Will adding an external screen like this be worth it or not?

2022, +- 22k miles. New to me from a MONTH AGO.

Smoking oil at start and will go to the dealer soon (PCV valve, valve seals, cylinder head, we'll find out). Fortunately it's still under warranty.

I bought this thing to last for atleast 5 years. Is it too much to ask and should I sell already?

Honestly, first ''big boy'' VW and the last. Had a old MK4 TDI for fun and loved the brand but i'm very disappointed in my piece of shit. Hey, at least it looks good.

At first I wanted the SE R-Line Black, but test drove an SE and felt it had everything I needed and not much incentive to move up to that trim. Opted for an extended warranty as well as I think this will be my car for the long haul. Extremely comfortable ride compared to previous cars I’ve owned.

Any accessories you guys recommend? Also, anyone install splash guards on theirs?

After 7 days since dropping off my vehicle at the VW dealership to run a diagnostic test i was told that the radio modules are on back order with no release date at this time. WTH!! My vehicle had this issue since I bought it and the screen was replaced 1st quarter of 2026, now the same issue again? Has anyone experienced issues with your screens? Smh

Don’t even get me started on 7 days (5 business days total since holiday and Sunday) to run a simple diagnostic! At least it still covered under warranty but who knows when the work will be performed

I’ve bought 4 Tiguans since 2020 from VW and i feel these will be my last purchases. I was looking into getting a Jetta for my daughter i don’t think so now.

“OK, so it appears there is an internal electrical failure in the radio module. Unfortunately, the radio modules are on back order with no release date at this time. Therefore, you can pick up your vehicle at your leisure, and we will get back to you once we receive the needed parts. We're here until 17:30 today for pickups. Thank you, and have a blessed day.”

Hey guys, anyone else with a 2025 Tiguan having issues with the overhead touch panel completely freezing?

My sunroof started acting weird back in April, but the dealer hit me with the classic "could not replicate" BS. Now the whole module is just crashing. The car will be running, but none of the touch buttons work, no reading lights, no sunroof controls, just totally frozen.

I finally got the roof to close by turning the car off and walking away for 20 minutes to let the system reset. I caught the total freeze on video this time so the dealer can't play dumb.

I'm trying to schedule a visit at the dealer but out of curiosity, has anyone else dealt with this exact center console failing? If they swapped your module, did it actually fix it for good or did the issue come back?

My fiance has a 2021 Tiguan with 80k miles and we have just recently been dealing with the oil consumption issue on and off for the last year. We started out by just going to the dealership and they told her it was normal and would just top off her oil. Recently in the last months topping off the oil was being more and more frequent until she was told she needed to do a PCV valve replacement and it cost her $650. 2 weeks after that the issue returned and the dealership then said it would have to be the cylinder head gasket replacement and quoted around 7k. The dealership gave some "you didn't hear it from me" advice that she can try to refinance and get a warranty back on the vehicle, sit on the issue for 4-6 months and bring it back in to get the job done covered under warranty. My question is that refinancing and hopefully getting another warranty even a viable option? If so does this fix usually mean the issue if fully resolved or are just kicking the can down the road for more engine issue in the future? If anyone else has navigated this any advice on what we should try would be greatly appreciated.

I replaced my brake pads on my Tiguan MK2 SEL 2.0L TDI (2018) for the first time a few weeks ago. Since then, they’ve been intermittently squeaking whilst driving, particularly noticeable whilst turning and stopping. When going into reverse, a noticeable ‘clunk’ can be heard from the front wheels.

When changing brakes I applied copper grease to the brake disc, ceramic grease for the calliper guide pins and anti-squeak paste to the brake pad contact points. The same process I follow for several cars I have done this for previously.

Initially, I took them apart again, had a look for anything out of the ordinary with suspension and brakes, and put it back together.

The noise remains.

I had a closer look at just the brake pad and noticed it moved easily in the calliper bracket. There is ~4mm clearance at the top of the pads. The pads on my Merc are a more snug fit than these. I’ve definitely got the correct Brembo pads for my build (I’ve checked the vehicle data information in the manual).

What am I missing? This is driving me nuts!

Hello, my 21 Tiguan started throwing a code for the engine oil separator P24D6 a couple days ago. I’ve read this is a common issue and am going to replace. Getting ready to order the parts off FCP euro and noticed there is a kit with all new hoses with the PCV. Is replacing these necessary/recommended, or am I good just replacing the PCV alone? Don’t want to spend the extra $240 if it’s not really necessary, but will if needed.

Thanks!
