PRODUCT DETAILS
Which Motor Oil for the Volkswagen Tiguan?
The 1.4 TSI requires a fully synthetic oil approved to VW 502 00 / 504 00. If your car consumes oil, 5W50 is recommended; if it does not, 5W30. Both are offered in the kit as Brava Extreme 9000 fully synthetic.
Volkswagen Tiguan Oil Capacity
- Engine: 1.4 TSI
- Oil capacity: ~4.0 L (may vary by engine code)
- Kit: 4 L Extreme 9000 + A980 NanoComplex 300 ml
Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI Oil Burning and Oil Consumption Problem
The 1.4 TSI turbocharged petrol engine of the Volkswagen Tiguan — especially between 2008-2018 (1st generation Tiguan 1.4 TSI) — is known for oil burning caused by piston ring wear. The 140/160 hp EA111 twincharger generation is particularly chronic; many Tiguan owners report consumption of up to 1 litre per 1,000 km. Volkswagen acknowledged the issue and ran a piston ring campaign on some engines.
Oil Burning Prevention Kit for the Volkswagen Tiguan
- Tiguan that consumes oil → 4 L Brava Extreme 9000 5W50 + A980 NanoComplex — a thicker film that noticeably reduces consumption.
- No consumption / protection → 4 L Brava Extreme 9000 5W30 (VW 502/504) + A980 NanoComplex.
How Does A980 NanoComplex Reduce Oil Consumption?
It strengthens the oil film and reduces leakage around the piston rings, cuts oil passage into the combustion chamber and noticeably reduces consumption, while protecting the engine.
Other Common Problems of the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI
Besides oil burning, these are the known chronic problems of the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI engine:
- Timing chain tensioner: Especially on the EA111 generation the tensioner weakens, the chain can jump and cause severe engine damage. Symptom: a rattling / clattering noise from the chain side on cold start, similar to a diesel. It must be renewed mechanically at an authorised service centre; the correct, clean oil preserves the life of the tensioner and chain.
- Carbon (soot) build-up: Because of direct injection, carbon builds up on the intake valves, causing power loss and rough idle. Regular injector / fuel system cleaning and clean combustion reduce this.
- Water pump / thermostat: Leaks can occur on the 1.4 TSI; the cooling system should be checked.
Note: This kit targets the oil side of the Volkswagen Tiguan (consumption + protection); mechanical work such as the chain tensioner is a job for a service centre.
Volkswagen Tiguan Oil Burning Symptoms
- Blue/grey smoke from the exhaust
- Frequent oil top-ups, oil level warning
- Level drop on long journeys
- Oil-fouled spark plugs, rough idle
Complete Maintenance and Additive Recommendation for the Volkswagen Tiguan

Frequently Asked Questions
At how many km does the Volkswagen Tiguan start burning oil?
On 1.4 TSI Tiguan models consumption usually becomes noticeable after 60,000-120,000 km; on the 140/160 hp EA111 it can appear earlier.
Which oil does the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI use?
A fully synthetic oil approved to VW 502/504; 5W50 if it consumes oil, 5W30 if it does not. The kit contains Brava Extreme 9000 (5W50/5W30) + A980.
What is the oil capacity of the Volkswagen Tiguan?
Approximately 4 litres (varies by engine code); the kit contains 4 litres.
What does a chain tensioner noise on the Volkswagen Tiguan indicate?
A chain rattle when cold indicates a weak tensioner; have it checked at an authorised service centre before the chain jumps. The correct oil preserves chain life.
Will this kit stop oil burning on the Volkswagen Tiguan?
A980 plus the correct viscosity noticeably reduces consumption; unless there is severe piston ring damage, most cars come close to normal.
