Theoretically, as long as spare parts are available, it can last over a million kilometers. However, 15 years after a model is discontinued, spare parts are no longer produced or supplied. This is why many classic cars are well-maintained but end up being scrapped due to the unavailability of parts. Below is some relevant information about the Tiguan: 1. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the body are 4506mm, 1809mm, and 1685mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. 2. Powertrain: The Tiguan L is equipped with a 2.0TSI high-power engine, with a maximum power of 162 kW and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

My own Tiguan has already clocked 150,000 kilometers and still runs as steady as new. This car has impressive longevity—with proper maintenance, it can easily reach 200,000 to 250,000 kilometers. I've even seen forum owners sharing examples hitting 300,000 km. The key is sticking to regular oil and filter changes without skipping, plus inspecting brake pads and tire wear every six months or 10,000 km. Driving habits matter too: I always remind myself to avoid aggressive acceleration to reduce engine strain. Also, never ignore minor issues, like checking the computer promptly if the engine light comes on. Driving conditions count as well—replace spark plugs earlier in stop-and-go city traffic to prevent carbon buildup. In short, treat it well, and it’ll stay with you for years.

As a seasoned mechanic with years of experience, I believe the Tiguan can easily surpass 200,000 kilometers. From a technical perspective, Volkswagen engines are built to last, especially the diesel versions which are even more durable, but at high mileage, pay attention to the cooling system and turbocharger components. I recommend an oil change every 15,000 kilometers and checking for any suspension looseness to prevent premature chassis aging. In actual repairs, common issues after 150,000 kilometers are electronic component failures or belt wear, but these can be fixed with minor repairs. Remember regular maintenance like transmission fluid changes—this car can go 250,000 kilometers without breaking a sweat. The key is not to wait for major problems to act; prevention is always better than cure.

I'm a car enthusiast who loves comparing various SUVs. The Tiguan is just as durable as the Toyota RAV4. From what I've learned, it can typically last 200,000 to 220,000 kilometers, and with proper maintenance, many owners report exceeding 300,000 kilometers. The powertrain is crucial—using full synthetic oil for the TSI engine can extend its lifespan. Personally, I enjoy tracking mileage and have found that inspecting brake discs and shock absorbers every 50,000 kilometers helps prevent surprises. When chatting with friends, many mentioned that 10-year-old Tiguans remain reliable. By the way, driving habits make a big difference—smooth driving with minimal hard braking is more important than anything else.

What is the fuel consumption of the Ford Fiesta?

Ford Fiesta has a fuel consumption of 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers when driving in urban areas. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Road conditions determine the fuel consumption of a car. According to expert estimates, driving in urban conditions increases fuel consumption by 20% compared to driving on a test track. The biggest factors affecting fuel consumption in city driving are frequent starts, stops, gear changes, acceleration, and deceleration caused by traffic congestion. Driving on roads with poor surface conditions will also increase fuel consumption. How to calculate fuel consumption: First, open the fuel consumption calculator on your computer, then enter the amount of fuel used in gallons to calculate.

Should You Signal First or Shift Gears First When Exiting Parallel Parking?

When exiting a parallel parking space, you should shift gears first and then turn on the turn signal. Additional Information: Parallel parking is part of the driving test (Subject 2). It is becoming increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in regular parking lots become more scarce. Many places have designated parking spaces along the sides of streets, known as "parallel parking spaces." Deduction criteria for parallel parking: If the vehicle stops outside the designated lines after parking, 100 points are deducted; if the wheels touch or press against the lane boundary lines while moving, 10 points are deducted; if the vehicle is not parked within the designated space, 100 points are deducted; if the left turn signal is not turned on when starting, 10 points are deducted; if the vehicle stops midway, 100 points are deducted.

What should I do if I mixed 92 and 95 gasoline once?

Occasional mixing of 92 and 95 gasoline is acceptable, but long-term mixing should be avoided. The differences between 92 and 95 gasoline: The octane ratings differ, leading to varying anti-knock indices. Higher-grade gasoline provides better anti-knock performance. Effects of long-term gasoline mixing: Prolonged use of mixed gasoline grades will affect the lifespan of the vehicle's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, potentially advancing the need for major repairs. Strictly speaking, 92 and 95 gasoline shouldn't be mixed, but since their chemical compositions are relatively similar with strong anti-knock properties, occasional mixing usually doesn't cause significant issues. After short-term mixing, special vehicle maintenance generally isn't required. However, it's recommended that owners use the specified gasoline grade whenever possible. Using 95 gasoline in a car designed for 92 usually causes no problems, but the reverse may lead to engine damage. Using lower-grade gasoline may cause engine knocking, and in severe cases, can result in bent valves or damaged valve covers.
