Volkswagen Car Problems and Maintenance: What You Need to Know
Despite its performance, Volkswagen cars can present some specific problems. One of the most critical points is related to the cylinder head, where the timing belt and tensioner need to be replaced after 120.000 km or about four and a half years. This procedure, although simple, can cost more than R$2.000.
Another problem affecting the VW T-Cross 1.4 TSI is the water pump, which can fail due to a problem with the gasket. This part should be checked regularly, especially together with the Poly-V belt.
The Volkswagen T-Cross' TSI engines are also known to respond well to electronic remapping, which can increase power. However, this practice can reduce the lifespan of the engine and transmission, and is only recommended for those who understand the risks involved.
The suspension also deserves attention, especially the bushings, stops and tie rods that connect the stabilizer bar to the front suspension trays. At the rear, it is important to check the integrity of the axle. The sunroof, common in the more complete versions, does not usually present infiltration problems, but the system's operation must be checked to avoid noise.
Market Options and Popularity of Used Volkswagen SUV
The used Volkswagen T-Cross has been gaining ground in the pre-owned market, especially due to the value for money it offers.
The six-speed manual transmission version, for example, was offered in the 2020 and 2021 models, allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,5 seconds and economy of 13,8 km/l in the city and 17,1 km/l on the highway. This version is a great choice for those who like to change gears and seek a more active driving experience.
The used VW T-Cross 1.4 TSI is an attractive alternative for those looking for an efficient compact SUV with excellent autonomy and high technology. In the used market, the Volkswagen T-Cross stands out for its resale value and the offer of well-equipped models, which makes it a solid option for families and for those who need a spacious and reliable vehicle.
This value of R$85 thousand is only for the old model, because the new one (2025 model) costs around R$170 thousand cash!!!
I don't think even the old 1.4 does.
Exactly... For 85k you can't even find Sense 2019
Used gentlemen…used…
Look for a used Tcross at that price and show me and I'll buy it.
80 k
Show proof of purchase later lol

The article makes it clear that it is a used model. But then again, it shouldn't be easy to find a 1.4 for this price, even an old one.
Despite not knowing the value of a used one, the report specifically talks about them, the used one, at no point does it mention the Okm.
This is not so clear, the initial even less so and leads the reader to believe the price and read the article.
Bunch of ****!
They may only have mentioned the used one, it makes no sense for you to see an article with that value, then go and check that the car costs around 50 thousand more.
170K CASH YOU ARE CRAZY
A CAR FULL OF PROBLEMS!!!!!!
What problems?
Voth all this
I agree, not even the heavy model costs that much, it's around 120.000, cash
To tell the truth, I still don't understand why car prices have gone up so much since the pandemic. First, it was a lack of chips, which is now normal, then the cost of inflation, which didn't go up 100%. Unless we are really being exploited or our cars are priced in dollars. Let's consider a Toyota COROLLA, which in the US is a poor man's car, but here it is a car for the very upper middle class. In Brazil, the rich only buy BMW, MERCEDES, LAND ROVER, JAGUAR, FERRARI, ASTON MARTIN, LIMOUSINE, PORSHE, MANSERATTI and others above 1 million. The upper middle class buys poor American cars. COROLLA, JEEP, CHERRY (WHICH IF YOU'RE INTENT, THEY GIVE AWAY FOR FREE), Brazilian Volkswagens are outdated and expensive. And now, for the poor, they have created the portable sardine car that barely fits four children, because teenagers who are 1,80m to 1,90m tall have their arms and legs unthinkable. The Gol, the Celta, the Uno, among others that had decent space were expelled from the market. I forgot about the NISSAN VERSA **** but decent, priced and with good mechanics, that's why NISSAN is in trouble, it only makes bad choices, Volkswagen is not even mentioned because in Germany it is a popular or police car. And so we continue living, saving fortunes to buy bad cars that are less and less qualified. We consumers should go on strike on buying cars for 3 years and let's see who goes bankrupt first. Oh, I forgot that there was another justification, it was THE COST OF BRAZIL, which counted taxes, bureaucracy, corruption, difficulty of transportation, etc. THEY NEVER CONVINCED ME, AS THEY ALSO HAVEN'T CONVINCED ME TO THIS DAY BECAUSE BRAZIL ONLY HAS ROAD TRANSPORTATION, WE HAVE RIVERS, SEA AND A PLACE FOR RAILWAYS WHICH IS MUCH SMALLER AND CHEAPER THAN CONSTRUCTING ROADS. .BUT SOMEONE PROFITS FROM THIS, RIGHT? IT'S ONLY US WHO NEVER HAVE OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS ARM WRESTLING. AND SO WE CONTINUE IN A LINE ACCEPTING EVERYTHING AND COVETING THE ABSURD.
The owner of the article is ****
Say that in the range of 85.000
Just look at the FIPE website, there is no mistake.
It really is an excellent car, but good consumption is not even close to that. 8 km in the city with gasoline, 5 km with ethanol, 13 on the highway with gasoline.
Look at the reporter intern’s face…you can trust him…
Exactly, I have a 2022 and it doesn't go beyond 13km/l on the highway with gasoline.
My compass does 12 km/l on the highway weighing 1,6 tons lol
Because you must have brick feet... I do 10 to 15 in my quiet city... I live in Brasilia
Come live in SP and see if he does this in his day to day life here with the unbearable traffic that is here in SP. I have one that doesn't go over 7.5 km/l on gasoline, and on ethanol it does even less.
They're forgetting that **** put 35% alcohol in gasoline. He used to do it, but now he doesn't anymore.
I have a TSI 200 2024, it never gives this average and I also paid 130k
My compass does 7,5 km/l in the city weighing 1,6 tons lol
Car And that thing Used for 3/4 years, get rid of it Because it comes with a bushing lol
The article could have something in the headline that identifies the car as used.
