2010 Volkswagen Tiguan Fuel system Problems

“In february 2014, my Tiguan began stalling when I would slow down to enter an off or on ramp. I would slow down, but when I attempted to speed back up, the car would begin stalling out, at times stalling out completely. I changed fuel, thinking that might be the problem, but it wasn't. My neighbor, who had just bought a 2014 Tiguan, told me he had received a recall notice regarding stalling issues involving the fuel pump in all tiguans from 2009-2014. …”

“The motor started to run rough. It was ideling from 1500 to 2000 RPM. I was told it is the pressure control valve. I changed the diaphram in the p.c.v. It was torn . It also caused my rear main motor seal to start to leak oil. Problem only got worse as now I have a fuel injector stuck shut. I drive city only . Car has 76000 miles on it . Rear main seal blew because of the faulty p.c.v. It controls engine and oil preassure. Estimated repair is 1500.00to 2200.00 . I have read this has happened to some other vw Tiguan owners. …”

“(cylinder failing/injectors leaking) engine light came on and the dealer said it was bad gas in my tank to let the gas run out and to fill up somewhere else. Car didn't have much power and idling wasn't smooth. They also said that if I keep getting bad gas that it will damage the catalyst converter which I then replied check the gas receipts in the car since I only buy bp and mobile 93 octane not my fault that gas station might be selling bad gas. We do own another car an audi with a turbo engine as well and we get gas at the same gas stations and we haven't had any problems. …”

“Purchased october 2017 and in january started to hear rattling sounds. Took back to subaru service where purchased and they did not find anything wrong with vehicle. In june 2018 car started to sputter and make sounds while driving and would not adjust rpms when driving. Could not go faster when stepping on the gas pedal on the highway. Three days later, car would start but would not go into gear and had to be towed from a restaurant parking lot. Mechanic gave an estimate of over $6,000 because timing chain broke and engine failed. Engine light had not gone on before that incident. …”

“Vehicle was in heavy traffic moving approx. 5mph and stalled. Was able to stop and attempt to restart a couple of times and engine would attempt to start, but would quickly shut off as if engine was not receiving any fuel. Pushed vehicle to nearby parking lot and same thing, vehicle would crank make some sputtering sounds and shut off. Epc and engine lights on. Pressing accelerator did not help. This had occurred 3-4 times several months earlier usually when backing out of a parking lot after starting the car. …”
