Volkswagen Tiguan 2008: Expensive servicing
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.

The Tiguan is not a full-on off-roader, so you need to be cautious about the terrain you tackle in it, but I’m sure it’s as safe as any SUV is off-road. If you’re going to spend a lot of time off road, and in tough going, you could think about fitting a guard to the fuel tank.
