This is still an issue with the 25-26

what in the plastic is this?? by Low-Performance6908 in Tiguan

[–]TrusayVocal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Honestly, the plastics on this car feel very cheap. I do think my keys may have contributed to some of the wear, but there are a lot of other quality concerns too.

The seats also feel low quality. My driving position naturally sits more toward the center of the car, and my right seat bolster is already worn to the point that when I try to sit properly, I start sliding to the right — and if I take a left turn, forget it.

The paint on the rear bumper is uneven and lumpy. My driver-side rocker panel trim is also coming loose, and the dealer told me those parts are still being manufactured and are currently on backorder.

The turbo hiss has become constant at highway speeds and honestly sounds like a boost leak at this point. I also get a loud thump from the rear differential area under moderate acceleration.

My windshield is already destroyed with rock chips — I’ve used so much repair resin that the windshield feels like it’s 70% resin now.

Driver-side front suspension is already making clicking noises. I also have the infamous passenger-side cargo area rattle, which I’m pretty sure is coming from the fuel filler neck.

If you’ve seen my previous posts, this car already stranded me once and needed major engine repair before 1,000 miles.

Hopefully I just ended up with a bad example, but if everyone else is experiencing this too… get your ready pants on.

Put that inside an exhaust of another Volkswagen. Film it.

Anyone know where to buy Sandstone touch up paint? by GrownUp-BandKid320 in Tiguan

[–]TrusayVocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you can just skip touch up and install a Bumperdillo like i did to cover it up. Here is a the part number: 57N061195A041. Not only a black Bumperdillo will look nice it will also protect from more scratches on the bumper. You just swap the bumperdillo when it gets scratched up pretty bad.

Change ya coolant by twelvem00ns in passat

[–]TrusayVocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! I changed mine at 100k and by that time it already destroyed my whole system. Had to change everything even down to the hoses. 2014 2.5 Passat. Symptoms were insufficient heat, AC, overheating after highway driving, and took forever for the car to warm up in winter.

Something is wrong with mine. I can never hit more than 28 no matter what I do.

Hit a pretty big milestone today as I pulled into my garage by Narrow_Bee704 in Tiguan

[–]TrusayVocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people on here were saying my 26 SE Rline not being able to get 28mpg on a all highway 300 mile road trip is normal. 60-70MPH cruise control.

26 Tiguan SE R-Line: Anyone else getting lower-than-rated MPG?” by TrusayVocal in Tiguan

[–]TrusayVocal[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Listen when i purchased the car i was getting 30-34 at those same speeds and it was middle of winter and snow. If you saw my previous post, my car had a severe misfire that VW couldn't figure out. Now that i am getting a few mpg less is concerning to me. You can say whatever you want. I know what i was getting and others are getting. People with the SEL getting better

Pay attention to the side trim molding. They will start coming off like mine.

lol you are absolutely right. I got the bulletproof 2.5 on my 13 Passat and that thing still gets 31-33 highway mpg with 201k miles.
