Appreciate the video. Wife's Tiguan is at 60k so I pulled up the maintenance schedule and was planning on getting these done. Turns out for 2019 VWs, these should be done at 80k miles / 6 years instead of 60k.

Thank you for posting this. You saved me hours of head scratching and wrenching trying to figure out how to remove the deck to replace a bent blade. Never occurred to me that I could just pick the front end up by hand and prop it on a step stool.
@dbacksfan67Ай бұрын
The steps were correct. However, never put anti-seize on spark plugs. The vibration from the engine can cause them to come loose. Also never torque down the spark plugs unless the manufacturer requires it. The last thing you want is to remove the threads with the spark plug the next time around.

Need help i bought the ngk ruthenium spark plugs for performance i have them on all my vehicles even thought some of them doesnt come out as compatible like for instance i have a 2022 hyundai tucson 2.5l naturally aspirated and used the refrence number as of a 3.5l v6 and it works perfectly i also have a 2016 audi a3 which i put ruthenium ngks and works like a charm i used the same part number because of the other 2.0l turbo engine in audi to match the 2021 volkswagen tiguan idk what i did wrong but my car shakes when start a little bit then i didnt want to drive it i am scared i messed something up

Love this video. Just tried it for the first time. Everything was great ... except ... my oil filter housing appears to have a slightly different grip pattern. The notches don't line up with the grips, they are shifted about a 1/4 inch from the main fitting. Has anyone else had this problem?

It’s easier to unplug the coils from the harness if you use a pick tool instead of pressing on the clip

I just changed the spark plugs in my daughter's 2018 Tiguan. It would have been really easy but one of the boots got stuck. After spraying it with silicon and pulling, and next spraying it with brake cleaner & pulling it eventually broke off, leaving about 1"+ that I had to dig out. All of the boots were sticky like glue. I scrubbed them with brake cleaner & greased them with dielectric grease. I'm not sure why VW thought the fit needed to be so darned tight?! I found a replacement boot in stock at O'Rielly's for $7. I also found a good price on the spark plugs at Rock Auto. Bosch 8501 for $8.96 each. Now I'm thinking it's also about time to change the transmission fluid & filter. From what I've found so far, it seems like about $200 for parts & 3 quarts of AFT. The Tiguan holds 6 quarts, but only 3 will drain out at a time. So, you'd have to perform multiple drains & refills to replace most of it. (I guess the same guy that designed the tight plug boots helped design the transmission too.) Have you done the transmission yet?

Should have loosened off your oil filter first to allow the oil flow more easily and completely from the engine..

Would you recommend the APR tune? I've always thought my daughter's 2018 Tiguan was a bit sluggish off the line. She's used to it, but it makes me a little nervous when pulling into traffic. Also, do you use fuel system cleaner regularly? I've read that it's important on the DI engines.
@InTheGarageDIY4 ай бұрын
That's the exact reason I got the tune. Sluggish off the line. Always felt like it was in eco mode. It really woke the car up. I run the 87 octane tune now. I did the 91 tune for a while and it was a little more power, but gas prices went up soon after so I put the 87 tune back on. It's not a fast car, but now I don't worry about passing power/highway merging as much. Now separate from the tune there was a recall/TSB on the injector harness that we had fixed under warranty that would sometimes cause misfires/sluggish acceleration. I haven't been running any injector cleaner, but wouldn't be opposed to doing it since DI engines are known for carbon build-up issues.

thanks for the vid. but i believe VW says we should be using 0w30 and correct me if i'm wrong but i think only their OEM oil will keep you from voiding your warranty, even if it has the 507 spec?
@InTheGarageDIY5 ай бұрын
They may have changed the recommendations since 2013. I used the factory Castrol 5w30 507 spec during the warranty period. The day after the warranty was up I deleted the DPF, added the Rawtek Turbo-back exhaust, and did a Malone stage 2 tune lol I wouldn't have a problem running 0w30 though. I've actually still been using the 507 oils even though there is no emissions equipment on the car anymore. I've been considering switching to plain old Rotella T6 5w40 for the better additive package. I did have the oil analyzed by Blackstone for the first 75-80k miles and wear metals were always super low. Engine still runs perfect at 106k miles, no issues with the car at all. Still love it.

cool thanks again for the vid! i only wish I would have watched it before i drained the oil! I would have driven to the store first and picked up a 32 mm socket and a replacement plug bolt :) @@InTheGarageDIY
