Tiguan - The First 100,000 kms

[Dartiguan]

That's serious kms and a great story to read. I have a DSG Diesel Tiguan with 55K after two years all highway driving and have the same experiences of up to 1000km for a tank. Have to decide whether to keep or trade at the end of the year. Keep us posted on when you hit the 300K mark. (Mind you a previous car I had was a 240 Volvo wagon with 5 speed electric OD when it left me it had over 650,000km on the clock) so I would expect the Tig do a few hundred thousand as a diesel.

Flywheel, eh? So that's what she told you! I always wondered how she would get the costs of those extravagant dresses, necklaces and ear rings past you!!

Now I know!

Hi All

We now have 100,000 Kms on our 2009 103Kw TDI. No further issues since replied in this tread at 60,000kms.

Our driving of 25,000 per year is mostly highway with some steep mountain climbing daily and gravel road to our rural property.

So total issues in 4yrs are a couple of light globes in the tail lights and a faulty engine management sensor. The sensor didn't change the driving at all, ie. no limp mode or other interference.

My only concern is space saver spare. I punctured a tyre on our gravel road and fitted the space saver in order to get down to Nowra to get a new tyre. Two disadvantages, speed limited to 80K and no towing with space saver.

In summary great car. My next vehicle is definitely another VW.

Great to hear a good news story Ralph. I will be looking at the next generation diesel Tiguan in 2015
