What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Volkswagen?

If the coolant light illuminates on your dashboard, your engine could be overheating. Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Volkswagen recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
