For my vehicle, a VW Tiguan 2018 2.0L 4Motion diesel SEL model, I opted to replace the timing/Axillary belts (due to a squeal noise) at 36,000 miles. As shown in the attached photographs, the timing and auxiliary belts were showing signs of wear.

Pros: replaced due to squeal noise
Cons: belts showing signs of wear

Mobil Engine oil

I've used a bunch of different oils including Castrol Edge, Amsoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1, and Liqui Moly. All Euro spec. All 5W-40.

I was trying different oils because our Tiguan burns oil, and I wanted to see if any particular brand would burn less.

So far, Mobil 1 Euro 5W-40 burns about half a liter every 1000 miles, while all the others burned about 800 mL. So I'm sticking with that oil for now.

Pros: burns less oil
Cons: null
Mileage: 1609 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

Being an AMSOIL dealer and my enthusiast knowledge of vehicles (not a master by any means), I would say that the consumption is very normal due to the very thin viscosity of 0w-20 oil.

Pros: consumption is very normal
Cons: thin viscosity of 0w-20

OEM Volkswagen Starter motor

  • Cranking:
  • Multiple attempts:
Rating 4.5

I guess I\u2019m in the minority, but I like the feature. I don\u2019t know how you clowns all drive, but it saves quite a bit of gas in city driving and at least in my Tiguan it seems to work well. I\u2019m still on my original battery and starter at 99K miles, which is more than I can say for some cars with conventional starters I\u2019ve owned.

Pros: saves gas, works well
Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 99000 km

OEM Volkswagen Shock absorbers

  • Bottoming:
Rating 1.0

Took our new 2024 North American model Tiguan in for maintenance as there is a clear hard clunk from front suspension going over bumps. I know from experience this is the rebound setting failing and the shocks hitting the lowers hard enough to shudder the steering.

Cons: hard clunk over bumps
