Volkswagen Tiguan 1

Volkswagen Tiguan is a bright representative of the class of compact crossovers with off-road ambitions. The car is built on the Volkswagen Golf platform. Tiguan got its name by adding the German words Tiger - tiger and Leguan - lizard of the iguana. Production of the model began in 2007 at the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg. Later, the assembly of Russian crossovers was established in Kaluga. In 2011, Tiguan underwent restyling, during which the appearance was retouched and the engine line was expanded.

Engines

The prestyled VW Tiguan was equipped with gasoline engines with a mechanical supercharger and turbocharger 1. 4 TSI (150 hp) and 2. 0 TSI (170 hp). A 2.0 TDI turbodiesel (140 hp) was also available. After restyling in the line of gasoline units appeared: 1. 4 TSI without a mechanical supercharger (122 hp) and 2. 0 TSI forced up to 200 hp. All engines have a chain drive, except for diesel - uses a gear belt. The engines are combined with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The 1.4 TSI (150 hp) engines sometimes caused serious problems for their owners. The reason is the heavy load on the piston group at low speeds. As a result, there were cases of scattering piston rings, combustible partitions of the piston and destruction of the pistons themselves (with a run of more than 60 – 100 thousand km). After the use of stronger materials in 2013 and changes in the engine control program, there are no problems. Repair of the engine in such troubles will require about 100 - 150 thousand rubles. Unstable operation of the engine at a run of more than 20 – 30 thousand km can be caused by a stretched chain. But sometimes the signs of the problem are not so obvious, and at a stretch of 100-200 thousand kilometers, individual owners faced a chain jump. Replacement of the drive of the timing system at the officials will cost 40 – 50 thousand rubles, in third-party services – about 15 – 20 thousand rubles (together with work). Sometimes the asterisk of the oil pump drive wears out.

Transmission

Problems with the 6-step "mechanics" 0A6 have not yet been identified. With the Aisin “automatic” things are a little different. Often complaints appear already when running more than 20 – 40 thousand km. Owners note pushes or jerks when changing gears. As a rule, everything is done with little blood - flashing the ECU box. If tremors continue to occur during acceleration, then it is possible to replace the automatic transmission valve block (40 – 50 thousand rubles). However, the owners are in no hurry to visit the service, and the box continues to work, occasionally kicking when switching between 2nd and 3rd gear. The appearance of vibrations in the 6th gear will indicate the need to replace the hydraulic transformer. It is worth noting that real cases of overhaul of the machine occur only after 250-300 thousand km. Contrary to the worst expectations, does not bother with the notorious problems and 7-speed robot DSG. The cause of thunder blows when passing irregularities is often a cushion of a gearbox - rubber band knocks on metal. The sound is like the thud of a stabilizer bushing. Finding its source is not easy. When externally inspecting the support, it does not cause suspicion. For the connection of the rear wheels is responsible coupling Haldex IV generation. The first problems may occur when running more than 50 – 100 thousand km due to creaking suspension bearing of the driveshaft or failure of the electric pump. Suspension bearing (8-10 thousand rubles) is recommended to be changed only in the collection with a driveshaft (45-55,000 rubles). Repair kit for the pump clutch will cost 10 000 rubles. The 5th generation clutch does not allow for repairs.

Walking

The first in the suspension are bearings (600-800 rubles per piece), which begin to creak when turning the wheels or rattle on irregularities (when running more than 30 - 60 thousand km). After 40-70,000 km, the silent blocks of the front levers can creak, often with the onset of cold weather. Dealers will replace them under warranty. The suspension levers are surrendered to 100 - 150 thousand km.

Shock absorbers run more than 100 - 120 thousand km. The landing bearings will last at least 60 – 80 thousand km. The front will cost 6-7 thousand rubles, and the rear in 9-10 thousand rubles. The replacement work costs about 1 thousand rubles.

The bushings of the front stabilizer of transverse stability wear out when running more than 100 - 140 thousand km. They change only in the collection with a stabilizer - 5-6 thousand rubles.

The front brake pads run about 30 – 70 thousand km, the rear 40 – 90 thousand km.

On cars produced before 2012, there is a tightening of the steering wheel and a red lighting of the EUR malfunction signal after starting the engine and trying to move. The disease often occurs in winter. In such a situation, it is necessary to turn off the ignition and start the engine again. The fault is treated by flashing the power steering unit. If the failure occurs during the movement, the new software in this case will not help - the EUR will have to be replaced.

Other problems and malfunctions

The paintwork of the Volkswagen body is not too strong. Fortunately, the iron in the place of chips “bloom” is in no hurry. Sometimes there are swellings of paint on the back door of the trunk. On cars of the Kaluga assembly often poorly "fit" the doors, because of which they are poorly closed, and from under the seals through. An attempt to open the hood in severe frosts can lead to breakage of the plastic bracket - in the place of the lid control cable control bonnet lock. The problem of fogging headlights is infrequent. The windshields are bad at resisting mechanical influences. And the slightest chip immediately spreads across the glass web of cracks. Extraneous sounds in the cabin can cause a rear door lock, a rear shelf or a false floor. Many Tiguan crunch or creak door seals when passing irregularities with roll. Whistling of the heater motor is a common phenomenon, which increases in frost or acceleration. The reason is the dust that hits the fan bushings. Official services replace the “whistle” under warranty. If it is over, you need to remove the fan, clean and lubricate its bushings. Due to the failure of the contact group of the ignition lock can spontaneously turn on or off the tape, as well as not light up when turning off the ignition. A problem with the light can cause the fuse to melt in the block. Glass washers and wipers do not respond when the control unit of the onboard network fails (14 thousand rubles).

The Miracle of the Beast - Volkswagen Tiguan was not without flaws. Fortunately, all the sores are well known from other VAG cars. It is worth noting that the manufacturer constantly worked to eliminate errors.
