2013 Volkswagen Tiguan Questions & Answers

  • How much can my Volkswagen tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Tiguan towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Tiguan's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 Tiguan’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Volkswagen's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Volkswagen Tiguan leak transmission fluid? Yes. Volkswagen Tiguan transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
