The Tiguan L is equipped with a total of three engines, which are the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, the low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The model of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is EA211, and the model of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is EA888. The composition of the engine model is as follows: 1. Front part: includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or enterprise code, which can be selected by the manufacturer as needed and represented by corresponding letters, but must be approved and filed by the industry standard standardization unit. 2. Middle part: consists of the cylinder number symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol, and cylinder diameter symbol. 3. Rear part: consists of the structural feature symbol and usage feature symbol. 4. Tail part: distinguishing symbol. When it is necessary to distinguish between products in the same series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer can choose an appropriate symbol to represent it, and the rear part and tail part can be separated by a "-".

I've driven the new Tiguan L a few times and am quite familiar with its engines. There are typically three models: the 1.4L TSI turbocharged version with about 150 horsepower is great for city commuting and very fuel-efficient; the 1.5L TSI also has around 150 horsepower but is optimized for better fuel efficiency and is more eco-friendly; the 2.0L TSI comes in low and high power versions, with 180 or 220 horsepower, making highway overtaking exhilarating though slightly thirstier. Each model caters to different needs—small displacement is sufficient for daily use, while larger displacement is more thrilling for long trips. Volkswagen has designed it thoughtfully; the engine options may not be numerous but are well-crafted. I recommend test-driving to feel the differences when purchasing. Maintenance-wise, these engines are reliable, and regular servicing should keep them running smoothly.

In our car club discussions about the Tiguan L, engine options always come up. The standard versions usually come with three engine choices: 1.4T, 1.5T, and 2.0T. Last year, I upgraded to the 1.5T model and found it smooth, responsive, and quiet. Compared to my friend's 2.0T, the acceleration is noticeably faster, but the fuel consumption is higher in city driving. These options cover the spectrum from economy to performance, all showcasing Volkswagen's tuning expertise. I think while the engine options aren't numerous, they are sufficient. When buying a new car, I recommend matching the engine to your needs rather than just focusing on displacement. For long-distance driving, the 2.0T is a better choice, while the 1.4T or 1.5T is more economical for daily commutes. The maintenance costs are roughly the same, which is quite convenient.

From repair experience, there are three mainstream engine models for the Tiguan L: 1.4TSI, 1.5TSI, and 2.0TSI. Most owners I've encountered use these. The 1.4T and 1.5T are commonly found in mid-range models, offering fuel efficiency, easy repairs, and readily available parts. The 2.0T is used in high-end models for stronger performance but with slightly higher maintenance costs. The model selection is limited, but Volkswagen engines are reliable with low failure rates and long maintenance intervals, saving costs. Regular users don't need to worry too much; just change the oil regularly and check the wiring. The engine core is durable, with different displacements catering to various driving habits.

Can the location of a driver's license be changed?

Driver's license can be changed to a different location. Materials required for the change: You need to bring your ID card, driver's license, and three one-inch color photos with a white background to the local vehicle management office to complete the transfer procedure for an out-of-town driver's license. For non-local residents, a residence permit is required, provided that the driver's license is in a normal state. Relevant regulations: Article 58 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates that if a motor vehicle driver's household registration is moved out of the jurisdiction of the original vehicle management office, they should apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of the new location. If a motor vehicle driver resides outside the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office that issued the license, they can apply for a replacement license at the vehicle management office of their place of residence. When applying, they must fill out an application form, submit the motor vehicle driver's identity proof and motor vehicle driver's license, and declare their physical condition.

Is it useful to turn on AC when using car heater?

Heating only utilizes the internal heat circulation of the car and does not require activating the compressor. Therefore, to use the heater, you only need to adjust the air conditioning button and should never touch the AC switch. The function of the AC button: The AC button in a car controls the switch of the air conditioning compressor. The working principle of the air conditioning compressor is to compress and drive the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, so generally, there is no need to turn on the AC button when using the heater. Therefore, the idea that many car owners have about needing to turn on the AC button when using the heater is incorrect. The impact of using the heater on fuel consumption: The principles of heating and cooling are actually quite different. The heater relies on the heat dissipation from the engine. There is a small fan in the engine compartment that blows the heat collected by the cooling system into the car. If the heater is not turned on, this heat will be discharged outside the car, so using the heater in winter does not consume fuel.

What are the differences between Bosch Aerotwin and Flat Wiper?

Bosch Aerotwin and Flat Wiper have significant differences. Bosch Aerotwin: Aerotwin uses European imported materials assembled domestically, featuring multiple patented technologies and having won several international awards. It belongs to the U-type wiper category. The traditional frame wiper converts a single force point at the wiper arm connection into multiple force points on the wiper through a two-stage bracket transmission. This evenly distributes the downward pressure from the wiper arm across the wiper blade. The multiple pressure points on the wiper blade act on the internal steel strips, which then distribute the force more evenly to the rubber blade. It uses a U-type universal connector. Link: Bosch Automotive Parts Official Website - Wiper Blades. Flat Wiper: Flat Wiper is domestically produced and cost-effective. It belongs to the frameless wiper category. By using thicker, wider, and more elastic steel, this frameless wiper eliminates the need for the frame structure used in traditional wipers to distribute force. Instead, it directly applies force to the steel strip, effectively dispersing the concentrated force at a single point. This allows for the removal of the frame while maintaining even force distribution on the rubber blade. It features a side-lock interface. The wiper connector is directly inserted into the wiper arm and secured by a locking block.

What does the ABS warning light on the car mean?

When the ABS warning light appears on the car, it indicates a malfunction in the Anti-lock Braking System, which is an active safety feature built upon conventional braking mechanisms. The ABS prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking, maintaining a rolling-and-sliding state of the wheels to enhance tire-to-ground friction. By regulating hydraulic pressure in the wheel brake cylinders, ABS ensures wheels don't lock during hard stops, preserving directional stability under emergency braking conditions.

Can I continue driving if the ESP warning light is on?

You should not continue driving if the ESP warning light is on, as it poses certain safety hazards. It is recommended to inspect and repair the issue immediately. The ESP system is the electronic stability program, which plays a crucial role in vehicle stability and safety. It is related to the ABS system, and a malfunction in the ESP system may also affect the ABS system. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, allowing the driver to both slow down the vehicle and maintain control over its trajectory to avoid obstacles.
