Volkswagen Tiguan Mechanical Review
Рет қаралды 92,413
Күн бұрынHere's a look under the hood and underneath the Volkswagen Tiguan!
In this video we take a look at this 2019 VW Tiguan cross-over sport utility vehicle. We examine is 2.0L turbocharged 4 cylinder EA888 engine, including the air intake setup, turbocharger, intake plenum, direct injection fuel delivery system, valve cover, PCV, EVAP, spark plug, oil lubrication setup, valve train and drive belt setup. We also examine the cooling system, 8 speed automatic transmission and driveline, suspension, exhaust and brakes.
Overall the Volkswagen Tiguan uses a good amount of recent technology under the hood to keep it from being dated, such as the use of electronic valve adjustments, a turbo charged engine and aluminum across many components. However with such complexity comes at the expense of longevity, with merely average build quality for a new car and poor reliability and ease of maintenance. For those thinking of buying a Volkswagen Tiguan, an extended warranty or a short term lease might be more feasible.

A lot of VW haters in the comments. I have owned two - a 2010 Golf TDI (stupidly traded due to the scandal) and now a 2017 Passat. Repairs have not been excessive for either. Both drive exceptionally well on the highway and are a pleasure to drive generally. Highway fuel economy is stellar on the Passat for such a large car. I agree that VW's may become more expensive as they age and are needlessly complex, but the hating on them is typical for North Americans. I am not convinced they are inherently worse than other brands with middling reputations (e.g. Dodge, Kia, Ford, etc.).

I really appreciate the analysis of whether parts of the design of the car are sound and reliable or not. For a non mechanic like me, all engines kind of look the same. But I get a lot out of your criticisms of plastic parts, stamped steel or undersized rotors. I liked your analysis of the CX-5, and it made me interested in the car. I don't need the latest tech to go from A to B, I want reliable tech. But the rust on the CX-5 is a critical vulnerability. Thanks so much for pointing that out.

Since we are talking about VWs, here's my story. Bought a new Mk. 2 Seat Leon in 2012 with a manual gearbox and 1.4l tsi that made 125hp The most interesting failure it developed over some time was a coolant leak, but without evidence of one. The coolant reservoir had to be topped up every so often. Eventually, the culprit was found, and it's the intake heat exchanger, It leaked fluid into the cylinders. This fix included replacing spark plugs and one of the coil packs. The next biggest was the turbo waste gate valve that got stuck. I opted to clean it, and extend the rod that pushed it by 1 cm. So far it has been good After that, the brake booster leaked internally, had that replaced with a known good unit off a mk. 5 golf. The battery died at some point, and I replaced the serpentine belt, its tensioner and rollers. It is now at 85000 miles or 136000 km. Keep in mind, this is the last year they produced that particular car (from 2005 its 7 years in production) and all the "major" problems should have been solved.
@dgurevich1 2 жыл бұрын
@thre362fdsgsd eh... it stopped eventually. The car is now nearing 120000 miles, and since then I had no real issues with it. It's not worth much anyway, so I'll just keep using it until it's no longer worth the upkeep. Actually, taking all of that into account, it's a fun and engaging car to drive.

A lot of haters, as usual with VW. I'm sure that 95% of those who complaint about those don't have one, they just "heard" a neighbour or asked a "japanese car expert". "Experts" (because everyone is an expert these days). Toyota, Honda or a Mazda (which has improved a lot the last decade) are definitely good choices. Yes, many are built to last for many years, they are simple and easy to fix. But this doesnt mean german cars are bad. In fact, the "problem" with VW cars is not the quality or the engine or the materials used in its building but the fact that it needs specialized mechanic workshops to service them. Yes, VW is more complex than a japanese, but not less reliable. They are in general funnier to drive but need special care, which means more money at the end. But if you like german cars, like VW, and take good care of them, they can last decades. Many plastic parts in this VW, and still, many owners can have them for decades. VW dominates EU market and shares top 2 sales with Toyota in Africa. Second biggest automotive group in the world... I dont think it is because they sell junk, but instead, very reliable and secure cars.

Judging by the AVS( audi valvelift system ) solenoids on the intake side it is the 190hp variant with budack cycle, in europe it also comes with port injection on the intake manifold, which works in conjunction with the high pressure direct injection ramp to lower soot. That cooler on the radiator front looks like the intercooler for the turbo, the 220hp variant with AVS on the exhaust has it there

The oil filter assembly has a check valve mechanism which opens and drains the housing when you unscrew the cap. If you give it a bit of time (less than 60 seconds), you can remove the cartridge filter without much mess or fuss.

Thank u for this review one year later I feel better. I was wondering why they where so cheap. If it’s to good to be true then it must be.

A Rogue instead of a Tiguan? Well, doesnt seem to be the smartest choice. Rogue's CVT is also known for its bad reliability. "Experts" (because everyone is an expert these days) normally choose a Toyota or a Honda or a Mazda, which has improved a lot the last decade. In fact, the "problem" with VW cars is not the quality or the engine or the materials used in its building but the fact that it needs specialized mechanic workshops to service them. Yes, VW is more complex than a japanese, but not less reliable. They are in general funnier to drive but need special care, which means more money at the end.

They told me many reasons for the leaking, including sealing issues, water pump failure, etc, but they never really fixed it. One time, they told me, ok, we fixed it, after 10 mins driving, my engine smoked. In 2020, sold it. I told myself not to buy any Audi again.... While ordered an RS3 a couple of months ago.

speedkar99 It’s the cause of many a rear diff failure due to the confusion at time of service. You pointed to the transfer clutch section fill plug and the diff section drain plug. If you didn’t notice the full level of the transfer clutch section and just drained the gear section out You can guess how that turns out. It’s stupid they design it this way. You can see the diff gear section fill plug right above one of the case bolt just right of the axle flange at 10:22 mark. The transfer section drain is facing the front of the car a small round hex driven bolt.

VW products are loved in Algeria and tend to last a fair bit of time and depreciate the least... we mostly have naturally aspirated gasoline engines and the reputable 2.0 TDI 143 HP euro 4... no FAP or AdBlue to worry about... the most commun problems are injectors related and automatic transmissions ( 80% of the cars are manual )

I like this series but I wish you would do more research. No VW came with a brake disc "wiper" - this function is done by the ABS system, using the regular brake caliper and pads, on most VWs that have a rain sensor. One less part to fail. The oil filter housing on these engines is in an excellent position. Oil changes are designed to be done by evacuation, for which you should loosen the filter first. It will be dry by the time the evacuation is complete. Not a single drop of spilled oil on the changes I've done on my Golf. Finally, the hate for Torx has got to stop. Torx will hold the most torque of any common internally wrenching fastener. An externally wrenching bolt would be ideal, but costs have to be cut somewhere. I used to work on 767s and 747s, all of the under wing panels are secured with Phillips screws. All day long, screw extraction after screw extraction, valve grinding compound, screw knockers, because the screws are above your head and people are too lazy to push up firmly and hold the screw gun straight when tightening. I would've killed for Torx.

I have had VW's since I started driving, which is over 30 years. I never had any problems that where a big deal. I decided to listen to the BS Japanese quality so I purchased a 2017 Honda Crv. After 2 months it did not start. Battery died got brand new battery, died 2 weeks later. It took 3 batteries when they finally fixed it. Oh and then if you like freezing in -10 to -20 oi dilution for the 1.5 liter. Engine temp dropped to cold if you had blower on high and you where in stop and go. Plastics all over the place cheap thin materials typical Japanese as I noticed at the car show. And terrible lag due from CVT turbo combo. Electronics completely going crazy on Touring all safeties turned on and off no fix. So yeah I just picked up a new 2020 VW Tiguan no issues with acceleration it's no Porsche but gets going and also not bad on gas.

I’ve driven BMW Audi and VW vehicles for about 10 years. So far I’ve had the best fuel efficiency in them. The build quality is awesome and they very very rarely visit the dealer. Engines always provide good power and over they are very safe vehicles. Even when I’m driving an Asian vehicle it sucks the wind noise is terrible. AlWAYS an anemic engine and the technology is maybe 6 years behind.

2018 Tiguan is my first and last VW. 2 Months in and it goes to VW for going into limp mode due to what I was told a loose connector at the accelerator pedal. Then is gets recalled for a coolant bottle @ 10k and the coolant still noticeably drops between services, I can even smell coolant after a long drive. I mentioned to VW I suspected coolant loss/burn stated the amount of cooling I'm loosing between services is normal, What? Recall for ECU reprogramming @ 20k. Then about 30k I started getting warning flashes on the dash and by the time I look down it's gone and doesn't appear in the fancy vehicle status screen. Check engine light going on then off and VW says it was all a low battery but tested it and didn't recommend replacing it. 30k service included 2 new tires with alignment, all new rear brakes, diff fluid change, cabin filter, brake flush to the tune of $2000. I'm afraid to work on this myself like I have every other car I've owned because with all the issues its having I want to make sure VW doesn't use me working on it as a way to weasel out of honoring warranty work. Now at 32k Transmission goes into "emergency mode" and had to bring it in for shifter replacement.
