Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Tiguan gear box failure

    Hi all i have a 2017 Tiguan bought new. Was travelling the other day and emergency warning came up that gearbox was in emergency mode. Drove an hour to nearest mechanic and it felt like car was sitting in between gears. Advised needed a new mechatronic unit. I am going to follow up with VW itself as this seems tobe a known problem with similar vehicles around this age. Has only done 50,000 km. Has anyone with similar car had any assistance from VW? I went to the dealership i puchased car from thid morning and he said if i got the car there hecouldsend off paperwork but he didnt sound confident i would get any assistance.
