My turbo system on my 2013 Tiguan is throwing a P0299 code and the turbo assembly needs to be replaced. Such a catastrophic failure should not occur in a car with this few miles on it. Very disappointing.

Fortunately MY turbocharger “went bad” after 48k miles so it was under warranty. My brothers (the reason I bought a Tiguan in the first place) went at 70k. That’s 100% fail rate for tiguans in our family. Not what I will be buying next unless there are VERY good and clear responses and solutions.
