Why doesn’t my Tiguan battery stay charged?

A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my dead Tiguan battery?

How much will replacing my Volkswagen Tiguan’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

Volkswagen Tiguan batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.

How often should I replace my car battery?

A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.

What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Tiguan’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Tiguan, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Tiguan’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I remove corrosion from my Tiguan car battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Tiguan owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
