Today we are talking about failures of the VW Tiguan. The failures of the Tiguan are rather minor, other than issues with the 2.0T TSI engine. That is where most of the failures come from. I left out many of the TSI engine failures from this video. Check out the video I did on TSI engine failures.

Geeze, thanks, I'm now so excited I Bought my 2019 Tiguan. can't wait to pay for all these repairs!

@Paulius923 19 дней назад

This video was not about the newer tiguans, its based on old ones

@robertwilliams6218 8 лет назад

I guess I am glad I decided not to go all in and buy an SEL in '14. I got the SE with the simple radio fearing the more options it had the more could break. I do LOVE my Tiguan though

@jaymax9560 6 лет назад

Have you had any problems? I have always owned Toyotas and I am not used to paying for anything more than oil changes, tyres and brakes. Now ordered the new Tiguan and looks like German engineering is not all that.

@RenaxTM91 8 лет назад

My employer has 50-60 Tiguans, they are driven around 50000km a year, around half of that is with a 1500kg+ trailer attatched and the rest stop and go never more than 2 km between stops. They have so far had no really bad faults, other than beeing too small for 5 grown men. The rear door is too small for getting large workboots in and out quickly and the center cupholder in the rear is broken in every single one because of bad placement. (when someone has to sit in the middle with big heavy workboots they kick them to pieces getting in and out) I don't really like them due to the auto-wipers and electronic parkingbreak, also the steering wheel it too high even in the lowest setting. but those things aren't exclusive to the tiguan, but every new car I've tryed..

@baluesclues8929 7 лет назад

So agree with the steering adjustment... I an not short, but my legs are longer than my torso and being able to drop the steering wheel another couple of inches would compensate for having to sit so far back in the seat.

@michaelslama7399 4 года назад

Live in remote area where snow and ice big problem but my wife each have a Tiguan and love the way they handle the snow and ice. Very sporty and one at 145000 km and the other at 187000 km and we plan on keeping them into the 300000 plus range at least. If you do regular maintenance and don’t drive like an asshole they run well. Yes had some of these issues but so did most other cars we have had.

@GaryMcKinnonUFO 5 лет назад

First thing to go on mine (in the UK) were the front suspension console mounts (just worn, not broken), warning lamps and the dimming switch, all after 3.5 years. No other faults.

You’re right. With all the technology integrated in cars nowadays people will be pressured to buy new cars more often because these vehicles will be obsolete not long after they come out. Also I live in a state where emissions inspections are required every year and what people are doing is just buying a new cars when the check engine light comes on.

It is so annoying when people get in the comments to say "I don't have those issues or I have had no issues. " You have to realize you if they have sold 300,000 units....you have one of those units. You might be the lucky one. Clearly these observations are over the course of years of being a mechanic.

@Ryan57Garr 6 лет назад

Are these mostly issues on the early Tiguans or have you seen these on the later ones as well? I have heard of timing tensioners exploding in 2009-2010 Audi 2.0T motors, so maybe earlier models have more problems? Or do they get lazy and cheap out after a few years on this car?

@photogenicferrets9422 6 лет назад

I just bought a 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan the day before New Year's eve. It has been in the shop 3 times since then. It is February 9th, and the damn check engine light just came on again. I'm taking it in on Monday. I hope I didn't buy a complete lemon. What are your thoughts? First it was a vacuum leak, next it was a rear seal oil leak, third time it was a gasket...lols! I afraid to know what is next? However, I heard you say something about a smell being caused by a leaky panoramic sun roof... I have noticed a smell off and on. Now I think you have just helped me figure out where it was coming from! Thank you for you helpful advice!

@tylernayavich7437 4 года назад

Hey man! Awesome videos! I'm thinking of grabbing a 2011 Tiguan with 60,000 miles on it. Car drove like a dream and started up great. My only concern is I see a lot of water pump, turbo, and timing complaints on these Tiguans right around the 60,000 mark. Would you say those are rare, probably user inflicted cases? (Too long between oil changes, etc.) or would you advise to stay away from the vehicle all together? The vehicle had one owner, and driven an average of only 6000 miles a year. Thanks a lot!

@tobidavis1651 2 года назад

I currently own a 2011 fwd Tiguan 2.0t. it is a very fun car! Faster than most road cars, fat enough for whatever ya need. However, they have a recall for a timing chain tensioner that could nuke the engine in that mile range. Also, fwd is shit with turbo and weight, so it is not too good in the rain.... Mine's had two crashes at low speeds simply because ABS didn't kick in or traction control couldn't handle the weight of the SUV. If you live in a fair weather area you're golden!

Great video! I'm searching for a late model used Tiguan. I turned in my Passat TDI and have been driving a 2012 Jetta 2.5 that I picked up really cheap and would like to add another vehicle. These things drop like rocks in value compared crossovers like RAV4 and CRV. The Tiguan is really an excellent value used. I just hope its not a nightmare to own.

@HumbleMechanic 7 лет назад

There are a few things that need to be addressed if you buy an old one. They are okay... just okay. That comes from someone who owns one. Well we are leasing one. I do think I would like it less if we owned it. But knowing we can give the keys back in a year is nice.

@nonniewalter8284 4 года назад

I have a 2018 Tiguan bought it brand new. Every ~2,000 miles the low oil light comes on. I take it VW and they all tell me it’s normal to burn a lot of oil. Every time they add about a quart and half of oil. I drive about 300 miles a month and they are around town. It has 12,000 miles right now and the low oil has come on 4 times since purchasing the Tiguan. Is this really normal oil consumption ???

@compu85 8 лет назад

I helped my room mate change the WP on his tiguan because the thermostat was sticking open. Annoyingly this failed a few thousand miles after we did the intake manifold! We should have done the PCV at the same time because a cold snap seemed to make it freeze up and it blew out the rear main in one evening's drive. Oh well.... Interesting about it having 2 fuel pumps in the tank. I assume the Touareg is similar? One side just refills the other side?

@HumbleMechanic 8 лет назад

+compu85 Man that is such and awesome overlap with the intake. The T-reg pump is a hot mess. So many lines and vents and what not. I should do a video on that. If I ever round up a set of pumps I will.

@urgrandmascar 3 года назад

Is the panoramic sunroof supposed to leak but drain through drain hoses? I had a major leak into the car and it messed up my Blu tooth unit there was so much water it was sloshing around ABOVE THE CARPET. After hours of trouble shooting with a hose, I managed to find out that the rear drain hose connection to the rubber grommet where it goes outside was short. That, plus a build up of gunk at the rubber grommet allowed the water to build up in the hose and leak through the connection at the grommet. To check if this is your problem, just run a hose over the sun roof, and use your thumb to plug the hose at the bottom (behind tail light house). If there isn’t more water coming in, this is very likely your issue.

@urgrandmascar 3 года назад

I used a larger rubber hose to extend the drain hose, plus sprayed some flex seal around it to ensure nothing will leak at the connection again.

@urgrandmascar 3 года назад

A running garden hose and removing the trunk panelling is your best friend to trouble shoot the problem.

I still want a Tiguan regardless of the issues I've been hearing/reading, I just need to learn how to fix some of the issues myself when they arise and be on top of keeping it well-maintained.

I am buying a MY2012 Tiguan 2.0TSI 4Motion and it has done 45,000miles. I had a vagcom scan done and it only has an airbag control module fault. I read the coolant temp as one of my usual check in all my VW purchase and realised it’s on the high side of 96 degrees celcius at idle, usually it should be at 88-89 degrees celcius. What could be the issue? No external coolant leaks found and the coolant reservoir is around the max mark. I suspect it could be just bad thermostat or a partially chocked radiator but it could be a bigger problem relating to a previous over heating issue! Any advice on how to troubleshoot this using vagcom? Thanks in advance guys.

@HumbleMechanic 6 лет назад

From my experience 96 at idle is not bad at all. I'd watch the temp and see if the fans come on.

@phasehonda 6 лет назад

HumbleMechanic it’s because the water temp on my Golf is around 89 at idle. Since this way from day 1. Yes that’s a good idea, will check the fan cycle and see how the temp fluctuates. Any idea if there are more than 1 coolant thermostat on the Tiguan’s 2.0TSI? I am prepared to change the water pump cum thermostat In advance as a precaution move. Going to keep this SUV for at least another 5 years. Stage 3 is in the pipeline too.

So, I can help you with sunroof, you need to buy a plastic small tube and insert it in the holes in the front of the sunroof. This will help unclog them, the water should be coming out the front tires. You need to buy a tube with diameter that will fit in the holes, and buy about 15ft length. I just did this. Know I have to figure out how to get the water stains out from the interior.

Can… yes… would I… NOOO. Turbo issues, sunroof issues, electronic issues… buy a non turbo Toyota or Honda.

@chuckp1832 6 лет назад

Like most German cars, way over complicated and way too fragile. Water pumps and fuel pumps should last at least 100k and not crap out in 40k. Buy a freakin' Japanese car!

help please hope u read this ok so i have 03 vw jetta 2.8l vr6 glx an it has a automatic triptonic transmission an i no longer have reverse at first each gear worked only thing was on cold days it would take 20mins for me take off because when put into drive the care would not do nothing intill it warm up but even then i still had reverse nw i no longer have reverse what would u guess went wrong internally in the transmission ?

@HumbleMechanic 8 лет назад

+jonathan ramos The transmission is most likely toast. But double check the fluid level to be sure it is good.

@theboyjking 8 лет назад

+HumbleMechanic i checked the fluid an it was fine didn't see alot of metal shavings ether but did notice the over fill tube that should b in the pan was missing. do u think it could be one of the solenoids? im only asking because i cant afford to do a complete rebuild an i know its nt best to do what im trying to do but at this point i just trying fix it an then down the road do it proper..

They seem to hold up longer than older ones. 60-80k is the most common.

With the exception of the door lock covers (what...?), everything seems pretty "run of the mill" in terms of failures, which is actually really good! Sounds like these will make pretty solid used "first cars" for the next generation in 10-15 years. :)

@DripExplains 7 лет назад

@minabobina420 7 лет назад

+erica7991 you should get a newer model year and definitely less than 80,000 miles. These cars depreciate greatly after leaving the lot so you can find a good deal on newer ones depending on your budget. The 2009 is the first year that these came out in the U.S. and I hear a lot more issues with those.

I just bought a Tiguan last week and it ran fine until I filled up 2 days ago. The check engine light came on and the car stated to studder a bit. I got home and tried to start it the next morning but it won't. The engine cranks up, runs for a second and then shuts down. Any ideas as to what's going on?

@exninja6387 5 лет назад

In the ~5 years I had one, we had just about all of these. I'm pretty sure the only reason we didn't have a sunroof leak is because we didn't have a sunroof. I just about lit it on fire when our tensioner went out. Luckily no catastrophic damage (or I would have for sure). Also lucky our RMS hadn't blown. New owner is probably dealing with that now or already did.

@panzerveps 8 лет назад

I've changed a few of those sun roofs (50-100's), and in most cases the leak was where the frame is glued together in the front corners. Very common problem on the diesel tiguans (cbab engine) is the turbo regulator, causing a vacuum leak.

I am wondering about the proximity sensors, I am not sure if I have them and if I do they are beeping at me? How can I check for them? Thanks for the video, I hope my little Tiguan doesn't give me any problems in the next two years then I will trade in for a new model, I love all the bells and whistles it has.

@HumbleMechanic 5 лет назад

If it has little circles in the bumper about the size of a nickel you have then. Put the car in reverse, foot 100% on brake and have someone walk about 2ft behind you and see if it beeeeeeepppsss at ya.

@mamaboocee 6 лет назад

Does it matter if it was manufactured in germany or not (mine is a Wolfsburg mfctr)? I love my 2015 tiquan, no problems at all so far, purchased with 2 year bumper to bumper protection in 2017, had it for a year so far....oh wait, electronic parking brake sticks sometimes, but that's it! :)

@HumbleMechanic 6 лет назад

There are some times where I think you can point to pattern failures being due to where a car was built. But mostly I think it's a parts or design issue.

@Mtechthewise 8 лет назад

It is important to remember that not all Tiguan owners will experience all or any of these 'typical' problems in their ownership of the car. Secondly, if Toyota's never broke, the Toyota dealers would be able to function with a lube lane and maybe 1 other service bay...seen any built like that? me neither :o)

2013 Tiguan SEL, LEATHER ehated seats, had air noise on sun roof, rubber gasket was distorted, reposition it, no more noise, had none of any problems, oh, the gas lock solenoid got dirty and would stick, , couldn't open gas flap, but got it popped open, no damage to door, dealer had the solenoid in stock, I asked, happens more than once, he jokes, that's why we have them in stock..it's a small motor, not much power, so slight debris on shaft kills it, easy to replace, I did it myself one screw under rubber outside, reaching in between trunk rug, and quarter panel to push wire and grommet in, was the hardest part, not bad, connect wire, works great

HumbleMechanic Bought a brand-new 2017 Tiguan SEL, front wheel drive. We have 2400 miles on it and my wife has told me three times she has felt a slight jolt like somebody bumped her from behind. Any ideas what that could be from. All three times she was completely stopped with her foot on the brake at idle before driving on. Does this car have dry dual clutch automatic type issues like you hear about with Fords. She never got any kind of failure light indications. Thanks for all your great videos. We love Tiguans!
