I took my car to the VW service center and they told me that the sensors can't be disabled. They did lower the volume of the sensor but could neither disable them nor change how early I want them to beep. They also said the emergency braking is a safety feature and can't be disabled.

It will be great if you could explain how these can be done.

And regarding the warning that comes at random times, they are saying that they are expecting a software update to come which will disable this feature. I will post it here if and when it comes.

Hi all, went in for the six month check up of my 2023 OBD2 Tiguan today and while the rest was normal stuff, came to know there was a software update which was installed. On enquiring was told it was for the AC but no more info was given and on my drive back home I did not notice any difference in menu or performance in general. Would appreciate if someone can throw some light on this.

I bought an Allspace in the same month. My car was manufactured in 2019 - and I had to sign a waiver stating that while I will get a 6 year extended warranty, I am aware that this car has been stored for over a year and there could be some issues because of that.

The day the car was delivered to me, the battery died. Volkswagen changed the battery at no cost but it set the tone for what was to follow. The batteries in the keys also died in the first year and had to be replaced. The wipers also needed to be replaced after 2 years. All of these lead me to believe the car was stored for a long time before selling.

We have had our battery replaced too - albeit more than a year after we got the car. And this is despite this car being used heavily - this car has already done over 35,000 km despite running having dropped over the last 3 months after we got an Ioniq 5. And yes the batteries on the key fobs have each failed more than once, perhaps even thrice. Wipers have been replaced too - but I do that once a year in any case given the Bombay monsoons.

I had an accident and needed to get the front bumper and a few other parts replaced. These parts were not available and it took a month to get them from elsewhere.

That is a potential issue with all CBU and CKD cars in India. And obviously a bigger problem for cars that are imported. Our windscreen developed a small crack due to a stone hitting it. Took about 2-3 weeks to replace but they allowed us to use the car in the interim.

Imagine stopping at a red light in India. Inevitably a two-wheeler will stop right next to you and because it is too close, the ADAS alarms will go off. There should be a way to turn this off when you are in heavy traffic.

There is an auto-brake feature in the car which is a great safety feature. It will brake the car if it feels you are going to slam into something in the front.

We were able to disable the general proximity sensors in our car. As also the lane keep assist. The only feature that cannot be disabled is the automatic emergency braking - which I would rather have than now have.

When you do get a problem, both spare parts and technical competence seem to be in short supply.

Very true.

I find the beeping sensors to be useful. You can choose how early you want them to beep or even disable them altogether.
Simillarly, you can disable the emergency braking feature.

In my view, except the battery dying immediately after buying, all others are normal and expected.

Have not figured how to disable the emergency braking.

Dear All,

Today visited VW Gurugram at Golf Course Road to check on Tiguan for my wife.

She is satisfied with the TD, which was pretty long as well as excellent Sales rep behavior.

Colors readily available: Nightshade blue & Dolphin grey.
Other colors can be arranged in 15 – 25 days, (her choice will be Nightshade blue).

MY 2024 cars, on road price at Gurugram = 41.52 Lakh, only 75,000/- discount will be given on it.

MY 2023 cars (Nov-Dec ’23) = On road after all discounts is 36.27 Lakh. Discounts in: Insurance (1.0L), corporate (1.0L), 4-year service package (85,999) & cash discounts. Can’t avail exchange bonus (75K), as I am not exchanging any cars with them.

All cars are now OBD-2.

This car, will be retain with us for at least next 10 years, and I don’t want to increase my budget (in fact I want to be with-in 35 Lakh). Above was first rounds of talks after the TD and we did not push further, but kept the door open.

Appreciate your valued inputs if any.

I purchased MY2023 Tiguan in December 2023 with a bit more discount than the above figure and exchanged my 2013 Vento TSi for a decent price and exchange bonus. I had been considering a change for a year and it seemed the right time. I tend to keep cars for 8-10 year horizon thus didn't make sense to forego INR 6-7 lakhs odd (plus the exchange value) for a car manufactured 45 days later for higher perceived resale value. The discount will exceed the higher resale by a wide margin after a few years of depreciation.

Warm wishes.

I'm planning to bug a Tiguan. I have a query - Does Tiguan have auto emergency braking? If it has, can anyone explain in detail.

So far in my experience, it has AEB which works only during parking at low speeds while reversing or going forward, in moving traffic I don't think it works and is not something you can compare to ADAS.

Nope, it doesn’t have AEB. SVWIPL CKD vehicles sold in India do not have ADAS features.

It has Manoeuvre Braking, which is utilises ultrasonic sensors for emergency braking at slow vehicle speeds.

Hello Tiggy Owners, do we any have update on E20 complaice of Tiguan ?

[oldcontessafan]

Yesterday I got a call from SA at VW whitefield saying last few stocks of Tiguan are left before they stop assembling and wait for new model. Only colours available were white and black (I was interested in nightshade blue). Seems non-sensical in my opinion to halt current gen sales when new model is not expected before 2025, and I conveyed the same to the SA as well.
Wanted to check from folks here if the SA is stating facts. In that case I will go ahead and block a vehicle since I like the current gen looks more than the upcoming one.

Thanks this is new information for me. I thought only BMWs and above had these caps! Beautiful color too that suits the elegant Teutonic lines very well.

Could anyone please share the current prices for 5th and 6th year extended warranties for the petrol Tiguan? The VW website only has info for the old diesel.
