Volkswagen Tiguan parts reviews

Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades from Amazon. Never had issue with them on my 16 Tiguan

I use an oil extractor on our 2016 Tiguan, my 2016 A4, and 2023 Arteon. All have done a great job and make an oil change an absolute breeze.

Liquimoly Leichtlauf (Hight Tech) exceeds factory standards, and is designed for VW engines. I’ve been running it for years in our Tiguan with a Mann oil filter. It’s a great oil, our 13’ tiggy runs great and is the only oil I would ever run in an old TSI motor.

My 21' had coolant in the cylinders and was burning oil pretty good up until 40k when they replaced the head gaskets....then it still was burning coolant and oil and they replaced the head two weeks later. Mines at 75k now and no further issues(knock on wood)

last Black Friday, I was able to score Goodyear Reliant tires from Walmart for $85 each for my 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan.

Fix: New heater core. Parts: (for me) -Heater core for me Denso, not Valeo, you must check which your car needs. (PN 3c0819031a) found on Amazon (Spectra Premium 98030) shipped to my door on prime for $62.36. Mine came with the foam, the seals, and new clamps.

The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.

I also have 2017 Tiguan with 160,000 km. Just had mechanic check it as I heard rattling on startup and they recommended replacement.

My front brake rotors warped at ~12K miles. I had them machined and they lasted about another 12k until I replaced them with aftermarket Centric. Those lasted ~12K miles until they warped. At this time I went back to VW OEM rotors and they lasted ~12k miles. I had the OEM's machined, but now they are warped again. Along the way I tried some aftermarket pads, and generally had problems I purchased a pair at NAPA and they were sloppy in the caliper and would shift and click when applying the brakes in reverse. Went back to OEM on the pads and have no problems.

Stop using the Rain-X fluid. It leaves a film/build up on the inside of the reservoir and on the level sensor. You’ll need to pull the sensor and clean it, after that only use the good old blue stuff and you’ll never have the issue again. This happened to me on my 2018 Tiguan and my 2007 Jetta. Rain-X changed the formula for the orange stuff a few years back and that’s when people started having this problem.
