Help please!!! Never buy a Tiguan !!!
Discussion
Hi all after some advice on our absolute pup of a car 21 plate Tiguan 1.5.
We had this car from new and from day one it’s been a pain in the proverbial!!
It has suffered from the infamous “travel assist” issue which has meant no less than 3 new steering wheels - supplied under warranty - this fixed the issue for varying periods of time before re starting.
The last time we were out of warranty and VW wanted us to pay for a new wheel - given this was a known and reoccurring issue we declined and just lived with constant binging and bonging. This has got progressively worse and then yesterday the car through an EPC light, went into limp mode and the dash looks like a Christmas tree.
When scanning the car the following codes are present
P258B00 brake booster vacuum pump actuation implausible
P227900 air intake system air leakage
P164700 control units drive train check variant coding
After clearing these return within 100 yards of driving.
Before I head to main dealer does anyone have any experience, advice or thoughts on the above?
Thanks a million!
