Cost of Tiguan services

[Tigger]

Hah ha...now they have phoned me and said that the wipers "really need replacing" and that will cost aver $120.

Now I know they are rip-off scums, as there is NOTHING wrong with my wipers...at least there wasnt when I drove in there this morning! I can not beleive that they think we are stupid!

If my wipers had a problem or needed replacing, then I would have it done, but this is stupid!

Also, they were supposed to fix the centre consul that has broken due to their carelesness before (long story) I showed them this part when I made the booking several weeks ago. It should have beeen ordered in then so it could have been fitted today.

Now they say "it will be ordered and arrive from Germany. I will now have to go back in another time. It is a 4 hour round trip for me to do this!! Morons.

30,000km service was quoted $610 by VW, got a great mechanic who charged $410.

I'll do the next service myself so only cost is oil + oil filter. Piece of cake.

This is just a rough guide. http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f86/...tml#post585985
at 60,000km Haldex oil needs replacing and also ATF in Tiguans with automatic transmission, so expect to pay more. However with VW now loosing a grip on VW504.00/507.00 oils, since they're available for less than $80 retail for 5L the cost of 15,000km service shouldn't be as expensive as in the past.

is there any software update that need to be done on 15000KM services by the dealer?
if not then I will just bring to the independent mechanic

thanks guys

The only update i am aare of was the keyhole cover in the door handle that was able to be replaced as they had fallen off on some vehicles.

15000km Service today $280.. plus they are trying to resolve the noise between 2200 and 3000 rpm. they ordered and new flexjoint to see if that fixes the noise..

I have the same issue. Was told today that it is the wastegate and it's known by vw but not fix is known.

Hi all,

First time poster, as just joined after purchasing my tiguan last weekend.

Need to get a 15,000k service, do we have any jimmy like vw specialists in sydney that anyone knows of? I want someone to go over the car with a fine tooth comb to ensure all is good...

Thanks all and looking forward to many more posts in the future.

Just got my 1yr/15k service done.

$255 at VW Village in Kensington. They seemed like pretty good guys, can't comment on workmanship though as it is only really an oil change...guess it hasn't leaked!
