Volkswagen T-Roc BUYERS GUIDE | All Common Problems EXPOSED

[@franklawson9428]

I've just bought a 2022 1.0 ltr life facelift model with 18k on the clock for my wife. It's a cracking great car & was not underpowered whatsoever with 2 up & 70 ltrs of holiday luggage in the boot. It replaced a 2014 1.2 Skoda Yeti Outdoor SEL.

[@gframe287]

I just handed back my company car back. It was a VW Golf with the 1 litre engine and i drove all over Scotland over 6 years racking up 77000 miles.It had more than enough power and it was smooth and economical. On a long run around 47mpg. I retired a few weeks ago and bought a one litre new shape Captur.Sad to report at 90 bhp it is pretty gutless but engine power aside it is a really nice car.

[@shikiryougi8076]

Thank you for clarifying the difference between the dry and wet clutch DSG variation. I have driven both before and the wet clutch DSG was superb to drive with. That and the 1.5 and 2.0 engines, I specifically drove the 2.0 and it's a dream with the oomph.

[@rejoicerone3176]

We have a 1.6 diesel 2017 Golf with the dry clutch DSG with 82k miles and its been super reliable so far. the gearbox is sealed for life and I asked a VW specialist and VW dealer and they told us not to service the dry clutch as the clutches are dry therefore there is no oil to be contaminated from clutch wear like the wet clutch DSG that needs servicing every 40k miles. Our dry clutch DSG isnt as smooth as the wet clutch DSG but its smooth enough honestly.

[@قرفص]

It will break

[@hangemhigh113]

The 1.0 liter ABSOLUTELY CAN power a car that size, because it is less than 1.3 tons rather than almost 2 tons. The 1.0 liter pre-face model has a 0-60 time of less than 10 seconds, which is more than enough for a commuter SUV.

[@VStrom2019]

I watched 75% of this video and have discounted any thought of buying one. Thanks for the genuine review 👍

[@Naeidea]

The video is common problems to look out for, you could search the same for any make and model and get similar results. Doesn't mean the car is scrap, just means you know a bad one from a good one like every other car.

[@AlanGresham]

Maybe watch the last 30 second too?

[@DavidA-y5g]

Just got the 2 L 4Motion Style and I love it. It’s through Motability so not bothered about the clutch et cetera, as I will get a new one in three years.😏

[@TheKwaze]

Many thanks for a very informative video, with no filler drivel. Water ingress is quite the trend among Golfs too, so presumably VW simply doesn't care about it. I'll certainly be looking elsewhere after seeing your video.

[@JohnStone-b2u]

We have a 2022 1.0 3 cylinder T-Cross and find the car very nippy, reliable and averages around 45 - 50 mpg, the only thing we dont like is the kangarooing in 1st and 2nd gear, maybe a softwear issue?? other than that its a great driving car and have no complaints.

[@andymushlarky7819]

Cheers for the info. 2023 2.0 R Four Motion Auto has 5k on it, thanks in anticipation.

[@johngquinn77]

Yes your right about the engine. I made the mistake of getting 1 lit engine. You need more power to push off in this size car.

[@StephenOverthrow]

A lot of reference to water ingress. VW/AUDI not solved this problem after so many years then. Passat B5.5 and Audi TT leaked like a sieve, through the doors, beneath the battery and ruined the ECU in my Passat which is located in front foot well. Fixed them all myself and got shot of it. Moved over to Mazda 6 estate, totally reliable and loving it. 35 years of VW/AUDI, and won't be going back.

[@BarnickleBarBarkle]

Love the willy drawn onto one of the plastic covers in the hud

[@tml136]

I’ve a t-roc 2019 1.6 se tdi that’s what I got told same face as this one in the vid and gray can’t go wrong with it

[@FactsnotFiction555]

VAG cars 2.0 litres and above generally have wet clutches with oil changes every 40k. Dry units have improved recently but tend to be a bit jerky at low speeds, parking etc.

[@SuperCarGenius]

Love that they put golf r engine in there ❤

[@davidcobb5816]

Have a 2018 1.0 with 32000 miles not had any issues what so ever. Bought this after rejecting a new 1.5 after 500miles and received a full refund due to the kangarooing. Great car.

[@iveky3]

please, can you explain meaning of 'kangarooing' ? is it jumping?

[@davidcobb5816]

@ Hi yes it was jumping whilst pulling away in 1st gear.

[@tommytom4674]

I just ordered new T-Roc today, facelift one. 1.5 TSI EVO DSG R Line, what kind of clutch will it have?

[@eamonregan7471]

Thanks for informative on 2.0 TDI

[@philpope950]

Never seen worn out clutches, judder is to do with a shimming issue not worn out clutches.

[@pepeljara]

T Roc isn't soundpoof inside the cabin around the 100km/h. You can hear the wind and loud as shouldnt be for that price. Just got '23 model 1.5 petrol TSI, Life package.

[@stuartkennedy4202]

Good video. Highlighting the points to look out for.

[@calummiddleyard]

Hi there. Just bought a new 1.5 Troc life, 2WD 4 days ago. 2023 model. Interested to see if i have the wet clutch and timing chain. Thanks😊

[@TheChazas]

It uses dry clutch, a DQ200. Only more powerful and 4WD uses wet DSG, a DQ381 and R model uses DQ500.

[@arjunj7717]

Is 2020 T-ROC sport DSG 1.5 petrol is dry clutch or wet clutch Thanks In Advance

[@roadwarrior8560]

Doesn't sound good letting in water, great video, subbed.

[@davidforster4151]

Hi there, I'm considering a T Roc with 1.5 tsi petrol engine and dsg gearbox. Does it have a wet or dry clutch? Does it have timing belt or chain?

[@VStrom2019]

Following

[@michaelsadler7332]

The guidelines for the belt have changed in line with VAG Europe I think. It’s more like 10 years.

[@garethtalbot8950]

I have 1.6tdi mk7 golf that has" instrument cluster workshop!" Error, VW say it can't be fixed by computer. 1500euro to replace. Instrument cluster specialist told me it's a line of code when battery was dying in car that was written to eeprom chip. Vw said it can't be undone . VW customer support not as good as Toyota's. Ruined trade in value. Great video. I think I'll be switching back to Toyota's as my Golf has less than 70k miles on it.

[@Adam-py7jy]

Great video, thanks. Please could you tell me if either of these models have the dry clutch issue the explained? 2020 | 1.5 TSI EVO SEL DSG Euro 6 (S/S) 5dr - YY69WGE 2021 | 1.5 TSI 150PS EVO SELG DSG - PJ21KCE

[@pascal-jr9ty]

Hi, Great video with lots of information, thank you! I ordered a 1.5 DSG in February 2023 in a Belgian garage. What engine (Evo 1 or Evo 2) will it have. What clutch will it be? Thank you again!

[@Isimud]

They will let you know in the comments 😁

[@pascalmaenhaut]

@@Isimud I recieved an email from VW. They told me there was an Evo1 engine in my car, but in reality it's a Evo 2 and I'm happy about that🙂

[@buddyhen]

I have the kangaroo effect sometimes with my 1.5 troc , it's a 2018 maybe I'll check about a software update at service , however using Tesco 99 octane seems to solve this luckily , so that's my fuel of choice now !

[@donaldarthur-jt4ih]

I have a 70 plate 1.5 r line with less than 7000 miles on the clock. It has already been in the garage to have the front brake discs and pads replaced due to rust. The car is used every day. . I have traded it in and I'm just waiting on the new Honda Civic.

Timing chains are Not bombproof, we change loads of them. Listen for a brief rattle on cold start. Indicates the chain has stretched

[@joemclaughlin995]

The diesel drives better than the petrol model . THANKS

[@RunDave]

I have had software issues with my VW from new. They changed the gateway and updated software , but the problem continues

[@simonowen2744]

Hi Clan, contemplating buying a new 2.0 litre diesel but would love to know if this will have a wet or dry clutch and will it have a timing belt or chain ? Are you able to advise ?

[@rejoicerone3176]

It has a wet clutch and it has a timing belt that should be replaced every 5 years or 60 to 70k miles

[@gordonmcintosh-c8f]

[@shirleywaring8789]

Just bought a 1.5 automatic 18 plate would this be a timing belt or chain I'm in the process of trying to find out if its had a belt change before collecting the car tomorrow

[@gordonrichards9170]

Just watched your review of the VW T Roc. I have 2020 T Roc 1.5L DSG Rline and I am just wondering if it has a wet or dry clutch. Also would you know if it has a timing belt or timing chain. Fortunately other than having to get VW to replace the wiper motor (1 day after purchase from new) I don’t think I have experienced any of the issues you have highlighted 🤞. Gordon

[@ShiftedGaze]

I am planning to buy 2.0 Petrol 4 motion on 124 000km from VW dealership it is returned from a Company this year. What clutch it have and is it worth in this KM behind or it depends how its maintained? The price is like 21k EUR

[@matswillhelmsson4549]

A 2 wheel drive 1,5 automatic dry or weet??

[@alangilby3776]

I have a September 2020 T-Roc R Line 2.0 diesel DSG FWD. Could you confirm if it has a dry or wet clutch and whether it would be a timing chain or belt. Also I have a problem with the brakes frequently making a groaning noise when lightly braking and steering sharp right (such as making a 3 point turn), then pulling away afterwards. The sound seems to come from the rear brakes. The brake pads were changed due to the notorious "mooing" problem but that was around 2 years ago. Are you aware of any T-Roc issues with brake/steering noise ?

[@seanfitzmaurice1]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2021 T-Roc R-Line 2.0TDI with a manual gearbox. Am I right in thinking that's a wet clutch and timing chain ?

[@Mech.E]

Im looking at one so question is the 1.5 150hp R-line 2019 a dry clutch (dq200) or wet clutch? Found some conflicting info. Thanks

Hi! Regarding the dry vs wet clutch, I just bought a used 1.5 TSI EVO SE with a DSG. 2 wheel drive. May I know if it’s a wet or dry clutch?

[@nigelp4328]

FYI, I have a '21 Reg 1.0 L T Roc with 12500 miles and just had new turbo actuator fitted due to corrosion. Probable cause is water drips from the windscreen scuttle on to location. Don't know if you have other reports of this.

[@petersimpson8386]

Hi really good video. Can you tell me if we have a wet or dry clutch and we also have had issues with pulling away with kangaroo ing. My father in law has a 23 plate troc which is very smooth each time you pull away. You mention a software up date is this something vw will do and is it free of charge. Also our vehicle has only covered 7,000 miles. Finally do we have a belt or chain? The vehicle is 1.5 petrol, manual 2019. Many thanks

[@markbrown83]

Thank you - very informative video. I have a t-roc tsi 190 4motion dsg reserved and having a think about it over night. what to you reckon to the engine choice - dry / wet clutch etc? It's the new 2023 face lift model btw.

[@ScottishCarClan]

Wet clutch in that set up Mark - super reliable. You shouldn't have any problems. Enjoy the new car!

[@markbrown83]

@@ScottishCarClan thanks for the reply. I thought it was. Unfortunately, we've decided against the vehicle. I'm going to get something more hardy for trips up to Scotland as I want to get off the main roads a bit for photography. Not sure I can handle putting a £40k brand new car on dirt / snow... which isn't really an offroader.

[@tonyc2837]

I’ve got the 1.5 2019 version. That was kangarooing , software update under warranty sorted it out thankfully. Got a bit of water coming into the lower boot by the spare wheel, not sure where it’s coming in from though.

[@buddyhen]

Check the rubber bung at the top left corner isn't missing , I had the same thing happen to me.

[@samgeorgemclennan]

Water in the boot comes in when you open the tailgate when it's raining. The gap around the tailgate catch in the middle acts like a drain and the water goes straight into the boot giving you a small pool water. Try pouring a little water direct onto the tailgate catch and see what happens. Design fault
