Cost of Tiguan services

[olski1]

I thought the Tiguan ran the DQ500 across the range?

Confusing then.... Guy I dropped the car of with at the dealer told me sealed, which in my mind means it must be the DQ200, but then they are quoting me (different guy at front desk) prices as if DSG service is included....

I thought it was DQ500 originally....I have MY12 103 TDI DSG

Actually pretty sure it is the DQ500 now I think about it...... So I should be expecting a DSG oil change.... Think maybe they guy who took my car of me didn't know what he was talking about.... Not a good sign really...

A VW service manager could not tell me whether the loan car he was showing me was a jetta or passatt while he was looking at it!

They don't need to know anything about any car.

Their job is to ensure the department is maximising profit.

Some won't even speak to customers.

Was the DQ500 after all and had the full DSG service..... All for $960 which was a pleasant surprise.... Scary thing was, that the guy telling me it was sealed was meant to be a mechanic....

Just had the Haldex oil done today: half an hour labour @ $60 & $83 for the oil. Gotta be happy with that, never seen a workshop charge out for just half an hour, would have thought there'd be an hour minimum charge!

which garage did you go to?

Hiya hippy

I'm sure there are a few recommended independent garages in Sydney, but i used European Car Centre which is in Maryville/Wickham, close to inner Newcastle.

so i've got a quote to do a 120k service on the tig... they've quoted for timing belt and replacing water pump.

does the diesel tig have a timing belt?

It must - because they change the water pump each time the timing belt is changed.

Hi,

I thought Tiguan had timing chain - chain is supposed to be maintenance free (excluding the tensioner that could fail ).

Water pump would be something to replace.
