Re: Tiguan?
People who tow or drive up steep hills will still love an oil burner.

there is also Euro 6 compliance which protects current diesel cars till 2023 IIRC. Diesel fuel still has a lot going for it, if the power that be could make up there minds what they want to tax next it would help. My new BMW is a diesel and Im very pleased about that fact, faster than most other cars out there and 40mpg to boot. happy days. As for the OP - Any VW with a service history and thorough overview will be a "good" buy generally speaking, avoid the 1.6 manual unless the gearbox bearings have been done as these can fail out of warranty and are not cheap to resolve via VW - as for diesel or not - your call, Diesel still works for me and will do for a number of years. That said if its £400 for another years motoring thats good VFM so might be worth paying up and nursing it through? |

Re: Tiguan?
Not in my case. Renault UK confirmed to me it was not DMF Flywheel from the factory I may even have the transcript of the discussion somewhere. The mechanic was a little suprised too when he did the job but also confirmed was not DMF.

Re: Tiguan?
Either way it needs new tyres all round as well as a knocking coming from the front so it's going to be costing even more soon.

It's generally the Moto Bility crowed that abuse the cars that kills them.

Re: Tiguan?
love my 1.6 diesel yeti (motobility) but had a courtesy seat toledo and was well impressed, pretty nippy up to 80ish, 6 speed box and a HUGE boot, cabin was pretty quiet as well.
