Sucessfully swapped in a cbea from a 09 Jetta into a 11 tiguan, it's been a while in the works but shes on the road! It was surprisingly easier than I thought, but definitely had and still have some little wrinkles to iron out just figured you guys would enjoy hearing about it

I actually kept the gas trans, just customized the flex plate. Might end up converting to fwd if that's the only reasonable way to get the right hearing because the donor car came with a dsg

How was the wiring swap, that was the worst for me?
But mine was 09 into 06

How much did you have to pay for the Tiguan?

We already had the tiguan and it had a chain tensioner fail so my boss saw it as a sign to swap in a tdi. The wiring was intimidating especially because diagrams are hard to come by but it actually went quite smooth
