Many quality issues surfaced in the last two months since the first day

[Umai Naa!!]

Dealers are reluctant to 'fix' rattles and squeaks for free, unless they can replace an actual part.

You can't claim a repair under warranty, only replacement parts and the labour involved to do so.

It's common now for dealers to charge you to rectify a rattle, if there's parts replacement. Some car manufacturers don't even honor any sort of rattle warranty after a short period of time from purchase.

The VWs that are actually made in Germany seem to have less issues in the squeak/rattle/buzz area than those assembled elsewhere.

the noise you hear from the RNS510 isnt the CPU, its the hard drive.

What car did you have before the Tiguan?

Toyota Camery. Does this matter my experience?

So far I have been charged anything for that repair. That seems to be a good thing.

Totally dissapointed with Tiguan quality as proven to be a rattle machine. It is very difficult to believe this is a VW middle range car until you experience it yourself. To be very honest to all the members in here, this problem has been the first one i encountered in my 15 years driving history with 7 different other car brands.

Hafta agree with ya...mine too...suspension rattles when going over speed humps or rough surface,passenger's door rattles when going over speed humps or during hard cornering to the left,4motion shaft under car rattles/cluncking when stepping on pedal during low speed...dsg judders during 2nd to 3rd gear change between 1.2k-1.8k rpm...brought my car in to different service centers for troubleshooting n in hope of getting a fix...end up being told its normal n 'characteristic' of a 4mo tig that equipped with DCC/ACC...Darn it!!

You don't think all your suspension/tyres mods may affect rattles etc?

imo it is .. every car Ive ever done springs on did it

youve got to remember that some people who get mods done, actually think when the tuner tells that the "car now runs more efficiently" that it equates to their car now consuming less fuel

Nah...it has nothing to do with d mods i put in...coz i brought it in day 3 since i received my new car...went in few different dealers to troubleshoot d rattling issues...got d same answers as its normal n characteristics kinda bla bla bla...gave up looking for solutions n only then start modding my tig....in hope of solving the problem along d way...haha

I'm running with 19" rims & lowering springs & have no rattles... (since having the door latches greased & the wastegate clip on) Now i'm really concerned my car has no 'character'! Might have to put a few marbles in the door pockets!

[NZTiguan]

Mine's 4.5 years old and NO RATTLES, only a reoccurring "creak" from the B pillar that just needs some silicon spray to silence it for another 12 months !!

[Bambazonke]

Ditto NZTiguan also going on 4 yrs plus and still no rattles or squeaks. Main reason why I am looking at replacing it with another Tiguan TDI manual as it has performed well and beyond my expectations and I am comparing it to my 2007 320d
