Hi All
I have found a Tiguan 1.4 TSI automatic that I am keen to buy. Its a 2014 model with 114k km on the clock.
I have heard a rumour about the engines in the 1.4 tiguans giving issues from 70 000 km upward.
Please let me know if you have had any similar issues or heard about it?
Would appreciate it!

Re: 1.4 TSI Tiguan
I was advised to stay away from the 1.4 TSi's when we were looking for a Tiguan for my ex-wife but @PoLonY had one that didn't give any issues from what I recall.

Re: 1.4 TSI Tiguan
Yup had a 2014 118kw twincharged one from new for 65k km and no issues whatsoever, in fact my brother in law bought it from us for his wife and they are still enjoying itNeuk wrote:I was advised to stay away from the 1.4 TSi's when we were looking for a Tiguan for my ex-wife but @PoLonY had one that didn't give any issues from what I recall.
However they do seem to be a lucky packet in that regard so I'd personally recommend to stay away from buying one secondhand
The single turbo 90kw 1.4TSI is however far more reliable
Although that said, at 114k km it should have started experiencing the oil consumption issue by now if it was going to
