I have the 2011 Tiguan SE FWD. It happened 3 times so far- when I turned on the car BEFORE I started the engine, there was a oil pressure warning on the MFI display, something like "Oil pressure low, check owners manual". As soon as I started the engine, the warning went away. I changed my oil all on schedule.
View 2 RepliesThe tire pressure monitoring system warning light has stayed on even after I've filled the tires with the proper amount of air. Does this warning light have to be reset somehow?
View 3 RepliesThe tire pressure warning light has been on in my car for about a week. The dashboard computer says that the tire pressure in the front right tire is 17 psi, but when I use the pressure gauge, the reading is almost 40 psi. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this problem?

The tire pressure unavailable came on and then the cel lit up.
Figured it's easier to get a response on vortex than searching thru the manual...
Low tire pressure light keeps coming on..all tires look good..is this because of weather? (its gotten a bit cooler in the last few days)
Is there a way to "clear" it?
A few days ago, the light for the Tire pressure monitor lit up in the dash. I got the car with nitrogen in the tires so I'm assuming that i have to take this back to the dealer to check the tire pressure and reset the indicator in the dash? How sensitive is this tire pressure monitor?
View 7 RepliesMy mom called today, frantic, telling me her Tig died twice in less than ten minutes and she couldn't get it restarted. The first time the Tig died, it happened without warning. The engine cut out completely, but still had electrical power. When the engine died, the only lights on the dash were the CEL, EPC, and generator lights (all of which normally remain on with the key in the "on" position without the engine running). She was able to restart the car immediately without issue and started driving again. Within two minutes, the Tig died again, but this time lost all power, including electrical, without warning. When she tried to restart the car again, there was no power whatsoever. Volkswagen is towing the car now to a dealership.
I have a few questions for the community, though. First, the car is a 2009 (purchased in 2008) and it has just over 34K miles on it. It's an SE non-4motion. I just got off the phone with VW and they're covering the tow, but the bumper-to-bumper warranty is expired by one month. What are the chances VW will diagnose and repair the vehicle under goodwill? This is our fourth VW we've owned since 2005 and one of two VWs we currently own. ALL of our cars have only gone to VW for service.
Second, what could be causing this issue? It seems pretty logical to me that it's strictly an electrical issue, but past that. The car won't get to the dealer in time for diagnosis today, but I'll know something midday Monday.
First cold day of the year today and naturally my TPMS light came on. Checked the pressures with my own gauge, all at 34 psi. Inflated them all to 38psi and the TPMS light is still on. Drove a little ways - still on. Checked pressures again - still 38psi. I had this happen once before in mid-winter two years ago and I can't remember what I had to do to reset the TPMS light. Mine isn't one of the ABS/ESP systems so I don't have a reset button - I need to do something with the VAGCOM but I don't recall what.
What's weird is that the TPMS threshold should be 7psi per wheel shouldn't it? And my light came on when it was only 4psi down. Is there somewhere I can check and find out what the ECU thinks the threshold is - again with my VAGCOM?

Notice this:
Why can you not have someone in the back seat directly behind the passenger seat if the passenger seat is folded down? Hell, it even says no one can be in the back-middle-seat either! Kind of ridiculous, don't you think? What is the specific reason?
Does the 2009 tiguan have brake pad wear warning light?
View 3 RepliesSo two weeks ago the Tiggy threw and EPC light while I was up in the mountains, twice. I took it in last Wednesday for service and according to my service tech, the parts needed for the throttle assembly have to be ordered...and not only that, but the part is back ordered.
View 14 RepliesThe ESP light to come on while cruising on dry pavement and then the burnt bulb light to come on. They both stayed on until the engine is restarted. I had 3 incidents with the same behavior so far in a month and they stayed on for the duration of the trip.
View 1 RepliesWife picked up this basic model for my daily driving to work. It does not have MFD or compass but a simple display menu. Recently I encounter some trouble on tire pressure and TPMS triggered. I was told to reset it by myself. Unfortunately, mine is basic S model and there is no MFD or reset button in glove box. Manual said using MFD. Any way to reset without going to dealership on Tiguan S model?
View 4 RepliesRecently the low windshield washer warning light came up on my dash. I rarely use it so found it weird. As I thought it was pretty full already. The warning only show up when its around 4 degree Celsius and doesn't show up when its around 10 degree.
View 5 RepliesI've installed six LED bulbs in the rear of my 2011 Tiguan (brake and running) and now the "bulb out" warning light comes on intermittently.
I don't need to solve this via resistors, new relay, etc. I just want to disable the warning light. Do this can be done via VAG-COM?
So have my first code and its the P0088 error. Seems to be a reading that fuel pressure is high. I feel no loss of power or any issues when it throws this. HAs Happened 2 times in the fast 3 months and the last one seemed to clear itself after a couple hours. VW is saying its APR stage 1 even through APR tunes (stage 1) don't change the fuel pressure. Not sure if its a sensor issue, the start of a bad HPFP or simply a weird effect from the tune. Again I have no power loss or any other notable issues.
View 5 RepliesA few weeks ago my wife drove the Tiguan but it was low on gas. The yellow light was already lit but there was enough to drive a few more kilometers. The display also gives you an estimate, so nothing to worry about.
When she came home, she claimed that she heard a voice coming from the dash giving a warning. Something like:please fill gas. I said to her, no way you're mistaking. You probably saw the warning in the display telling you to get gas and that there are just 20 kms to drive untill empty. But she was absolutely sure about it, there was a warningvoice, not just the text in the display. Since then, I tried to create the same situation by driving the Tig untill the last drop of gas but the car kept silent.

I recently had the rear pads replaced on my 2010 Tig after about 39k miles by my local mechanic (won't do that again). Not soon after I received the warning light that indicated a parking brake error but had no issue using the brake. Took it to the dealer for the 40k service and they checked the brake. Couldn't find anything wrong with it after diagnostics but they did reset it. Service Mgr said I may get the error again and they would have to look into it further (possibly the switch??). Received the error again today.
View 4 RepliesHave had my '11 Tiguan with 46K miles on in it into the dealer twice now for this issue. The first time they diagnosed the issue as a faulty control module, ordered one from Germany, installed in and the issue went a way for a while...
Over the past week the problem has come back with a vengeance. The Tiguan would complain that various headlights, fog lights, blinkers and backup lights were out. Sometimes turning on the lights and turning on the high beams would fix the issues, other times turning off the car and starting it again was necessary. Went into the dealership today and the issue was diagnosed as a burned fuse block.
Got the cornering lamp failure (AFS) warning this morning. How easy this is to replace and what the bulb part number is. Did some searching and found that it might be an H7 bulb. Is that correct? Would like to avoid a trip to the dealer if this is pretty easy to replace.
View 7 RepliesBought a VAG cable, got VCDS 12.12.0 running. Found the instrument cluster and changed the region to ROW(rest of world)(I have a US Tiguan). The center screen on the cluster changes( as in F change to C, Miles change to Kilometers, everything is ok). However, after recoding the cluster the airbag, ABS, and ESP warning lights come on. Once I revert all changes back to the US coding, everything is again ok.
