Have you had any problems with the car?
I have a Tigyuan 2007 reg (57) Sport TDI Auto.10.000 miles. At 7700 miles I had to have a new a "new "Tiptronic gear box fitted to solve a fault of the car jumping violently gears for no reason. Problem fixed but it started to happen again @ 9800 miles. Plus a whining noise coming from the back end of the car when started from cold ... the back Haldex axle has been replaced but that has not solved the fault .. the gear box is still jumping in and out of gears. If replaced this will be the second one I have had done in under 10.000 miles ... Car has been off the road for 10 Days while they go backwards and forwards trying to isolate the cause of the fault . A new gear box cost £3500 and the back axle £1900. Thank God for the warranty.
