Fuel economy and CO2 change on my Volkswagen Tiguan
Posted on | September 9, 2010 | Comments Off
Fuel is a fortune these days, so when the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDi 16v (138bhp) Match 4WD Station Wagon 5dr 1968cc Diesel Manual has slightly changed figures, I always blog about it, because my customers say they care.
Sometimes you must resign yourself to fact that dealer will look after a retail customer first. Your delivery might be slightly delayed because they are fussing over a damn retail customer (paying £1000′s more than you), and you have to learn to relax. Most times these delays never happen, but sometimes they do, so I’m just preparing your brain and giving you tip.
My customers agree to adhere to a fixed mileage allowance (usually 10,000, 15,000 or 20,000 miles per annum) and they are charged for "excess" miles. This means they are far more aware of the costs involved in unneccessary journeys in their new cars. To a certain extent, my customers will consider "is my journey really neccessary?" and "would it be cheaper to do this long trip on the train?".
Failure to show fuel consumption labels on new cars on display, or to make available to potential buyers the results of the fuel consumption tests as listed in this booklet, render dealers liable on conviction to a fine of up to £5,000. The same penalty exists for anyone who does not include all the appropriate test results in promotional literature. Trading Standards enforce point of sale information and should be contacted if you have concerns in this area. The Vehicle Certification Agency enforce the provision of information in advertising and promotional literature.
For this brand new Volkswagen Tiguan Diesel Manual, the latest CO2 figure is just 164g/km. When I chose this trim, it was because I have a few of these available. Different trims will have different CO2. Click on the “fridge label” to get a enviroment label to print for this car. The combined cycle economy for this Volkswagen Tiguan is now 44mpg
The Volkswagen Tiguan falls into the
G band overall.
My Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDi 16v (138bhp) Match 4WD Station Wagon 5dr 1968cc Diesel Manual gearbox is only £295.79 inc VAT per month with 3 months initial payment, followed by 23 payments on direct debit. Business customers, make sure you deduct the VAT, when making decisions. As I can’t tell what type of customer you are (business or private), I can’t display the price any other way but to show VAT seperately (sorry!).
This price on my Volkswagen Tiguan includes full road tax for the length of the contract, on all of my cars and vans! Free delivery to your home or work and free collection from you at the end! £295.79 inc VAT per month is based on you driving 10,000 miles per annum, but higher mileages are usually available at a small extra cost. If you go over the allocated miles, you can pay a small excess mileage charge, usually between 3p and 15p per mile.
Remember I won the best non-franchise environmentalist 2008 in the Automotive Industry Awards.

Here’s a patronising tip from the government: “
Lose weight – don’t carry unnecessary weight, remove roof racks when not in use.”
