I was told during the delivery of my Tiguan last week that the extended warranty document would be sent me by email from VW. I have received the SVP details on email this week, but haven’t yet received the extended warranty. How long does this typically take?

Also, does the Tiguan have telematics? Can we use any of the VW apps to access the car data, geo fence etc?

No e-mail in my case I had to request for the PDF for both from my detailer. I also took a physical printout of the same and had the dealer stamp it.

Yes. Get the 'My Volkswagen' app from App/Playstore.

I don’t know how but I have lost my jio dongle of my car(VW Tiguan)! Workshop people are telling me to wait as they don’t have the availability of the same.
Can I buy it from some where else?
Any suggestions ?

Finally brought home a Silver Tiguan today. Drove it about 5 km from the showroom to my home and can definitely say that after lots of deliberation it was the correct buying decision for us.

Got the alloys hydro dipped as the silver alloys were looking too monotonous with the silver car.

Thank you to all the BHPians who gave valuable suggestions and helped me make up my mind to get the Tiguan.

Hi! How did you manage to get these alloys? These alloys look way better than the default one's.

Thanks for sharing. I was almost on the verge of buying this car last year but once I went through so many posts about the tiguan; I chose not to take the risk. I am happy to know that you did not face any serious issues like - noise with steering, G/b issues, O/h issues as faced by many.

I would like to know your opinion about the kodiaq, did you consider it at the time of purchase?

Thanks

The alloys are the original ones that came with the car but I got them hydro dipped with the carbon fibre look and yes they do look far better than the original silver colour.

Can I activate the off-road display on my 22 Tiguan just like the kodiaq has it?

If you are referring to Tiguan Allspace, it is proving to be a fairly reliable car. I know there were couple of owners who had some issues but most of us haven't faced any issues. I have also not heard about any EPC issues or minor issues like air vent's parts coming off like in case of Kodiaq.

For wheels, nothing comes close to OEM like BBS wheels. I think the OEMs are made by Borbet. Check if you can paint / hydro dip the current wheels. Not worth investing in new wheels unless your plan is to go for 19" wheels. For BBS wheels reach out to PJ Speedshop - 9884121584. I am not affiliated to him, just a customer.

For tyres, my Kodiaq is also due for tyre change at 45K kms. I have shortlisted these tyres:
1) Pirelli Scorpion Verde summer (w/seal inside), which has a sealant layer inside the tread part of the tyre, helps with small punctures.
2) Michelin Primacy SUV+ - you'll have to upsize to 60 profile for this tyre.
3) Vredestein Ultrac Vorti. Supposedly a good tyre.
4) Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season

I personally am leaning towards option 1 for now.

Thank you, I did receive the extended warranty too on email. Got both the SVP and EW stamped and delivered to me by the sales associate during the post sales visit. These are also showing on my VW app.

However the dealership has so far not been able to enable telematics. I requested this during the 1000 km checkup but they have not been able to get it going. Said they are in touch with VW regarding this.

Awesome buy, congratulations! At 35L OTR, I think it is an absolute steal.

From a Tiguan owner to a new Tiguan owner many many congratulations!
I cannot wait for you to truly see what your car can do on the twisties as I learned over the months, among other things one doesn't learn at the test drive level

This is not something I had a look at when I bought mine a little over half a year ago. I'm very very pleased to hear this, thanks for sharing this data.

If you’re comparing the discounted Tiguan price to the actual price of the Q3, you are comparing apples with oranges. Q3 in Delhi atleast costs around 40-45L OTR(Premium to Technology) in Delhi. So even if you compare the top model of both Tiguan and Q3, the audi is around 10L more expensive while adding ride quality, badge value, a better all wheel drive, better quality interiors, better NVH, etc.

None the less, the Tiguan is a great car too but the Q3 is only 5-10 lakhs away.
