When the Volkswagen Tiguan came to Canada in 2009, the crossover scene was home to an intense battle that's still raging to this day.
Competing with the Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, GMC Terrain and many others, the Tiguan touted 200 standard horsepower, courtesy of a 2-litre turbo engine. This, along with an upscale feel noted for both its interior and drive, made the Tiguan a popular choice for driving enthusiasts.
All-wheel drive was standard or available across much of the model range, though some front-drive and even front-drive manual transmission models may pop up in your searches.

You didn’t even bother to mention THE BIGGEST issue with the Tiguan 2.0 TSI engine & that timing chain tensioner. The earlier ones fell apart, causing the engine to jump time & essential destroy itself. I

I’ve had a 2017 high line/sel r line from brand new. No problems except engine carbon build up. I love my tiguan!!!

Carbon buildup in the intake ports is a result of poor design and is not acceptable. I don't understand why people think this is OK.

Check for tailgate struts - mine went through 4 sets. Also check the electric handbrake - they fail - had 2 replacements on mine. And finally, check the central locking actually works on all doors.

You missed the most important issues, and dwelled on minor things. Chain tensioner, chain stretch and turbo wastegate wear are the most common expensive defects.

To give then credit the list is so long that you could never cover all of the issues. Since when did an intake manifold become a consumable item ? In the world of the VAG it is !!!!

Are they any good as used cars if the timing chain set is replaced?

@stevejohnson29 3 ай бұрын

Kind of. The other issues are like mentioned above. The stupid turbo wastegate hole in the manifold wears out. The center console lid breaks. The main fuse box fries & burns two main terminals. These engine develop a lot of carbon behind the intake valves.
