A good honest review of this car. Unlike so many others that are more of a sales pitch than a proper evaluation of the car. Thanks!

I have a 2011 Tiguan SE 4motion (US) with the 2.0 tsi, 6 spd auto, purchased secondhand in 2018. So far, I've had to replace the timing chain and tensioners, which were luckily covered by a VW recall. Other than that, so far I've only had preventative maintenance and fluid changes and am nearing 100k miles. Fingers crossed it continues its strong life for another 100k at least!!

We're in the market so we found this to be an honest and helpful review. Thank you! The only complaint I have is Natasha, Rocky & Bullwinkle never showed up.

Very professional! Great job, dude. Fans of VW from China.

Fantastic information! Glad to hear from a subject matter expert. Thanks to this, I'll finally sound like I know what I'm talking about when I talk to a mechanic. This video is awesome!

thank you so much brother! brilliant review off issues.

Really helpful, full of information. Thank you.

hello, you haven't uploaded a video in a month.Please continue to upload I like your content

Another great vid

You 100 percent deserve more subscribers for your honesty thank you, you have a new fan 💥

2nd generation 1 series, Skoda RS, Seat Leon cupra/Ibiza Cupra, Mercedes A class, Audi a1, A3, a7. Some cars That should be nice

It would be interesting to hear about the first and second generation BMW X3

Like with all VW it's all about maintenance, it's the price we pay for the fun of driving a German engineered car. Carbon cleaning service on these direct injection engines every 50K or so is a must or you're going to be dealing with the always fun 'misfire in multiple cylinders' code. You're going to have to replace the timing chain and tensioner at some point, I've done mine at 80K on one Tiguan and 125K on another (might as well do it at 100K and don't risk it breaking). Regular oil changes with high quality oil like Liqui Moly and a Mann or Blau oil filter will make a huge difference, do it yourself or find a good shop that specializes in VW's, do not go to Oil Can Guy or Quickie Lube where the techs are dudes who were flipping burgers last week at their first job. Regular required maintenance is key to keeping these motors tuned and running right, they're engineered to quite a high standard and you can't cheap out and expect a VW to treat you right, it's not Japanese or Korean where you just put gas and oil in and it runs forever (and is boring as hell). I first started driving VW's in the late 70's starting with my 69' Bug and have owned Jetta's, Golf's, GTI's and presently have two Tiguans and I've never been left stranded on the side of the road by any of them. I chalk that up to maintaining the hell out of them and treating them right. I did get stuck in the parking lot of a store once because the ignition switch in my 09' Tiguan went out. That's another one that you will end up replacing as well, when it starts getting hard or funky to turn that key, then it's going out and you have a very limited amount of turns left so get it replaced. That's one job I leave to the dealer because of the coding, there are good shops that can do the job but you better know them well and they better specialize in VW's like I said before. I was going to buy a new Tiguan in 2022 but they kept the same old 2.0 liter turbo engine while they did some major redesign of the car itself, this would have been a great time for an upgrade in the motor, VW missed the boat on that one. It's a good engine it's just a little dated.

More one subscriber here! Your English's easy to understand (I'm still learning...) and you give important information about these cars... how about cars by other brands such as Toyota, Honda, Ford?

I bought a 2008 2l Diesel and its great, honestly drives like a new car and was a bargain. I absolutely love it.

dakujeme , thanks so much , great channel

Very nice review bro

2017 Tiguan Sport is a safe car! I have one- Great insight here into VW’s Gen.1&2 sporty crossover. Nazdraví

Thank you for the video

Did you work for Volkswagen? You are so knowledgeable on this car! Thankyou.

A good review I like u make different but I would like and beg u to hear about Volkswagen Touareg 2016-2020/21

thanks for the review it's interesting, can u do one on Toyota Rav 4 ? after 2013 ?thx

Best car review 👌

This is a great channel! Wish I had found it before buying a VW with a 1.4 TSI TwinCharger engine, which needed a new timing chain/tensioner/carbon cleaning.

Very useful. I plan to purchase a 2010 in the next few days.

Hey, please do a video about Ford Focus MK2

please do a Land Cruiser video.

Exact video I needed to see. Im pretty sold on a vw tiguan but im buying a 2013 tiguan

I may buy a 2012 Tiguan that has a brand new factory built engine, installed Nov 2018. Is there any way to tell if the new engine has the upgraded tension system?

Thanks

The 2.0TSI gen2 engines also have a problem with piston rings which fail early(90,000km) - resulting in high oil consumption - common problem

Can you do a review of the seat leon 2015 please

please do a Volvo XC70 please

Hello! can you do Toyota Avensis? Thanks!

Thx

Review more german cars plz

Hi, can anyone advise what rim is on the vehicle in the thumbnail please? Looks really good on the car

Hi I am in the market for a 2.0 tdi 2011 it has 91000 on clock full vw service history I have zero knowledge about cars what should I be looking out for on this model etc I’ve watched this video for some tips but would be keen to other people’s views

What about a 2012 Tiguan sel tsi 93k miles?

I loved the review, but I am in the UK. It is hard to find the 2.0 petrol model here.

Super autos aus Volkswagen

I want to own a 2011 here in East Africa, but is it reliable. some advise.

veri nais luking car

Bought a 2009 Tiguan and it has had the most problems of any vehicle I have ever had or seen.

Hello. The switch on my Tiguan (2010) lacks the icon for flipping mirrors. Should I move them in by hand please ?

I want to buy a 2016 for my wife soon, anything we should know about with the 4motion on this vehicle? Any issues?

My revs seem high on tick over 1000 2015 4motion tdi

are the VW engines since 2015 reliable or they are still unreliable now a days ?

Can you turn the bluetooth off.

My 2.0 diesel ... Jumps, choking at 1 or 2 gear while accelerating......

I’m tryna get a 2015 sel with 55k miles on it. Should I?

Timing belt for the tdi is 5 years or about 80000 miles. So not just the mileage which is what I thought.

I want to buy 2014 or 2015 model is there anything I need to know

Disagree with good rust protection, my 2011 VW Tiguan needs 2 new front doors due to corrosion, low mileage and VW history, VW will not honour the 12 year corrosion warranty as it is the wrong type of corrosion, VW call it edge and fold corrosion, I call it a get out clause. So if you go to buy a second hand Tiguan, check around the seam sealer on the doors, any corrosion then walk away as it will not be covered by the warranty, big bills ahead.

The background music is very annoying and takes away from hearing what you have to say. Please do not use any background music on future videos.

Triguan - Is that German for Cheat Device?

Best thing you can do is not buy one, I have one, its a piece of junk, nothing but problems. Oil leak, gas gauge works when it wants to, passenger seat heating element burnt a hole in the seat, the MAF sensor goes bad every six months even tho I have cleaned it several times and replaced it. Drives like crap, it is a 2011 and it had 19,000 miles on it when I bought it, paint is chipping off several recalls.

Mazda 3 pls.

Had trouble with this one don't buy.

Total $hitbox, lol!

I'm 6'8 and 300 lbs and believe it or not I fit comfortably in the Volkswagen Tiguan. I would love to have it but listening to this scares me lol

So a 2013 volkswagen tiguan s, is out of the question? 🤦🏾‍♀️

First reson to not buy 2007-2016 .... looks butugly!!!! 17->looks nice!

That means tiguan is bad car??? Problems with this or that... To many problems for one very valuable vehicle.

I have a Tiguan and I will tell you this, DON'T BUY IT!

Most unreliable car in the entire world. I sold my 2012 4Motion SE after replacing the engine at 84K miles (10K dollars one month labor), AC compressor ($1K), Multiple oil leaks, including Intake Manifold ($600), vacuum pump (1K), control arms and a combined record of 18 mpg. **Check engine and coolant levels every week.

Looks like a great video, If only i could understand your english...

Never buy this car. I had ☝️. Pist of shit. Problem problems and problems

i detect a pronounced accent
