Slight oil consumption is normal. You can say about 100ml/1000 kms. I wouldn’t bother unless it is below the half way mark on the dipstick. If you’re anxious, get it checked at VW and get it topped up. I do not recommend Shell / IOCL pumps doing this. Stick to OEM oil, keep 1 litre bottle in the boot always for emergencies.

Wanted share unscheduled service feedback on my Tiguan -
Rear lights were damaged by motorcyclist who parked between my car and another in a designated parking spot. Probably whole removing it, the handle went through my brake lights. Called VW, they said party has to be ordered and will be contacted once it is available. Got a call from them in 3 days saying part was ready and I could go for installation. Took about 1.5 hours. No drama. Cost was 17,500.

I have decided to wait. I am assuming that the April manufactured Tiguan will be E20 compliant. That is what concerns me the most.

What other option have you looked at besides the vw and Skoda? I live in the NCR also. A friend has just bought a BYD and I am tempted especially with zero registration cost but my frequent hill drives deter me.

I am also in the NCR and take several hill drives a year. So after considering the Tiguan, I reluctantly passed on it and bought a Fortuner petrol. A big consideration for me was the tyres on the Tiguan (unusual size not easily available everywhere other than from VW service itself), the lack of a full-sized spare and I also wanted a car I could keep for ove ten years, preferably the full fifteen allowed in NCR for petrol vehicles. You can check my previous about my considerations of the advantages and disadvantages of the different choices. The other vehicle I considered was the Hyundai Tucson. Hope this helps. I was initially not too happy with the Fortuner, but absolutely love it now.

I don’t have enough knowledge on paints so could someone recommend if this can be done and would it last well?

Thank you

Hi,
I recently painted the black panels to the body colour on my Tiggy and it looks nice, did a bit of chrome & Alu finish deletes, painted the alloy as well to piano black. Planning to get the roof spoiler to complete the looks“ Roof edge spoiler Deep Black Pearl Effect” from VW.

The Fortuner doesn't work for me. Will wait and see how the new (post April manufactured) Tiguan turns out. They might add some additional features and maybe some clarity from VW might be forthcoming on the E20 compatibility issue. If I run out of options, then will probably buy an electric but as of now The Tiguan in Nightshade Blue is my number one choice.

Wow, this instantly looks so much better 😍😍
Do you mind sharing a picture of the rear bumper, did you also get the wheel arch painted?
Also, how much did it cost you?

[RJo_KRM]

Glad that you liked it. The trim on the wheel arches are also painted, all the ABS claddings are painted. The roof rails are wrapped with a deep black sun film (apparently it sticks the best); I’ll know it’s durability with time.
The entire paint job inclusive of all the chrome deletes costed me 32K.

I’ll get it done soon, I have a nightshade blue Tiguan, so I’m thinking to get the ABS cladding to body colour and the rims to grey.
The spoiler will be such a great add on.

Looks stunning. This has been on my to do list for the longest time. I have a dolphin grey Tiggy and have the similar idea, cladding painting in body color and the spoiler in pearl black.
Did you get this done at the Vw workshop?

Yeah, Tiggys look the best with the full body paint, the extended spoiler & the chrome deletes.
I got the paint job done outside, @carmed/Code6 on Hennur Road Bangalore. They have a fantastic paint booth & team.
The cost mentioned above was without the painting of the alloys, which was an additional 8K.

I recently found out that there is a vw connect plus app as well on IOS by the manufacturer.
I currently use the my Volkswagen connect app.
Do any of you use the newer one? And if so do I need to go to ASC to use the new app in case I switch?

The Volkswagen Tiguan just got three new features—all-new Wireless Mobile Charging, new Park Assist, and Dual tone Storm-Grey Interiors. After a long time, Tiguan got some new add-on features. Has anyone here seen how storm grey interiors in Tiguan or how will lookalike? I hope VW will not further increase the price of the car.

[Venkatesh]

Volkswagen Tiguan updated for 2023 and is priced at Rs 34.69 lakh.

- New dual-tone Storm Grey interior
- Wireless mobile charging
- Park Assist
- RDE compliant 2L turbo-petrol engine

Has any one got the software update done for the infotainment system? If yes, any issue faced during or after the update?
