The 4Motion all-wheel drive system refers to the so-called. all-wheel drive systems connected automatically. In this system, engine torque is distributed among the axles depending on the driving situation. The 4Motion system has been installed on Volkswagen vehicles since 1998. The name 4Motion is a registered trademark.
The 4Motion all-wheel drive system includes a front axle differential in the transmission, transfer case, rear axle driveline, multi-plate clutch, final drive and rear axle differential.
When driving at a constant speed, the valve opens and the discs compress depending on the driving conditions. Torque is transmitted to the rear axle within certain (insignificant) limits.
Slipping while the vehicle is moving is determined based on signals from the ABS system control unit. In this case, the valve opens depending on the driving conditions (which axle and which wheels are slipping).
When braking, the control valve is open, the clutch friction discs are completely released. No torque is transmitted to the rear axle.
The Volkswagen Tiguan, assembled in the Russian Federation, is quite popular among car enthusiasts. Good quality, not very high price, comfort and convenience are arguments in favor of purchasing this machine. Another argument: the presence of all-wheel drive. In many cases, because the car is equipped with an all-wheel drive system, people buy it. The drive will be discussed in this article.
How does all-wheel drive work on a Tiguan?
Cars of this model are equipped with an all-wheel drive system called 4Motion, and it is also worth talking about it in order to fully understand the operation of all-wheel drive on a car of the described model.4Motion
This system was developed in the last century and began to be installed on Volkswagen cars in 1998. The torque in such a system is directed to the axles, depending on the driving situation. The connection occurs automatically.The system consists of the following elements:
- front axle differential;
- handout;
- rear drive driveshaft;
- coupling;
- main gear;
- rear axle differential.
What makes work possible?
The front axle differential is designed to direct torque to the front wheels. The differential housing is connected by a shaft to the transfer case. The cardan drive of the rear axle connects the transfer case and the clutch. The cardan transmission itself consists of two shafts and a CV joint; it is connected to the transfer case and friction clutch by several highly elastic couplings.The friction clutch built into the differential housing of the rear axle is a disc clutch. This structure is necessary in order to change the amount of torque transmission. This value depends on how closed the clutch is.
Volkswagen Tiguan cars are equipped with a Haldex coupling, which belongs to the fourth generation of couplings.
It is designed in this way: it is based on two types of disks. The first of them are friction ones, having internal gearing and a hub. The second ones are steel, having external gearing and a drum. The discs are compressed by pistons.
In addition to the discs, the clutch structure includes electronic control elements:
- input sensors;
- Control block;
- actuators.
The actuator is a valve that regulates the compression ratio of the discs.
Clutch operating modes
All 5 modes of operation of the clutch are provided:- When starting to move.
- When starting to move with slipping.
- When moving at a constant speed.
- When driving with slippage.
- When braking.
Thus, the system itself determines, based on information received from electronic devices, when and how much the clutch discs need to be clamped.
All wheel drive does not work on Tiguan
Reasons why it doesn't work four-wheel drive for Tiguan, can be very diverse, from hardware failure to failure of sensors and electronics.For example, if the oil temperature sensor fails, the rear axle will not be connected correctly. The same can happen if incorrect information is received from the engine and ABS blocks.
A common cause of problems with all-wheel drive is wear on the driveshaft outboard bearing. Problems with the booster pump are also recorded.
Unfortunately for the owners of this car, repairs are quite expensive. And we need to prepare for this.
In general, you probably need to look for the reason why the all-wheel drive is not working not on the Internet, but in a car service center. Only the characteristic sores of the car drive are described here, but in each specific case the cause of the malfunction may be different.
Tiguan - four-wheel drive or plug-in
Before examining the issue in more detail, it is worth noting that the Tiguan is sold in two versions: city and off-road. The off-road version even has a towbar, which is hidden under the bottom of the car. With the city Tiguan, in principle, everything is clear: it is designed to transport people and small loads in urban environments. The Tiguan in the off-road version remains the same SUV, but with a certain additional equipment and a set of functions. In particular, it has an Offroad button, which mobilizes all vehicle systems, preparing them to deal with mud, snow, ice and more.As for what kind of drive the Tiguan has, opinions differ. Based on the design of the drive system and the principle of its operation, we can say with confidence that the machine has a full plug-in drive, since the clutch discs are not always clamped. This point of view is confirmed by official documents, which say that the drive is automatically connected. 
The second point of view: the Tiguan has all-wheel drive. Proponents of this point of view argue for their belief that a certain percentage of torque is constantly transmitted to the rear axle. Let this percentage be small. But he is.
It seems that the constant transmission of 5-10 percent of torque to the rear wheels cannot indicate that the car has permanent all-wheel drive. However, this type of drive means something else.
For example, if we consider the domestic SUV Niva, then significant energy is transmitted to absolutely all axles and all wheels. The car is stable on all four tires. Everything is different here.

Despite the growing popularity of automatic transmissions, manual transmissions are still most in demand among Russians. Although a whole generation of people who drive only automatic transmissions has grown up in large cities, many Russian residents are still hesitant to spend money on a more expensive mechanism, in which they are similar to thrifty Europeans. Therefore, our test drive included a manual version of the Volkswagen Tiguan crossover.
In principle, it is more profitable for automakers to sell cars with automatic transmission. They are more difficult to maintain, and concerns earn more from their after-sales service. This is to some extent beneficial for the consumer: if service networks are developed, their services are transparent and affordable, then servicing your car yourself is not so attractive. As a result, if everything is good in the dealer network, then more and more people transfer the care of the technical condition of their cars into the hands of professionals, leaving themselves only with the pleasure of driving. As a result, the difference between servicing automatic and manual transmissions is leveled out. You can, of course, sigh about those blessed times when the driver was a jack of all trades, but driving cars with automatic transmission is really more convenient for many, and learning to drive is greatly simplified. America, for example, drives automatic cars en masse, leaving “mechanics” to lovers of antiques.
They are also trying to direct us along the path of the Americans. And they are busy with this this moment almost all automakers. Concerns are following the path of soft economic coercion. Nowadays, a variety of configurations and engines for “mechanics” is a rare thing.
Volkswagen is no exception here. Moreover, the concern has its own newfangled development of a DSG automatic transmission with two clutch discs, which, according to its creators, should be a death sentence for all existing “mechanics”, “robots” and “automatic machines”. It also needs to be sold, gently but very persistently convincing the consumer that it is better.
Therefore, it is expected that in our market Tiguans with manual transmissions cannot boast of a variety of offers. At the moment, the “handle” for Volkswagen Tiguan will be available in a single version, Trend&Fun. True, it is equipped with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions.
It is curious that the VW Tiguan Track&Field version, more “tailored” for off-road use, comes exclusively with automatic transmission transmission Therefore, the driver who chooses such a car will not only enjoy the benefits of better geometric cross-country ability, but will be forced to buy an automatic transmission. This logic is not very clear to a Russian. Off-road, according to the domestic driver, can be conquered exclusively with manual transmission. However, as practice shows, the Germans know what they are doing when they produce SUVs with automatic transmission. It’s difficult to break the stereotype of Russian off-road enthusiasts, but it’s quite possible - many modern “automatic machines” today really allow a lot, including the notorious “getting started.” But the argument about the impossibility of driving “in the swing” without harm to the car is one of the last strongholds of apologists for “mechanics” off-road.
But the version of the Volkswagen Tiguan we tested doesn't even have all-wheel drive. This is a front-wheel drive city car, and not in the most expensive configuration. Why put such a car on the market? Isn't it easier to install an automatic transmission and target young and active city dwellers who have long forgotten about the third pedal under their feet? Apparently, the appearance of “mechanics” in this particular configuration is due to price considerations. The resulting car has a fairly attractive price for cars of this class. This allows Volkswagen to compete for the attention of Russian buyers who are eyeing inexpensive crossovers made in China and Russia. The emphasis here is on traditional German quality and reasonable price, which is a serious bid in the fight against Chinese companies, whose products do not have the best reputation in terms of reliability.
In principle, the appearance on the market of single-wheel drive vehicles with high clearance in Russia is justified. Unlike prosperous “Europes”, where crossovers are often not in demand (minivans and station wagons are much more popular there), in Russia cars with high ground clearance are only gaining popularity. Roads made using Avtodor's innovative pothole technologies, broken yards, suddenly high curbs and winter potholes due to unremoved snow and ice - these are the true reasons why Russians love crossovers.
Ground clearance of 20 cm, which hasTiguan is a definite plus for him. Although the joy from the high ground clearance is somewhat overshadowed by the rather low front overhang, which provides only 18 degrees of approach angle (for more expensive trim levels it is 28 degrees, which is much more advantageous). However, this bumper shape improves the aerodynamic characteristics of the car, which should reduce fuel consumption and improve the car's stability on the road, thereby making the car more attractive to city dwellers.
At the rear, all Tiguans, regardless of configuration, have the same overhang with an approach angle of 25 degrees.
But the lack of all-wheel drive in the test Volkswagen Tiguan is twofold. Undoubtedly, this seriously reduces the off-road performance of the car, but it also reduces fuel consumption. Therefore, if the bulk of trips are in the city with its regular traffic jams, efficiency begins to play an important role when choosing a car.
The opinion that all-wheel drive is a panacea for all ills during winter is exaggerated. Single-wheel drive cars, all other things being equal, often exhibit more predictable behavior, especially in critical situations. Getting a four-wheel drive car out of a skid is much more difficult. That is why all-wheel drive vehicles today are packed with various technologies designed to ensure driving safety.
So the front-wheel drive crossover has a right to exist. This is a completely adequate response to our road builders and officials. The laws of the market dictate their own rules here: automakers who want to get our money are much more concerned about our comfort than those who are entitled to it due to their status and the responsibilities assigned to them.
Driving Volkswagen Tiguan
So, how does the test front-wheel drive Volkswagen Tiguan behave on the road? This is an easy to drive car with a sporty character and elastic suspension. A comfortable steering wheel with reach and height adjustment fits comfortably in your hand. The Tiguan is a pleasure to drive.
You shouldn't expect sedate behavior from the Tiguan: this car is designed to drive dynamically. Fortunately, the motor is not overly powerful, so fines will not regularly empty the wallet of its owner. Within the limits of the speeds allowed in Russia, the dynamism of the Tiguan will delight the soul both in the city and on the highway - the car has a truly light and playful disposition. But you don’t need to expect any special achievements on German autobahns - ordinary 122 hp. will not let you feel the joy of racing achievements.
Comfortable smoothness, softness and silence should also not be expected from the Tiguan. Interior sound insulation is average, and the very firm suspension can feel shaky. But the Tiguan stands perfectly on the road - you just want to rev it up once again. As a result, the older generation of drivers and passengers may irritate the car with its temper, while the younger generation will truly enjoy the ride.
But the manual transmission takes some getting used to. It all starts with the actual movement of the lever, and ends with the moments of switching. Fortunately, Tiguan helps the driver by prompting the desired gear number on the dashboard display. This makes it much easier to master the intricacies of machine control. But here’s what’s interesting: usually a manual transmission allows for much more dynamic control than an automatic transmission. In the case of the Tiguan, this number will not work: the maximum that can be achieved is to match the dynamics with the DSG gearbox. In this case, there will be much more fuss on the “mechanics”.
To reduce fuel consumption, the manual Tiguan is equipped with a Start-Stop system that turns off the ignition during stops. The impression from the operation of this system is strange: the jerking of the car in traffic jams is annoying and unnerving, so in a dense traffic jam you have to learn to press the brake pedal correctly so that it does not work. If on cars with an automatic transmission such behavior of the car makes you nervous only at first, then on a manual transmission it really gets annoying and confuses you. As a result, in most cases in traffic jams, I simply turned off this system - fortunately, this can be done by lightly pressing a button on the instrument panel.
But what requires praise is the light - it’s good in the Volkswagen Tiguan. His headlights are with warm light. They perfectly illuminate the road, they grab the side of the road well, and the absence of a sharp edge of light ensures comfort during long driving at night. During maneuvers, the headlights illuminate the direction of the turn, which is very convenient at night in Moscow courtyards.
LightVolkswagenThe Tiguan is not only practical, but also aesthetically pleasing. The latest generation of Tiguans can be easily distinguished from the previous one by their recognizable rear marker lights. In addition, the Tiguan boasts welcome lighting - lights under the mirrors illuminate the space near the front doors, which is very convenient in bad weather.
In general, the car is well prepared for the difficult Russian climate and roads. There are headlight washers, heated windshield washer nozzles, and heated mirrors. True, the mirrors can be heated at temperatures below 20C, so during a summer downpour it is impossible to dry the drops, which is somewhat annoying - large “burdocks” in a downpour are quickly covered with drops of water, and all the charm of great visibility comes to naught.
The organization of the interior space of the Volkswagen Tiguan is harmonious, and the interesting air duct system allows you to flexibly regulate the temperature in the cabin.
Surprisingly, the Tiguan's seats were not the height of perfection. Although there are enough settings to create a comfortable seating position, the minimum seat height turned out to be too high for short drivers - the hard edge of the seat cuts into the legs.
The interior lighting and dashboard lighting of the Volkswagen Tiguan are pleasing to the eye and aesthetically pleasing. Soft warm red illumination of secondary functions and pale moonlight illumination of the main functions is pleasant for both the driver and passengers.
The standard Tiguan dashboard is informative and easy to read. Buttons for controlling additional functions are also standard and convenient.
Volkswagen Tiguan boasts good musical preparation. A very good radio that easily picks up Moscow radio stations outside the Moscow region. Four speakers provide high-quality pleasant sound. The multimedia system has an AUX output and supports Bluetooth, but does not have a USB output. For some reason, the VAG concern categorically does not like this format of communication in its cars, stubbornly singling out iPhone owners as a separate caste.
The Tiguan has an enviable selection of various glove compartments, pockets and cup holders, which is very convenient on the road.
ConnectorAUX inVolkswagenThe Tiguan is located in the glove compartment along with the cigarette lighter. The glove compartment lid is well thought out - when closed, it does not cut through wires if mobile devices are located outside. But what is unusual is the electronic hand brake.
Lots of attention inVolkswagenTiguan pays attention to the organization of the rear space. Flexible seat folding system, additional dividers, central armrest, folding tables. Everything for a comfortable trip and luggage transportation.
The Tiguan boasts a spacious trunk with a wide, flat loading niche and good lighting.
But under the floor cover there is a traditional and not very practical in our conditions “dokatka”. However, judging by the height of the sides, you can try to install a full-fledged wheel. But for some money. As a consolation prize - a floor cover position lock and convenient niches for tools and small items.
Despite its environmentally friendly BlueMotion technology, start-stop system and regenerative braking, the small turbocharged engine of the Volkswagen Tiguan reacts very strongly to driving style. Although it allows you to drive very dynamically, as well as show very decent behavior at speeds, the price for this is fuel consumption. Indulging in the character of the car, sporty dynamic driving - this is almost two liters of fuel per 100 km.
When the car was taken for a test drive, the average fuel consumption, according to the computer, exceeded 10 liters per 100 km. Quite quickly we managed to bring the consumption up to 7.9 l/100 km, and after several tens of kilometers of quiet driving we reached 7.2 l/100 km. But in the combined cycle there is no need to expect these figures - fuel consumption will be about 8 liters. But in a traffic jam, consumption begins to increase: after half an hour of standing, consumption increased to 8.6 l / 100 km.
Another half hour in traffic jam, and by the time of refueling the fuel consumption was already quite unsportsmanlike 9.2 liters per 100 km. So, in contrast to the pleasant moderation in fuel consumption outside the city, in urban conditions the front-wheel driveVolkswagenTiguan cannot boast of super-outstanding efficiency.
Summary
Volkswagen Tiguan has a perky character. This is a car for young and energetic people. The Tiguan is easy and pleasant to drive, and its high ground clearance allows you to feel comfortable on any road.
Good maneuverability and visibility, a fairly wide and harmonious set of additional functions - all this makes travel easy and comfortable. But you shouldn’t expect a sedate and smooth ride from the car - this is an energetic car with a rigid, elastic suspension.
The lack of all-wheel drive in urban conditions will not affect driving comfort, but will reduce fuel consumption. Well, yes, you’ll have to be a little more careful when driving to your dacha in winter and in the off-season, but you won’t have to learn the intricacies of driving an all-wheel drive.
But choosing a manual gearbox will save money, but will not allow you to achieve greater dynamism than its counterparts with a DSG gearbox.
VolkswagenTiguan is the choice of the young and energetic.

Many owners of this model, and not only this one, but also other vehicles with all-wheel drive, periodically encounter this problem. To do this, it is not at all necessary to encounter difficult road conditions; failure can occur even in a simple harmless situation. All-wheel drive can be connected, it is designated as AWD, and permanent. Plug-in all-wheel drive differs from permanent all-wheel drive; it completely lacks a central differential.
This design provides for the transfer of most of the power to the driving wheels, in this model the front wheels, and only when the need arises, the drive to the rear wheels is automatically engaged. For this, even a slight slip of the drive wheels is enough.
Drive does not work
This phenomenon causes a lot of problems for owners, so let’s try to understand a little possible reasons refusals. There are plenty of reasons, they can start from a simple breakdown of some drive part, to failures of control sensors or electrical equipment. So, as an example, a malfunction of the oil temperature sensor in the box can be cited; turning on the drive will no longer be correct.
Similar problems can occur if there are malfunctions in the operation of control devices on the power unit, the elimination of which restores its normal operation. Modern cars are equipped with anti-lock brake systems. If its sensors incorrectly read readings from the rotating wheels, this will inevitably cause failures in connecting the all-wheel drive. Problems with the drive were noted when the outboard bearing in the propeller shaft failed.
What else should you pay attention to?
Experts have noticed that most problems arise with the hydraulic and electrical parts of this unit. The electrics in this system are serviced by control devices, in the form of various sensors and actuators. The main burden of the performance of this system lies on the hydraulics, which turn on the mechanism.
The rear axle has a differential housing, into which a disc friction clutch is built. This car model is equipped with a Haldex coupling, which is one of the company's latest developments. This product is very critical to the cleanliness of the working parts of the clutch and transmission oil in the system. The presence of impurities in the lubricant can cause the injection pump to fail. Therefore, for trouble-free operation of this system, all routine maintenance must be observed and performed.
The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact car with high ground clearance. This car is needed for those who appreciate German quality and for those who want to forget that they are driving a crossover. What do you need to know before you buy a Volkswagen Tiguan? Don't worry, we will tell you everything you want to know about this car as part of the new section "".
Volkswagen is believed to be selling the Tiguan as a top-of-the-range version of the VW Golf GTI. But, despite some obvious similarities in equipment (including the presence of a 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which is installed on the charged Golf GTI), this is not the case. In terms of positioning, these are two completely different cars, although the Tiguan is based on the Golf platform.
For example, those who buy a Volkswagen Golf GTI are most often young people who want a drive on weekends after hard working days at universities, institutes, etc.
If you don't want a low compact Golf, don't want to buy a Ford or any other non-German car, and can't afford a Lexus, then you should consider the Tiguan crossover.
Another comparison example between the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Golf GTI. We all know that the GTI is one of the best in its class. Tiguan no. Yes, undoubtedly, this crossover is a high-quality and comfortable car with all-wheel drive, but it is not as fast, it is more expensive, and it is not as efficient as the legendary VW Golf GTI.
People buy crossovers and SUVs, just like compact A and B class cars, guided by the same wishes, preferences, etc.
Those who want to buy a crossover think about reliability, safety and fuel economy. Most compact car buyers think the same thing. passenger cars. Unfortunately, .
For example, the Track&Field version, which is equipped with a 2.0 TSI 125 engine with 170 hp. and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the 4Motion automatic consumes 13.5 liters per 100 km in the city, 7.7 l/100 km on the highway, and 9.9 l/100 km in the combined cycle.
Agree, such values for a compact crossover, which is based on the VW Golf and has a 2.0 liter power unit, are too unmodern. Taking into account modern standards of efficiency, if you buy this car, you will pay significantly more at each gas station compared to the owners of competing crossovers. Even the 1.4 liter 122-horsepower version of the Tiguan does not have amazing fuel consumption (city 8.3, highway 5.5, combined cycle 6.5).
Therefore, some Tiguan owners often joke that there is a carburetor under the hood of their car.
What's new in the 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan?
The Tiguan crossover has been in production since 2007. In 2011, the car received a restyling. In 2014, the German brand added a sports line of crossovers "R-Line". , releasing the second generation Tiguan. The debut of the car is scheduled for September 15, 2015.
From the very beginning, the car was produced with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The car is equipped with 1.4 TSI petrol engines with a power of 122 and 150 hp. , turbocharged 2.0 TSI with 170 and 200 hp. And diesel engine 2.0 TDI with 140 hp Power units are paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic transmission.
It is worth noting that the new Tiguan R-Line series, which was introduced in 2014, is equipped with an automatic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission 7-DSG 4Motion.
It is noteworthy that from 2015, Volkswagen intends to equip the new Tiguan model (for some car markets, the German brand will continue to supply crossovers with a six-speed manual transmission).

Which version of Volkswagen Tiguan to buy
Of course, first of all, it all depends on your wallet size and personal preferences. First, before purchasing, decide whether the power of the car is important to you and whether you need all-wheel drive, which will not help you even on light off-road conditions. If the main thing for you is fuel consumption, then feel free to buy the 122-horsepower version in the basic configuration, which will delight you with its acceptable efficiency. But you shouldn’t expect anything amazing from this modification.
If power is important to you, but you don’t have the funds to buy the R-Line modification, then buy the 170-horsepower version of the crossover with a 2.0-liter turbo engine. But keep in mind that, despite not very much power, be prepared to spend a lot of money on gasoline.
