"I purchased a two-wheel drive Yue R-Line Version Volkswagen Tiguan L at the Beijing Changping SAIC Volkswagen 4S store on April 18, 2021, the engine fault light was lit for the first time on December 26, 2021, tested in the 4S store, indicating that the mixture was too thin, and had been regenerated, and on January 18, 2022, the engine fault light was lit for the second time, and in the 4S store, it was detected, indicating that the combustion measurement system was too thin, and the technician reversed the solenoid valve seat of the carbon tank GPF related upgrade processing. Detection prompts may be caused by a leak in the recent channel, but the technician failed to find the cause of the leak, on January 19, 2022, the engine failure light was lit for the third time, the technician failed to find the willing, and added fuel treasure to continue to use the observation. On February 1, 2022, the particle trap fault light was lit, the detection blockage reached level 4, and the 4S store recommended regeneration treatment, and I temporarily disagreed with the solution. ”
A Tiguan L 2021 330TSI automatic two-wheel drive R-Line owner recently described his car troubles.
It is worth noting that in August last year, the new Tiguan L has been listed, the new car has adjusted the appearance configuration, while still providing 1.4T engine and 2.0T high and low power engine three kinds of power, at that time we were skeptical about whether the 2022 Tiguan L 330TSI model has a particle trap blockage problem, and now from the owner's complaint feedback, the problem seems to still exist.
A 2022 model 330TSI Tiguan L owner said in February: "The vehicle purchased in October 2021, the previous first blockage was more than 3400 kilometers, now it is 5800 kilometers, fuel consumption has increased sharply, the usual speed of 38 kilometers per hour, the normal fuel consumption should be about 8, today's automatic start-stop failure, the power is significantly weakened, the engine is loud and accompanied by rustling sound, the frustration is obvious, during driving and after parking, the chassis makes a clicking sound, and the particle trap is blocked, resulting in serious impact on the use of the vehicle." , and there are serious safety hazards in the use of vehicles, requiring manufacturers to completely solve the problem. ”
In fact, although it is SAIC Volkswagen's fist model, the problem of particle trapper blockage of Tiguan L has been erupting for a long time, and most of the problems reflected by car owners are concentrated on the problem of "particle trap blockage". Once the particle trap blockage problem occurs, the car will face many problems such as doubling fuel consumption and automatic start-stop failure, which will cause inconvenience to the owner of the car and increase the cost of the owner's car.
In response to this problem, although the manufacturer has also done some so-called "upgrades", the problem will still recur, and it cannot be completely solved, which has also led to repeated complaints from car owners. Statistics from the car quality network show that since January 1 this year, until the author's publication (February 21), the number of complaints about Tiguan L has reached 138 cases, ranking first in the complaint list, and its complaints are mostly concentrated in exhaust failures, high fuel consumption, insufficient power, transmission drag and other issues.
As the problem continues to ferment, the sales volume of Tiguan L has also begun to be affected, in the past, Tiguan L often won the throne of the joint venture SUV sales ranking, but now the sales volume is deteriorating, not only withdrawing from the top ten of the SUV sales list, but also the sales decline is becoming more and more serious, and it is encountering consumers fleeing with their feet.
Taking January sales as an example, Tiguan L's monthly sales were only 16,228 units, a year-on-year decline of 17.2%, and it also withdrew from the top ten of the SUV sales list. The decline in sales of Tiguan L will inevitably have an impact on the higher sales of SAIC Volkswagen and become a constraint on its sales.
Write at the end:
Now listed for more than half a year, from the owner's complaints, it seems that the problem is still there, that is to say, the problem of clogging the particle trap of Tiguan L is still fermenting. For manufacturers, the problem of Tiguan L is not a day or two, close to 315, the frequent problems of Tiguan L will not be exposed by the 315 evening party we do not know, but as a responsible manufacturer, SAIC Volkswagen should still come up with a solution that satisfies consumers as soon as possible.
