Hi,
I just inherited my wife's old ride - a 2009 Tiguan 2.0 TDi 4motion auto. I am using it to keep the miles down on my Landcruiser however I do like the little Gal as she is very quiet and fuel efficient (the car, not the wife).
What am i here? Well I have a few problems that nobody (mechanics) have been able to help with so i am hoping someone here might be able to shine some light on.
I am having difficultly getting the shifter to select the vanilla 'drive; mode. It is slipping straight into 'manual' mode. my only choice is to pop it further in 'sport' mode. Not ideal. Interestingly we had a problem recently with the reverse lights not coming on and both the dealer (austral vw) and the local VW expert wanted upwards of $4000 to take out the transmission to fix. oddly, the reverse lights started to work when this new problem started. it's looking like a linkage issue, however I would have thought they would be mostly electronic.
