1. It rides gorgeous, just touch the gas pedal - the car rides and the traction never ends.
2. Perfectly rulitsya. Moved from Mazda 6 13 years old, Mazda steered perfectly .. but the Tiguan despite short base and its height steers even better, in any turn like on rails
3. Four-wheel drive - in my opinion the best in the class.
4. Great salon- high-quality materials, nothing strums, does not rattle after 90t.km.
5. Everything is thought out in terms of ergonomics, everything is highlighted, everything works as it should
6. Suspension is a little stiff, but rides great on the dirt road.
7. Reliability ... can be written as a plus. There was nothing global for 90 thousand ... at the same time, the car will tell you in advance about any serious malfunction
8. Consumption. 13 in summer, 14 in winter. For a car with such dynamics, it's just ridiculous.
In general, the car is really good. Convenience ... practicality. Trunk. Tiguan is a sport hatch in the city, where you can park in any crack, and norms. crossover off-road, where you can get anywhere you want
1. Suspension ... in terms of small bumps on the pavement. There is an annoying rattle.
2. Engine oil consumption. 2-3 liters per 7500 km. A little annoying to periodically get the probe. However, you can not do this, but simply fill in a liter when the computer says to check the oil level.
3. Feeling .... that you will not be able to drive this car for a long time. Yes ... fears, worries, that now he will start eating a liter per thousand, or even more, and the piston cabins will come. however, this is purely mental anguish. People drive far beyond 200, and the only problems are the engine oil, the turbine and everything connected with it.
4. The high cost of servants. MOT every 7500 costs 7300 with materials. In total, 15k comes out every year 2 times. Plus, anyway, sometimes you need to tweak something ... somewhere to update the software. Total another 10 thousand a year for small shoals. The same must be done every year. complete diagnostics, which costs 3600. Total 25-30k is exclusively for the service.
5. Track ... the levers of the car are not for the track.
1. Pump at 60 thousand. Cost 20k with work.
2. In all-wheel drive the pump broke down (they often have a problem), the replacement of the brushes cost about 20k.
3. At 90k, the turbine bypass valve grunted, costing 6400 with work.
4. Minor malfunctions... chain tensioner, software updates for various units, etc.
Everything else ... consumables, which by the way can also be attributed to the pump. The brake discs still go to 90k mileage, the pads front and rear changed 1 time.
If you are in Irkutsk and you are no longer driving under warranty - advice, do not go to the officials with this car. There is a collective farm, razvodilovo and a farce. When I was selling the car, they managed to scratch on the diagnostics and did not tighten 1 bolt into the wheel. As before, it was in service ... They ask for some incredible money for the work, the cost of spare parts = the price on the Internet x 4. There is a wonderful DasAuto service in Irkutsk. They know these cars inside and out and you can drive with them for a long time and not be afraid that something happened to the car.
In 2007, engineers from the German automotive by Volkswagen hatchback based Volkswagen Golf was designed in principle new car– VW Tiguan. Thanks to the impeccable reputation of the progenitor, the SUV won universal recognition in a short period of time. True, at the end of 2014, Tiguan lost the first two positions on the podium to its competitors. Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Already in 2015, the manufacturer announces the start of production of the second generation of the SUV. The exclusive novelty was able to cheer up the market segment.
Today, the car is assembled not only in Germany, but also in Russia, in the city of Kaluga. German company increased its power potential in the domestic car market, thereby fueling additional interest in the SUV from Russian buyer. Before purchase expensive car it is desirable to get acquainted not only with his operational properties but also indicators of reliability and durability. Next, we determine what the actual engine resource for the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4, 2.0 is.
Range of motors
The Volkswagen Tiguan engine range is represented by turbocharged power units with a working volume of 1.4 and 2.0 liters. Engine 1.4 TSI power 122 and 150 hp also set to . Gasoline engines are excellent technical specifications and enough great resource. As practice shows, power plants from the VW Tiguan line are capable of traveling 300 or more thousand km. The 2.0 TSI motor is made from cast iron block cylinders and aluminum head.
There are several modifications of it, differing in their rated power - 170 and 200 Horse power. The buyer can also choose from a diesel analogue. cardinal structural differences can't be found between engines. The difference lies in the fact that the 170-horsepower version is powered by a BorgWarner Ko3 turbine, while a Ko4 is installed on a more powerful counterpart.
Some design features VW Tiguan engines:
- Compression ratio 10.5;
- Number of valves - 16;
- The presence of DOHC / belt;
- Ecological class corresponding to Euro-5 standards.
The first generation Tiguan was equipped with a 6-speed hydromechanical automatic, and the next generation acquired a 7-speed DSG robot. The transmission of an SUV is known not only for its high-quality assembly, but also for its silent operation. At the stage of acceleration of the car, the operation of the engine is muffled, and at cruise speed, only the noise emitted by the tires.
How many "runs" the engine on the Volkswagen Tiguan
In order to understand what the actual engine resource for the Volkswagen Tiguan is, you need to understand them in more detail. design feature. The bulk of the owners of the modification with a 1.4-liter engine complains about the miscalculations of the designers in the margin of safety piston group. In particular, the piston itself, which, due to excessive loads and high temperatures fails prematurely. First problems with it constructive element power unit may occur at the turn of 100 thousand km. Also at this stage of the run, it is advisable to monitor the condition of the timing chain. The 2.0 TDI turbodiesel has a belt instead of a chain. The condition of the timing drive must be monitored very carefully. Breaking this element leads to backfire- the valves are bent. As you know, the repair and maintenance of German SUVs is not cheap.
When passing the first 150,000 km, there is increased consumption oil needs to be changed oil scraper rings or valves. Diesel 2.0-liter engines win in terms of actual resource at gasoline analogues. But, it is worth saying that in some cases problems with high-pressure fuel pumps cannot be avoided. The reason for this is fuel. Low quality. Professionals recommend constantly monitoring the condition of the pusher fuel pump, it is best to complex diagnostics every 20-30 thousand km.
The result is the following: 1.4-liter gasoline engine able to cover about 300 thousand kilometers, subject to proper and regular maintenance. Diesel analogue before the first overhaul travels over 350,000 km.
Owner reviews about the resource of the power unit
Both turbo engines are of high quality and reliable, they are distinguished by high speed characteristics, but are extremely demanding on the quality of refueling fuel and engine oil are sensitive to coolant. All three components must be closely monitored, otherwise you will have to invest in expensive auto repairs. Now let's go directly to the reviews of the owners Volkswagen Tiguan who empirically determined the duration of trouble-free operation of the main power unit of a car.
Engine 1.4
- Mikhail, Voronezh. Was dissatisfied with the acquisition of a representative of the German car industry with a 1.4-liter engine. The motor does not cope with its tasks at all, the Volkswagen Golf with the same engine was several times more cheerful. Plus, the questionable build quality and a very ridiculous resource. I have a Tiguan 2010 and for all this time I have invested in repairs an amount equivalent to the cost of a car. From constant detonations on the pistons, the edges under the rings break. A very demanding car for fuel quality.
- Maxim, Yalta. SUV as a whole was satisfied, but there is one big BUT. The 1.4 TSI engine is frankly too weak and unreliable. For such a colossus, a minimum volume of 1.6 liters and not 150 hp is needed. In the morning, the car has to be started like our AvtoVAZ. I refuel at Lukoil AI-95, as recommended by the manufacturer. The chain was installed just awful, it flew off without even passing 80 thousand km. The motor is constantly stalled at traffic lights, at any moment it could start to troit. In general, I sold this car and began to sleep peacefully.
- Stanislav, Vladivostok. I have been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan since 2009. When I approached the mark of 110 thousand kilometers, problems began with the chain. Quickly replaced, no more damage. For many years now, driving an SUV - only positive impressions. For those who like to press the trigger from the start, this car is definitely not suitable. With such a mass and power, the chain flies at once.
- Egor, Moscow. Been driving since 2015. I wound up 70 thousand km during this time. The thermostat was replaced under warranty, and the crack formed during intake manifold. There are no problems with starting during frosts, the suspension is of the highest level. The resource of the 1.4 TSI engine is too dependent on the quality of gasoline. Any unsuccessful refueling can turn into trouble. Too late, the secret was revealed to me - the aluminum block and plasma spraying "live" with our fuel for 100 thousand km.
The power unit of 1.4 liters is not bad in its characteristics. However, we are too dependent on the quality of fuel, the regularity of maintenance and many other external factors. Not the most successful development of German engineers, as evidenced by the reviews of former and current owners Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4.
Engine 2.0
- Nikolay. Urengoy. Since 2008, I have been operating a German SUV with diesel engine. When passing 170,000 km, I decided to replace the timing belt with rollers and pump. Now the car starts even better even at -30. Note to drivers: a diesel engine outperforms a gasoline counterpart in terms of resource under the same operating conditions and an equal working volume.
- Sergey. Moscow. During the selection of VW Tiguan paid great attention engine quality. After reviewing a large number of information, came to the conclusion that the resource of a 2.0-liter engine is much higher than that of less voluminous counterparts. In practice, everything was confirmed - the chain does not give any signals over the first 200 thousand km. The main thing is to refuel at proven gas stations and use certified oil.
- Alexey, St. Petersburg. I have a 2017 car, diesel 2.0. Before buying, I talked with competent people about the reliability of Tiguan engines. People said that the chain resource is about 300 thousand km, that is, almost to the first capital. The turbine passes even more, everything is done on high level. Much depends on the quality of the consumables themselves and scheduled maintenance auto.
- Matthew. Cheboksary. Ask an experienced VW Tiguan owner which modification is more reliable, he will answer you - a two-liter one. I myself have personally seen a car that has passed more than 300 thousand. The resource also depends on the driving style, the first 200 thousand km generally pass without any problems with adequate driving.
Many car owners agreed that the 2-liter power point is more reliable and resistant to adverse conditions operation. Numerous studies also confirm the fact that in practice the resource of the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 engine is more than 300 thousand kilometers.
Many expected that compact model will be molded in the likeness of the older brother "Tuareg" - lowering the row in transfer box, differential locks. But the Tiguan was nevertheless destined for the role of an SUV - it was created on the basis of the fifth generation Golf, from which it was able to adopt excellent road habits. And even though it is contraindicated to go on a trophy-raid on it, but due to a solid ground clearance in 200 mm and short overhangs, he turned out to be quite a worthy fighter with Russian roads, which can often be called directions. Moreover, from the very beginning it was possible to choose the modification "Track and Field", that is, "track and field", with a pursed lip front bumper, due to which the angle of entry increased from 18 to 28 degrees.
He settled in the showrooms of official dealers towards the end of 2008 - in the midst of the global crisis. At the same time, from the very beginning of sales, the Tiguan had a Russian VIN number - at first it was assembled in Kaluga using the SKD (that is, screwdriver) assembly technology, and since 2010 - already in a full cycle, including welding body parts and painting (CKD). However, the very next year he charmed more than seven thousand Russian motorists, and after restyling, he won over 30 thousand customers, pulling himself up to fourth place in the popularity rating. Only the democratic Duster that appeared later prevented him from climbing the pedestal. But Volkswagen was still able to outdo the Toyota RAV4, the founder of modern class SUVs, dearly loved by our compatriots.
For all six years the price basic version The Tiguana hovered around a million rubles, and after restyling, when a 122-horsepower front-wheel drive modification appeared, the first line of the price list even fell below the mark of 900 thousand.
Body and its electrical equipment
Under reliable protection
There are almost no complaints about the car body: galvanization reliably protects it from chips, and a very practical dark gray “skirt” made of unpainted plastic around the entire perimeter allows owners to protect the car from body repair with contact parking. This rule also works in case of an accident at low speeds, which is good news - even if you have all possible insurance policies, this saves a lot of time.
Due to the specific aerodynamics of a two-volume body, the tailgate attracts all the dirt raised by the car from the road; and after three or four years, its lower edge may still succumb to corrosion - this place should be carefully inspected before buying. Best Option combating such a nuisance will be an extra layer of anticorrosive from a spray can and regular monitoring of a possible accumulation of moisture.
An unfortunate assembly oversight can be recognized as the noise-insulating mat of the hood that sags after a year of operation - the fastening clips do not withstand the load and alternately come out of their seats. During the warranty period, the dealer changes the clips and even the entire casing, but the subsequent owners will have to solve this problem on their own. Take note: the clip code is 1H5 863 849 A01C.
Also note that in winter period snow from shoes can regularly get into the bowels of the floor accelerator pedal, and at one fine moment the pedal can simply break off - due to ice formation. Therefore, it is better to shake off your feet before each trip.
Transmission
DSG - no!
The basic 6-speed manual gearbox is not only extremely selective in its work, but also very reliable. Some owners complain of a somewhat difficult shift from 1st to 2nd gear in cold weather. We advise you to simply wait until the oil warms up after 5-10 minutes of driving - then the problem will be solved by itself. The trouble-free "mechanics" was installed only on two modifications with 1.4 liter turbo engines - with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
With two-liter engines - gasoline and diesel - a pair is formed by a non-alternative 6-speed "automatic", quickly shifting gears and not annoying the owners with breakdowns. And here robotic box DSG gear first appeared in conjunction with a 150-horsepower 1.4TSI engine in 2012 - this is a 6-speed unit that does not work “dry”, but in an “oil bath”. It is more reliable than the 7-speed DSG with “dry” clutches that the Golfs were equipped with, however, it is not without sin: after 70 thousand mileage, it begins to have problems associated with the ingress of clutch wear products into the common oil circuit.
Engines
Paying for technology
The base engine of the Tiguan in 2008 in Russia was a 150-horsepower "twin-charger" - a progressive turbocharged engine and parallel working mechanical compressor. This decision allowed the engineers to “bury” the turbo pit in the zone low speed at the start of the movement. In the European specification, this engine had 160 hp, but we sold a version derated to 150 hp. Excellent traction reserve, enviable efficiency and excellent acceleration dynamics in fact turned into possible problems with a chain and a cylinder-piston group - due to the design features of the compressor, accelerated wear pistons in the second and (or) third cylinders.
After restyling, the Germans solved the problem with the CPG by making a number of changes to the pistons (for example, steel reinforcing inserts were added), then the extendable chain and the damper prone to self-destruction did not disappear. In general, we strongly do not recommend this modification to you. And if you are still tempted by the “twin-charger”, then be sure to check the condition of the chain and damper, as well as cylinder-piston group: these works could be carried out during the warranty period by the dealer - and more than once! By the way, subject to timely maintenance, even the subsequent owner has the right to count on the support of the plant in the form of a "kulants" - a program that allows you to compensate for a significant part of the cost of repairing expensive units. In addition, it will not be superfluous to change the oil in this engine more often (at least once every 10,000 km) and fill the tank with 98th gasoline.
The 122-horsepower 1.4TSI with a conventional turbocharger turned out to be much less whimsical, however, this unit is not immune to problems with the timing chain. Avoiding trouble is actually not that difficult if you follow one simple rule - never put the car into gear on a slope. And if it's unusual for you to leave the car on only one parking brake, then keep in mind: it is necessary to tuck the gear in the parking lot only after the car is on the handbrake in the “neutral” position with the brake pedal fully depressed. The only way!
Much more common in secondary market is a two-liter gasoline turbo engine, which, depending on the degree of forcing, develops 170 or 200 hp. With. This engine, in addition to increased oil appetite, was not marked by any special troubles. You can only complain about the leakage of the position sensor seal camshaft: replacing the gasket, as well as the sensor itself, does not eliminate the problem, but only pushes it back for a short time. However, Volkswagen engineers nevertheless heeded the pleas of the tiguan growers and, during restyling, changed the design of the assembly, successfully solving this defect.
And yet, oddly enough, the 140-horsepower turbodiesel turned out to be the most problem-free (in Europe, by the way, there are modifications with a capacity of 110 and 170 forces, but in Russia they simply do not exist on the secondary market). The motor carries remarkably cold start in cold weather, digests well domestic fuel(of course, you should refuel only at network gas stations of decent companies) and pleases with efficiency. By by and large, there is only one minus for a diesel engine - rather noisy operation and noticeable vibration.
Chassis and steering
Firmware and more firmware
One of the significant problems of the Tiguan should be recognized as a kind of work anti-lock braking system brakes: when driving on slippery surfaces ABS excessively releases the wheels, and the subsequent exit on a more tenacious surface, the restoration of full deceleration of the car occurs with a dangerous delay.
It is gratifying that the plant did not ignore the complaints of the owners - the engineers wrote new program ABS controls. From the end of January, any owner of a restyled Tiguan, regardless of whether the deadline has expired or not warranty service, can contact the nearest dealer for this simple and short operation, which will be carried out absolutely free of charge. Perhaps in soon new firmware owners of pre-styling cars, to whom dealers offer this service for a thousand rubles, will also receive it.
Among the sore problems, one can note a creak and even a crunch at low temperatures of the silent blocks of the front levers and bushings of the stabilizers. Moreover, in the latter case, replacing the bushings alone may not be enough - an upgrade of the entire assembly will be required.
Sometimes already at 30,000 km they can give up and wheel bearings, and it’s not worth starting the problem: if they buzz for 2-3 thousand km, then the case may end in jamming. In fairness, it should be noted that this defect is not characteristic of all Tiguans - many owners tend to take the rumble emitted by studded tires for the imminent death of bearings.
Buying?
Well, we still found out that not every Tiguan with mileage is an interesting offer. An expired warranty forces a potential buyer to be much more careful when choosing a power unit, and therefore it is better to bypass a 1.4-liter engine with 150 hp. With. We see the diesel modification as the most justified choice: according to the reviews of the masters, there are already instances on the market with a range of under 250 thousand kilometers, which do not even think of showing signs of imminent death. However, we will not dissuade you from buying Tiguans with two-liter petrol turbo engines They are also very reliable vehicles.

15 thousand replaced rear shock absorbers, 4th generation Haldex coupling was replaced by 39 thousand, air conditioning compressor, roller and evaporator were replaced by 46 thousand. Now the mileage is 47,600 km, a metallic ringing appeared when the car was running on a cold engine, there is a knock when driving through bumps in the front left.
I've owned the car for 2 years with 45,000 miles. 150 hp, turbine + compressor. Impressions are only positive. Enough power with a large margin, the engine is very playful, oil does not eat. When buying, I was afraid that the power of a 1.4 engine for such a car would not be enough - in vain, you don’t feel flawed on the road, on the contrary, you feel a reserve of traction when overtaking, especially in the “kick down” mode - a bullet, not a car. The interior is spacious, the driver's ergonomics are excellent - I drove 1200 km / day - my back did not get tired. Consumption on the highway in the summer at 100 km / h - 7.5 liters, in the city 9.5-10 liters.
Of the minuses: the declared clearance of 200 mm does not correspond to reality, off-road you cling with a silencer and levers rear suspension(I have front-wheel drive). ..full text of the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI review
Review about Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI left: Sergey from the city of Izhevsk
Volkswagen Tiguan has been living in Russia - it doesn’t blow in the mustache - since 2007, having survived restyling in 2011. Buyers in the crossover are attracted German practicality, German quality, as well as comfort and friendliness to the driver. Although it is the last thesis that sometimes does not fully correspond to reality: surprisingly, the Tiguan is quite capable of testing the driver for strength. However, first things first. Several owners help us to compile a medical history different versions"Tiguana" and employees of official dealers, of which the most sociable were the technical specialists of the company "AvtoGanza".
Small resource of silent blocks
“I had a knock for almost a year, I thought the doors were hanging out (very similar). But the OD said that the doors were normal. So, at TO-3 it was strongly said to check what was possible, because the warranty ends. /b of the front levers and replaced under warranty. And, lo and behold, the knock of the "doors" passed. But since there have already been, I think, in 20-30 thousand they will wear out again, "TigSev user wrote on forum.tiguans.ru. If you believe the reviews of the owners, the problem of creaky silent blocks on the Tiguan is a problem, if not ubiquitous, then certainly not unique: there were many replacements under the guarantee, and the rear silent blocks of the front levers especially often suffered.
They blamed everything, as often happens in such cases, with road dirt, which quite easily clogs into silent blocks and provokes unpleasant sounds, along the way, finishing off the silent block itself.
Technical specialists dealer center"AvtoGanza" confirmed that the owners of "Tiguans" really turn to them with a complaint about silent blocks - moreover, they come both on pre-styling models and on updated cars. However, as the dealer emphasizes, the problem does not have a massive character - besides, everything depends very much on operating conditions and mileage. specific car. In this regard, the manufacturer did not make any changes to the design, however, within the framework of warranty period creaky silent blocks change to new ones without any problems.
Small life support bearings
"Directly from the cabin there was a creak when the steering wheel was turned, after reading the forum - I thought the norm, many write about it, they say, a feature of the operation of the power plant. I was in the service with a question about the knock of the support, indicated in the comments "creak when the steering wheel is turned", as a result - replacement left support bearing, the squeak is gone," says breitling on forum.tiguans.ru. The statistics on creaking support bearings on the Tiguan are rather heterogeneous: as a rule, the supporters make themselves felt after 40,000 kilometers, and they die one by one. However, cases of warranty replacement of two bearings at once are known, and at much lower runs.
AutoGanza specialists explain that in general, the situation with thrust bearings is similar to the situation with silent blocks, and it is difficult to collect accurate statistics on the resource of a part due to differences in mileage and operating conditions. However, apparently in this case the problem turned out to be more ambitious: as the officials say, the manufacturer has made changes to the design, and at the moment, upgraded thrust bearings, and as part of the warranty, old parts are replaced with modified counterparts.
Power steering failure
But the owners of Tiguan faced the so-called "red steering wheel" problem with enviable frequency. "The steering wheel is like from KrAZ" - who would have thought that this could be heard about a compact German urban crossover, which is often driven by the fairer sex.
According to technical specialists"Autoganza", the error really turned out to be quite common and was of a software nature. "Failures in the electric power steering occurred often. The "red" steering wheel lights up. There have been and are cases of errors while driving. On pre-styling cars, the problem manifested itself and often manifests itself. There are much fewer requests for restyled ones. The solution to the problem in most cases is to replace the software" , officials say.
How can one not remember in light of this - after all, he also had problems with the electric power steering control unit. But official dealer says that these episodes should not be identified. "The design of the electric power steering on the Polo and Tiguan is different. The Tiguan has a control unit, motor and steering rack is one detail. At Polo Sedan power amplifier built into steering column. The entire structure is located in the passenger compartment and is less susceptible to aggressive external environment, but there were problems with the quality of workmanship and software," AvtoGanza specialists explained.
The “sores” of the Polo and Tiguan EUR control units are united by the fact that in both cases updated software has already been released, which the dealer installs when the owner contacts it.
Won't start in cold weather
Vokswagen Tiguan - clockwork machine, but not in very coldy. A starter that refuses to do its job is not uncommon, and the manufacturer has already found an explanation for this. "Due to low temperatures and high air humidity (fog and/or water splashes), ice forms on the contact pin (inside the starter motor). Relay movements suck/pump moisture through the vents into the starter. Due to the location of the starter directly behind the radiator, it is circulated by cold air and additionally cooled via the copper wire of the B+ pin. For this reason, ice forms on the B+ pin inside the starter relay," the manufacturer's technical bulletin explains.
However, in "AvtoGanza" they note that such incidents with "Tiguans" have recently occurred quite rarely. In addition, the dealer says, last winter was relatively warm, and did not give any particular reason for the starter to freeze. The fact that the problem with the solenoid relay occurs infrequently is also noted in the service bulletin. In this case, in which case the owner can solve the problem on his own. As the technical bulletin prescribes, it is possible to start six times no longer than two seconds in order to melt the ice through the heating of the supply winding, but at the same time not to overload the ignition switch. Then repeat the launch five more times to evaporate the moisture.
Nevertheless, although being rare, such a problem, apparently, continues to be relevant. "Well, now my retractor relay is frozen. Because I recently installed new battery, I decided to "warm up" the relay according to the classical method. It was -26 overboard, but in 34 (!) two-second attempts to start the relay warmed up, and the engine started up with a half-kick. The car stood in the cold for 4 days without moving. I suspect that the formation of ice may have provoked the visit underground parking shopping center- the humidity there is huge, and the temperature is slightly above zero, "says user niksfromru all on the same forum.tiguans.ru.
ABS malfunction
"On ice it slows down like a cow on ... actually, on ice!", - sometimes you could hear from Tiguan owners. It was not uncommon for the car to be jittery when slowing down on slippery surfaces or on rough roads - the ABS not only worked with a delay, but also made the brake pedal behave strangely - it suddenly became tight and almost threw off the driver's leg, trying to return to its place. But inadequate brakes are not the most harmless "sore": hardly anyone wants to play the guessing game "slow down / not slow down."
As a result, the manufacturer actually found a defect in software ABS block, which "infected" cars produced between 2012 and 2014. A corrected firmware was released and a corresponding technical bulletin was issued, which ordered that a software update be carried out if the owner complained of inadequate brake performance. After 2014, according to officials, the correct software is installed on cars, which provides the most efficient and safe work brake system.
Of course, the owners of rival classmates can gloat and stay in complete confidence that they definitely made the right choice and bought the most reliable and hassle-free car. But perfect cars does not exist, and the fact that your favorite model has not yet appeared in this section means only one thing: we just haven’t got to it yet.
