Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Tiguan

The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan SE is a relatively difficult vehicle to maintain, but shouldn’t be too hard for those experienced in vehicle maintenance. You will have to remove a large panel from under the vehicle for reliable access to the oil drain plug. This will require you to contend with gravity as you complete. Changing the engine air filter is difficult to do, as you will have to remove torx bolts for access. The tools necessary may not be readily available for a repair. You will have to complete special steps in order to raise the front wiper blade. Other models do not require these steps for raising your blade.

Some things are easier on the 2011 Volkswagen TIguan SE. Changing the headlight with reliability is no problem, as you only have to reach behind the housing for access to the assembly. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level on a regular basis.
