Question 1

Was the VW Tiguan affected by the diesel emissions scandal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, first-generation Tiguans with the EA189 2.0 TDI, built up to 2015, were recalled for a software update. Ask whether it was carried out; the second generation's EA288 engine was not part of the recall.

Question 2

How much road tax does a diesel Tiguan pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂ figure × 0.9 × a band factor, so half as much again as a petrol Tiguan with the same CO₂. At 150 g/km a diesel pays €148.50 a year, against €99 for a petrol car.

Question 3

Is a used Tiguan TDI right for short trips?

Accepted Answer

Not really: on short trips its particulate filter struggles to regenerate and can clog. A TDI makes sense for long commutes and towing; on a second-generation car keep the AdBlue tank topped up, as the engine will not restart once it runs dry.

Question 4

Which diesel versions does the new VW Tiguan come in?

Accepted Answer

The 2.0 TDI with 150 PS drives the front wheels, in Life, Edition 20 and R-Line trims, while the 193 PS version adds 4Motion, in Style or R-Line. Both use DSG.
