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,

  • Squeaky Tiguan 2010 YM

    Hi,
    My Tiguan is 9 years old, but only 60,000 kilometres, and hardly ever driven on an unsealed road.
    It has been squeaky all over when going over bumps for some time now. Definitely lots more than when it was new. It is hard to tell where it comes from, but it does not sound like one single place.
    Taking it to a service centre could be counter productive if they have smooth roads in the neighbourhood.

    Is this a known problem? Should I ignore it or is it something that would be better fixed ASAP ?

    This is something you could bring up at your annual service.

    Older cars get squeaks and rattles - it’s a fact of life.

    Even though your car has low km there’s a lot of rubber seals and suspension components which age with time.

    My thoughts with squeaks and rattles is that you can spend a lot of time finding them and most people are not prepared to pay someone $120-150 an hour to look for / fix rattles in their car.

    If you’re worried I’d get it up on a hoist and get all the suspension and engine/driveline checked and re-torqued. At least that way the major mechanical components are fine and it’s just some trims/ loose wires inside panels / extra screws which got dropped or clips that have come off.
