I have searched for the holy grail with little success..
The ideal - a VW tiguan.
Space in the foot well, steering wheel lifts high, seat goes back the furthest I have ever known,seats very comfy. Less whistles and bells than the QQ though.
Cracked it then?.....Nnnnooooo.
Car wow sent me details but all new vehicles but had to be ordered. Not in stock. Delivery date quoted between 3 and 4 months. Hey my biological clock is ticking and very nearly at midnight as it is!!!!
So I sat down yesterday and trawled through 190 Tigs shown available for a nearly new ,manual, petrol VW Tig, reverse camera/warning.
Result - unbelieveable only 2 petrol. Both new and 30K+ . Not a big enough wallet !!!
Wow..........Rest all diesel. Likewise Seat Ateca which is I understand is on the same VW platform.
So......... to consider diesel but fearful of the dreaded DPF. Majority of my journies are low mileage, shopping and at the whim of SHMBO etc so chance of a filter block high IMHO. But I am told that if I take it for a twenty mile burn up every week/ten days I should be alright.
I again turn to the knowledgeable ones on this forum for help in asking for their advice as to if I would be OK and go for a diesel Tig.
Is there awarning light of an impending block up?
Any body else with a diesel and low mileage and have solved the problem.?
I await with baited breath
Thanks in anticipation.
