With a budget of up to 2 million rubles, you can buy a second-generation Tiguan that is 6-8 years old and has a mileage of about 100,000 km. The choice is limited to a 125-horsepower CZCA 1.4 engine paired with a manual transmission and a CZDA 1.4 (150 hp) engine with a “robot”.
Both engines are relatively reliable, but they are designed for the AI-98; according to Zinoviev, the 95 is not very suitable for them. Due to direct injection, there is a tendency for carbon deposits to build up, which causes the oil to burn. “A complex and non-repairable module consisting of two thermostats and a water pump often fails, but the engine is okay to live with, although after 100,000 kilometers some decarbonization efforts will be necessary,” Zinoviev says.
The “robot” DQ250 with “wet” clutches is strong, but often gives up on short runs, in addition to the clutches, it can fly the expensive dual-mass flywheel;
Previously, RG talked about engines that can travel half a million kilometers without problems.
