    It's not hurting anything to leave it there.

    Might help sell it, later on down the track.

      There's quite a few pre-facelift TDIs available for not too much money, am wondering which issues can pop up with these?

        Just drove a 2010 prefacelift tdi today, with the 7 speed DSG (DSG DQ500-7A). This is still a wet clutch like the 6 speed DSG?

          Yes the 7 speed in the Tiguan is a high torque wet clutch unit. The DQ500 is a pretty reliable unit - even better than the 6 speed. There's very few issues with this particular transmission.

            Are there any particular issues with the tdi otherwise?

              Was DSG even available 2010 in a Tiguan? Thought they only came out with conventional auto back in those days!

                Yes the DSG came in the MY11 update prior to the facelift in MY12. So there's 12 months where the 7 speed DSG was available in the pre-facelift Tig.
