| Description of the problem | 2013 volkswagen tiguan. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle engine problems. *smd the consumer stated the fixed point of the engine's dust cover had a fracture. Reason: the thickness of the fixed point was too thin. Oil was burning in the combustion chamber, which was a continuous process when the vehicle was being driven, due to the oil separator which had a serious design flaw. Oil leaked out from the end cover for the camshaft, because the fixed bolts were not enough and not sealed. The idle speed was not stable and the electronic control system had a fault. |
