Try a different dealer or call VW head office.

Hi, New TDI tiguan owner here and already have 30,000ks (the wife drives 400 k's a day for work - so we went with the diesel).
Just wondering whether any other tiguan owners have had issues with
1. a leaking oil return line - leaks oil from a bolt above the sump plug/bolt? Dealer fixed this after 2 trips and complaints - they didnt believe me at first.
2. My drive shaft flicks oil out of the centre bearing - i have asked the dealership but they say thay havnt seen this before so dont know whether its a problem??? They wont replace it untill they a sure its a problem.
3. There is an oil leak on the passenger side of the radiator/intercooler on the bottom - dealer says this is normal they all leak.....
Any thoughts/responses are greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Totally agree with Transporter, I'd be raising all hell with any dealer that told me new VWs ALL LEAK OIL. He has to be a complete &^*&_wit. I have the diesel and I can tell you there's NO sign of oil ANYWHERE !!!!

That's a bugger BUT you don't have to use the "dealer" for your normal servicing !!

Jimmy is the man to go for for servicing etc, but this is a warranty issue and needs to be dealt with by the dealer.
