    Volkswagen Tiguan 2008: Expensive servicing

    Volkswagen Volkswagen Advice Volkswagen Tiguan Volkswagen Tiguan Advice Volkswagen Tiguan 2008

    At around 104,600km I had to replace the EGR ($1286.20), the DPF sensor ($288.70), and the O2 sensor ($523.75) in my 2008 VW Tiguan diesel for a total of $2098.65. I was not very impressed that this should happen after just 104,600km. It made 2015 a very expensive year.

    It's always frustrating when you find yourself shelling out large sums of money on a car that you would think should be be bulletproof for the first period of it life. It's not like your car has done a million miles. I'm tempted to say that's the European experience. I would recommend that you find a good independent mechanic who specializes in VWs and take your car there.
