New engine 1.4 TSI 150. There is a pair of pick-up, but for the year I never regretted my choice

Mallorca is the first big test drive Skoda Kodiaqwhere journalists from different countries were invited. Representatives of the portal AUTO.cz did not miss the opportunity to check the crossover with an engine 1.4 TSI with a capacity of 150 "horses" - the weakest of all that are available to order in the Czech market. We are in a rush to introduce you with the impressions that the car made on them.

Skoda Kodiaq, not having time to appear on the market, has already become a real celebrity. Any news about him - from the appearance of the first prototypes and spy photos to official premiere and advertisements price lists in different countries - Be sure to go into the top of automotive publications and collects a lot of comments. And everyone who interested did not give rest one question: so how does the codiac go? And now the long-awaited moment has come - Skoda invited journalists to experience serial versions of the crossover with different motors.

If you were waiting for Skoda to decide to demonstrate challenges His "bear" in the town of Kodiak's town of the same name in Alaska, then you were mistaken - for the first tests was chosen much warmer and friendly Spanish Mallorca. Although in the conditions of the southern island, it is not so easy to experience off-road quality machines, but you can find out how it will behave in the usual habitat - on ordinary roads. There were already a lot of appearance and interior of the car, so this time focus on the description of the driving impressions.

The first to test Kodiaq in the color of Lava Blue with 1,4-liter gasoline engine TSI with a capacity of 150. horse power, full-wheel drive and 6-speed DSG. This is the most lowest motor for the Czech market, but in some countries a 125-strong power unit will also be presented.

Kodiak with a basic engine due to its price will certainly be in demand. But the question arises: Will there be enough power in 150 "horses" for such a giant? And here we are waiting for good news - the crossover with a 1.4-liter motor behaves on the road quite well. Of course, it does not drive on it and do not make risky overtaking in the last moment, but for a relaxing ride with the family of this engine is quite enough.

We liked the combination of a double-grip gearbox with 6 speeds. DSG works fast and smoothly and only when moving from a third transfer to the fourth twitching. At a speed of about 50 km / h, the gearbox sometimes medletes with switching. With an increase in the DSG driving pace, it lowers the transmission so that the car is enough power.

But there are bad news. The all-wheel drive version of Kodiak with DSG-6 weighs 1625 kg, which cannot but affect the consumption of fuel. The average consumption during the tests on the track was 10 liters per 100 kilometers of the way. Tests on the highway and winding mountain roads increased this figure for another 2 liters. And when driving in a mixed rhythm "Bear" ate about 8 liters. From the engine with a start-stop and recovery of energy during braking, we expected a more modest appetite.

The Skoda Kodiaq light finish is available in the style of Style.

Skoda cars are often criticized for insufficient sound insulation. In the case of KodiaQ, we were pleasantly surprised - in the cabin it turned out very quiet even despite the strong wind blowing outside the window. Of course, here you need to take into account the quality of the roads in Mallorca - there are no special problems with them on the island. But with those obstacles that came across on the way, the crossover with 18-inch wheels and the adaptive suspension coped to perfectly, and, both on standard and in sports settings. The crossover motor sounds very gently and does not interfere at all.

In 2007, engineers of German automotive company Volkswagen. on the basis of hatchback Volkswagen Golf. It was designed principal new car - VW Tiguan. Thanks to the impeccable reputation of the progenitor, the SUV in a short period of time won universal recognition. True, according to the results of 2014, Tiguan lost two first positions on the pedestal of popularity to their competitors Honda CR-V And Toyota RAV4. Already in 2015, the manufacturer announces the start of the production of the second generation of the SUV. The exclusive novelty was able to breed the market segment.

Today the car is collected not only in Germany, but also in Russia, in the city of Kaluga. The German company has increased its power potential on the domestic car market, thereby heated additional interest in the SUV russian buyer. Before purchasing an expensive car, it is advisable not only to get acquainted with its operational properties, but also by the indicators of reliability and durability. Next, we define what is the actual engine resource on Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4, 2.0.

A variety of motor line

Volkswagen Tiguan motor gamma represents turbocharged power units with a working volume of 1.4 and 2.0 liters. Engine 1.4 TSI with a capacity of 122 and 150 hp Also installed on. Gasoline engines are excellent beautiful technical characteristics and a large enough resource. As practice shows, power plants from the VW Tiguan line are capable of passing 300 or more than thousands of km. Motor 2.0 TSI is made of a cast iron block of cylinders and an aluminum head.

There are several modifications that differ in its rated capacity - 170 and 200 horsepower. Also the buyer is available to choose a diesel equivalent. Cardinal structural differences between engines do not detect. The difference lies in the fact that the 170-strong version is functioning due to the BorgWarner KO3 turbine, and KO4 is installed on a more powerful analogue.

Some design features of VW Tiguan motors:

• Degree of compression 10.5;
• Number of valves - 16;
• The presence of a DOHC / belt;
• Ecological class corresponding to the norms of Euro-5.

The first generation of "Tiguan" was equipped with a 6-speed hydromechanical machine, and the subsequent generation had acquired a 7-speed DSG robot. The transmission of the SUV is known not only high-quality assembly, but also silent work. At the stage of overclocking the car, engine operation is muted, and on the cruise velocity only noise published by tires.

How many "walks" the engine on Volkswagen Tiguan

In order to understand what the actual motor resource on Volkswagen Tiguan, it is necessary to figure out more in more detail. constructive features. The bulk of the owners of modification with a 1.4-liter motor complains to the designs of the designers in the strength of the piston group. In particular the piston itself, which is due to excessive loads and high temperatures It fails prematurely. The first problems with this constructive element power aggregate May occur at the turn of 100 thousand km. Also at this stage, it is advisable to follow the state of the timing chain. Turbodiesel 2.0 TDI instead of the chain has a belt. Over the state of the TRV drive must be monitored in the most thorough way. The breakdown of this element leads to unpleasant consequences - the valve bent. As you know, repair and maintenance of German SUVs - the pleasure is not cheap.

When passing the first 150,000 km observed increased flow Oils - It is necessary to replace the oil-changing rings or valves. Diesel 2.0-liter engines benefit in terms of actual resource petrol analogs. But it is worth saying that problems with the pump in some cases cannot be avoided. The reason for this becomes low-quality fuel. Professionals recommend constantly follow the status of the pusher fuel pumpIt is best to carry out a comprehensive diagnostics after every 20-30 thousand km.

Total Next: 1.4-liter petrol motor able to pass about 300 thousand kilometers of the path, provided that regular maintenance. Diesel analog to the first overhaul There are over 350,000 km.

Review of owners about the resource of the power unit

Both turbomotors are qualitative and reliable, differ in high speed characteristics, but extremely demanding on the quality of fuel refilling and motor oilSensitive to the coolant. For all three components, it is necessary to closely, otherwise they will have to be invested in expensive repair of the car. We now turn directly to the reviews. vOLKSWAGEN Owners Tiguan, experienced way determined the duration of the ill-work of the main power unit of the car.

Engine 1.4.

1. Mikhail, Voronezh. It remained unhappy with the acquisition of a representative of the German car industry with a 1.4-liter engine. The motor does not cope at all with his tasks, Volkswagen Golf with the same engine was several times in beyrea. Plus to everything dubious build quality and a very funny resource. I have Tiguan 2010 and for all this time in repair invested the amount of the equivalent cost of the car. From constant detonations on the pistons break the edges under the rings. Very demanding on the quality of the fuel car.
2. Maxim, Yalta. The SUV as a whole was satisfied, but there is one big but. 1.4 TSI engine frankly speaking too weak and unreliable. For such a Mahina, a minimum is needed 1.6 liters and not 150 hp In the morning the car has to start as our AvtoVAZ. I refuel at LUKOIL AI-95, as recommended by the manufacturer. The chain is simply terrible, flew, without passing 80 thousand km. The engine is constantly gluch on traffic lights, at any time he could start tall. In general, I sold this car and began to sleep well.
3. Stanislav, Vladivostok. I go to Volkswagen Tiguan since 2009. When 110 thousand miles came up to the mark, problems with chain began. I quickly replaced, no longer had no breakdown. For the year behind the wheel of an SUV - only positive impressions. Those who love to put pressure on the gay from the start, this car is definitely not suitable. With such a mass and power, the circuit flies at times.
4. Egor, Moscow. Driving from 2015. Screw during this time 70 thousand km. Guarantees changed the thermostat, and the crack was formed in intake manifold. With the launch during the frost there are no problems, the suspension of the highest level. Motor resource 1.4 TSI is too dependent on the quality of gasoline. Any unsuccessful refueling can turn into trouble. Too late I was opened by the mystery - the aluminum unit and the plasma spraying "live" with our combustible 100 thousand km.

Power unit volume of 1.4 liters of good in its characteristics. However, too depend on the quality of fuel filled, maintenance of maintenance and many others external factors. Not the most successful development of German engineers, which is confirmed by the reviews of the former and current owners of Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4.

Engine 2.0.

1. Nikolai. Urengoy. Since 2008, exploiting the German SUV with diesel engine. When passed, 170,000 km decided to replace the timing belt with rollers and pomp. Now the car starts even better even at -30. On the notes of drivers: diesel win in terms of resource at a gasoline analogue under the same operating conditions and equal working volume.
2. Sergey. Moscow. During the choice of VW Tiguan, paid great attention to the quality of the engine. After reviewing a large amount of information, it came to the conclusion that the 2.0-liter motor resource is significantly higher, which is less voluminous analogs. In practice, everything was confirmed - the chain for the first 200 thousand km does not submit any signals. The main thing is to refuel on proven gas stations and use certified oil.
3. Alexey, St. Petersburg. I have a car 2017, diesel 2.0. Before buying, communicated with competent people on the reliability of Tiguan's motors. People said the chain resource is about 300 thousand km, that is, almost to the first capitals. The turbine passes even more, made everything on high level. Much depends on the quality of the consumables themselves and planned service Auto.
4. Matvey. Cheboksary. Ask the experienced owner of VW Tiguan, which modification of reliable, it will answer you - two-liter. I myself personally saw the car past more than 300 thousand. The resource depends on the driving style, the first 200 thousand km in general pass without any problems with adequate driving.

Many car owners agreed in a single opinion that the 2-liter power point It is more reliable and resistant to unfavorable operating conditions. Numerous studies also confirm the fact that in practice the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 engine resource is more than 300 thousand kilometers.

Hello everyone! I finally acquired new car. And after the week of operation I want to write your feedback, maybe someone will help to decide on the choice.

I'll tell you immediately, I wanted a high car to not be afraid of the borders, and to feel confident on the primer, and do not be baptized in front of the next pit or tram paths.

Prior to that, I went to Sandero - I would not agree to the car below, I would like to be slightly higher and, of course, more powerful, but at the same time, without fanaticism (no "in the thresholds in the mud", etc.) in accordance with the voiced criteria, Sedany and Hatchback did not even consider, I was looking for a crossover immediately.

For a long time, it was tormented by a choice - take a new or used, but in the end I decided that this time I want to be the first owner and not worry about what was done with the car before.

Initially, as the most budget crossoversThe capture and a car with full drive and in good configuration were considered. But the closer the day of buying a car was approached, the more I understood that these cars - a compromise, which would begin to strain the maximum in a year.

In general, I will not describe all my doubts for a long time, but as a result I went to the VW salon to find out what discounts are on Tiguan in the old body. As it turned out, all budget tyguan in the old body was dismantled back in January.

The manager said that you could safely take front-wheel drive For 1.1 million, and now there are 1,6+ million cars. However, immediately advised to pay attention to new Volkswagen Tiguan II, saying that until the end of April, they just have a good discount.

Driving on a test drive, I realized that I fell in love with this car. And although the test drive was the maximum equipment with a 2.0 engine (gasoline) and a full drive, using the experience of Others seventh golf with a turbocharged engine only 1.2! I knew that even such a volume ensures the remarkable dynamics of overclocking, while being in a measure economical.

In general, after a visit to the car dealership, I firmly thought about buying this car And started reading forums, reviews and other available sources. Very embarrassed reviews about the reliability of the DSG box, however, most complaints were to dry DSG-7. Claims were less to engines, and I am going to go for 15-20 thousand km. per year, so the reliability of the turbine worried me to a lesser extent.

In general, already deciding on the purchase, I decided to ride the main competitors that I viewed: RAV4, Tucson and Sportage. He started from Toyota and after test drive, I realized that the car was completely not mine.

The poor quality of the material of the cabin and their assemblies (strong backlae of the central console, the slots between the upholstery and the plastic thresholds, seals, etc.), the strange work of the variator in the gym, which squealed as an electric train.

At the same time (or because of this), the special dynamics of overclocking was not felt, dubious noise insulation - all this was not suitable for me. It may be a car and erupt 300,000 km run, but for me it would be honeymaking kilometers, and I am not so much.

Then there was Tusson. I can not say anything bad, but also very good too. The machine is very good, but some kind of average. It seems everything is in place, the machine behaves better than the variator, but at the same time I don't want to say "Wow, like cool." At the end I drove in salon Kia.I sat down in Sportage and did not even want to test drive - I really didn't like landing in the car.

Having lifted the seat to the maximum and overlooking the ceiling (with my height in 184 cm it is already strange), I did not understand where the hood ends with the car. Yes, and quite narrow windows and strongly oblique windshield created a sense of driving "in a tank".

In general, once again, having passed on Tiguana test drive, I realized that in addition to doubt in the reliability of the car after 100,000 km. Mileage, to make face in it and nothing. I liked everything really - the work of the suspension, engine, boxes, very good quality Salon, comfortable chairs, armrest, moderately conservative, but convenient dashboard.

Well, then everything is simple - chose from the party coming machines suitable for the price: ComfortLine equipment (average), with an automatic box, engine 1.4 and front-wheel drive. Machines without additional. Options packages have already been dismantled, it remained only with two packages - the media and electric drive of the trunk doors.

If I chose, I would choose just these packages, so the machine came just perfect. Thanks to the Avtuir manager, as they bought the second car in the cabin and in the April action made a very good discount.

For the price of 1.75 million configurator, taking into account the discount on the trad-in car I got exactly for 1.5 million. Additionally bought mats (7 000r) and mud flaps (unfortunately, as much as 14 000 r), protective net in the bumper (4 500 p) I made a gift.

Impression

At the moment, drove 600 km, of which 250 on the highway. Impressions are just wonderful.

1. The dynamics of overclocking is simply wonderful, it is felt both on the highway at the speed of more than 100 km / h and when starting from the traffic light.

2. New Tiguan wonderfully passes deep pits, borders, etc., the suspension works absolutely silently.

3. In the fresh or just good asphalt of the wheel noise is not heard perfectly, the car seems to be soam.

4. Box DSG Works with a bang, switching is absolutely invisible, no hint of jerk. If you do not hear a slight drop in engine speed, it seems that the speed does not switch at all.

5. three-zone climate, AutoHold system, rear-view camera - all this makes ride so comfortable that I don't want to leave the car.

6. Wonderful shown 4 additional sensors Parking, located on the sides of the machine on the front and rear bumper. Thanks to them, there are no dead zones at all, which makes addictive to the dimensions of the car very comfortable.

7. The drive door electric drive is very convenient, although it does not know how to open on the movement of the leg, as in Ford Cuga. But in the absence of invincible access, this option is not particularly needed.

8. Handling, especially in turns, simply shakes - the car does not roll, wonderfully feels the steering wheel. Again, it is not necessary to turn around on a two-way road.

In general, this is from the main one. Indicate the disadvantages, especially after the experience of Sandero, the language does not turn, but for the objectivity of the review still try.

1. On the old asphalt, the noise of the wheels and the operation of the suspension on small irregularities (cracks, poppipes, etc.) is very heard. But then the miracles wait and not worth it, and you can always make noise insulation arches.

2. The parking lot system is absolutely useless, although quite fun. After a 5-minute parking ride at a speed of 7 km / h, he found me a place and parked. At the same time missed places 50, although they were all marked. A couple of times tried to offer parallel parking across two parking spaces. But, in fact, about this manager spoke immediately.

3. Sometimes, especially when driving up the mountain, the box will go round increased speed (about 1,500 revolutions), which is why the illusion of lack of power is created. It is necessary to switch to lowered submissive petals (which are very convenient), or enhance the gas pedal so that the box itself moves to the low.

4. On a dirt road or small bodies, the stiffness of the suspension also affects and each bodie is felt in the chair, if you try to quickly drive through a bumpy primer - the driver throws the seat, but after the passage of the bodie does not swing the machine.

In principle, with such a confident passing of turns of the opposite, it was stupid to expect. On Sandero, the kokes were held much softer, but at the same time the car began to rock, and when turning turns, the car is terribly cringe.

I did not find more flaws, though I tried. As for the flow: on the highway, the average about 8 liters, about 10 in the city.

Outcome

As a result: New Volkswagen Tiguan 2 is very pleased - I never regret what I bought it. I hope that there will be no problems in further operation. So far, impressions, both from the salon and from the car, exceptionally positive.

The choice of cars was not easy. Long gathered with thoughts about the DSG and the Turbomotor. Initially considered to buy korean car industry. I was captured by a 5 year warranty, atmospheric engines (similar power) and verified automatic boxes Transmissions. I watched Cretu, Kia Sports, Mazda CX-5, I didn't look closely to Tiguana at all. But, one day everything has changed! For the sake of interest, I drove into one of the car dealerships to see him, and, sowing to the salon, I realized that it was mine!

If briefly, these are subjective sensations:

1) In Tiguan, it is most convenient for me, driving like that for sure. In Kia, I, no matter how sat, still restrained the knee in the steering column. In Tiguan sat like this.

2) Tactile sensations are correct, so nice in it.

3) Tiguan rides somehow easier rivals.

And then the flour of the choice of the force aggregate began. Originally was configured to diesel, with the same 150 power, torque torque. But here he was confused by overpayment. In addition, diesel in my understanding is right decision For large route runs, which in my operation is not so much. Soon I realized that about 200+ thousands for diesel would pay off for a long time, and I don't need it. So the choice fell on 1,4-liter gasoline 150 liters. from. For a relaxing movement with his family, it is enough. On the highways with protracted lifts and overtakers, I do not drive, the main trips are in Ryazan on M5. Route is smooth, wide.

During the year and 18,000 km, I never regretted my choice, the car never failed.

During this time, the oil in the engine was replaced three times: when running 5700 km (Dealersky Shell), 10,000 km (Motul Specific 502.00 admission) and 16000 km (Shell, bought independently). Worse Machine From this will not. Air and cabin filters were also replaced by 10 thousand km.

Gasoline consumption on the highway from 6 liters depending on traffic and manner of driving. In general, not particularly smart, especially with family on board. But the car accelerates confidently and 150 forces quite grabs, in order not to feel flawed.

There are a couple of minuses, it's rather harvesters to the car, but you need to note:

1) very annoying how plastic mantle is made at the base windshield. As a scoop, which is going to all dirt and foliage falling from the trees. Not critical of course, but once I have already cleaned the garbage under this lining. Since I didn't want to disassemble the entirely, I simply got off and held the spouse with my miniature hand from there everything was poured, including small particles of the crown of trees;

2) The second minus to the continuation of the first, this is what brushes cannot bend from the glass outside the service position. Somehow not very convenient. Though for the past cold season and taught himself to leave them vertically;

3) Sometimes, when starting it on a cold, a little trembling a car, how it warms everything disappears;

5) in winter, when the auto and inclusion of heating is started, I hear the increased load on the generator and (sort of like) some tapping. He asked against the colleagues and owners of the same engine, many also.

On my salon, I nor my wife have no complaints, spacious enough. Especially considering the fact that when traveling to the rep. Belarus had to sit behind two children's car seats.

Last cold season in Moscow very worried four-wheel drive (although I used to do it normally). After heavy snowfall, the public utilities were in no hurry to clean the courtyard and parking the car or leave the parking lot through the snowboard created by the tractor on a monolarity would be more difficult. Although here I first a little squirting, lowered it or cleared the shovel, so as not to damage the car.

How dry outcome:

1) average flow BC gasoline (confirmed by checks with gas stations) 7.6-8.7 liters (depends on the frequency of country trips);

2) The oil does not care, the amount does not decrease from replacement to replacement (well, or simply does not have time). I try to check the level once a week, before it did it more often, but I realized that in this case such a vigilance is excessive;

3) I am satisfied with the machine, I have enough of it.

All smooth roads!

Motor 1.4 TSI with an EA211 index nine times received a prestigious European Award "Engine of the Year", but Tiguan with it is that a bottle of wine. A drink from the famous winery, medals on a label a lot, and anyway - until you dig up, do not try. Is 150 "mares" not enough?

Tiguan rides! It is not so cravored as a 2.0-liter 180-strong, but still. And even in eagerly responds to pressing the gas pedal. Material street races such a dynamic will be alien, but a person who does not in a hurry, her more than enough. In the reaction at the reaction, it is expected to be extended, and the presets DSG, as an experienced sommelier, offers time the necessary transfers, so that ride was delicious.

The motor is almost not heard. Several decibels removed new engine supports that reduce vibrations. And the suspension is rigid, so all the little things of the asphalt are felt. On the road with longitudinal ruts, it is stronger squeezing the steering wheel, as Tiguan begins to be nervous. Shames and on the primer, which is not "combing" a grader for a long time. But with a large ughab, the car copes well.

Works with preload and instantly connects rear wheelsAs soon as the electronics flaunt down the "legs".

In the off-road mode "Snow" I easily drove through the forest primer, not yet angry after the rain, although the protector road tires quickly closed.

Aftertaste? This 150-strong Tiguan did not become revelation. Soboto fragrance german car I did not disappear, and the fuel appetite struck: in a mixed mode (city, the track plus a little primer) consumption was 7.5 liters per hundred. Efficiency and install in the main advantages of Downsayzing Tiguana.

The 150-strong crossover begins with 1,659,000 rubles. It is quite an appetizing proposal, and judging by demand, it has already tasted buyers.
