Volkswagen Tiguan Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Volkswagen Tiguan?

When you own your car, you will need to have your vehicle serviced periodically so that your car stays in prime working condition. Volkswagen Tiguan service intervals differ among Tiguan models based on the trim level of the Tiguan that you drive and the model year. Since the optimal Volkswagen Tiguan maintenance schedule varies among vehicles, you should refer to the owner's manual for your car to get the most precise service schedule. Service for the Tiguan starts at 15,000 and progresses to 90,000 miles.

15,000-Mile Service

Your Volkswagen Tiguan will first be due for service at 15,000 miles. The Tiguan will have its engine oil changed at this point, and it will probably have a new engine filter installed. The braking system will be checked as well. This includes an inspection of the brake pads, including the pads' thickness, in the front and rear brakes. The condition of the car's brake discs will also be inspected. The Tiguan will get an exterior check of its external safety components, including the lights and the windshield wipers.

30,000-Mile Service

The Volkswagen Tiguan will be due for more service when it reaches 30,000 miles. The battery will be inspected at 30,000 miles, and the brake fluid levels are checked as well. The coolant fluid gets checked to ensure there is enough coolant fluid and that its quality is sufficient. The engine and its related components are reviewed, along with the transmission and driveshaft boots. The exterior lights are inspected, along with the turn signals, hazards, and cornering lights. If your car has headlight washers, they will be checked at this point.

60,000-Mile Service

At 60,000 miles, your Tiguan will need another round of services. The dust and pollen filters are changed at this mileage checkpoint, and the spark plugs are also replaced. The brakes will be examined for damage and leaks. A mechanic will look at the Tiguan's exterior to check for corrosion. The exhaust system will be inspected for leaks and wear, and the ball joints, axles, and wheel bearing will have a general inspection. The ribbed belt gets checked at this time, and the windshield is inspected for damage.

90,000-Mile Service

When your Tiguan reaches 90,000 miles, it will have another oil change. The transmission fluid will be replaced. The air filter element may get replaced, and the underbody will be inspected for damage. The exhaust system is inspected as well, and the car may get new spark plugs.
