All About 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan Drivetrain Service

Your Tiguan drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Tiguan and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Volkswagen's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Volkswagen Tiguan Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Tiguan might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Volkswagen Tiguan doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.

  •  Can Volkswagen drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged Volkswagen drivetrain system? Your Volkswagen Tiguan drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.
  • When should I come in for Volkswagen Tiguan differential service? Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Tiguan? The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Tiguan can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Can my Tiguan malfunction warning light be reset at home? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Tiguan, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Tiguan to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.
  • How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Tiguan? A drivetrain malfunction in your Tiguan should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.
  • Does my Tiguan transmission belong to the drivetrain system? Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Tiguan. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
