Very good and clear and straightforward teaching videos. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you so as to learn how to DIY at home to do maintenance or repair VW Tiguan.
Best video on Tiguan oil change and indicator reset. First time changing oil on my Tiguan. Is as easy as my Jetta and my son's BMW.Watched other videos to reset oil light and they did not work. This was so simple and worked the first time.😀👍
Thank you so much for this video! I was able to follow the same steps and change my engine oil. One thing is that it is better to buy a drain plug removal tool to remove the plug. Last year I used a flat screwdriver to remove it. However, I used the same flat screwdriver but the plug got stuck right before the final click point. I tried hard but only damaged the slotted part so the flat screwdriver couldn't use the slot anymore. Luckily, after doing some research online, an auto parts store had the drain plug removal tool ($13.99 plus tax) I needed, and is a 10-minute walk from where I live. With that removal tool, it was so easy to get the plug clicked firmly. I highly recommend people get the tool and follow the video. Thanks again!
Nate always does an amazing tutorial, and I love how you guys sectioned off each segment! Great job guys. If you guys get an opportunity, I'd love to see and oil change on a 3.6L VR6. Just bought myself a Passat GT.
I’ve been waiting for this video. For a while my dealer was still honoring their 74.99 oil change coupons for the new 508 spec oil changes. Being that, that was about what I could buy the oil for. I think someone got in trouble for doing that because now these oil changes are over $100. It’s now worth doing them myself.
Definitely worth doing yourself Matthew, plus if you buy the kit through us you have free oil changes (minus what it costs you to ship your old oil back to us) for the life of the car!
Why are oil changes and the specific oil so darn much? I just had my Honda done with full synthetic 0W-20 with a coupon for $40! I'm thinking of buying a 2022 Tiguan (exact same engine I think) but I'm leary about the oil specifics and the prices charged by my not-even-closeby VW dealership. I can change my own oil after watching this.
Thank you! FCP I thought about it a lot to change the oil myself, because they told me that x being European was complicated but it was not very easy and the best thing to save money that these days you need Tks one more subscriber!
Thank you for the tutorial on the oil change. Very detailed especially on how the drain plug needs to be properly installed to make sure it snaps on. Would like to see oil changes on the DSG, Haldex and Brake fluid flush for 2018 Tiguan 4 Motion.
Hi, good vid. Have seen others using an oil suction hand pump to suck the oil through the dip stick funnel instead of jacking up the car and draining from the plug below. Is this recommended?

Its actually a great little design. Takes car of the ole "too tight" on an oil drain fill plug and then you're stuck replacing the entire oil pan situation 😂
Great video! Thanks for showing how to reset the service notification. Do you happen to know how to change how many miles between oil changes? Mine says 548 days and 12,600 miles…. I know it should be 10,000 miles. 🤷🏼♀️ thanks
I have a 2020 base model and to reset the interval I had to hold the reset button, just turn the key to on and when the oil message popped up hit the reset again. No turning key to start. Which maybe was what you were saying but the S has no start button.
Question I ended up following your video when changing my oil. I noticed a oil stain underneath my car and plug was apparently leaking. I don’t remember doing anything wrong or over tightening the plug. Any tips to fix or just replace drain plug? I even tried to tight a little bit more, but I can’t it’s tight all the way.
2018 Tiguan. Oil sits in a sump on the oil filter. Looks like 6-8 ounces. No matter what an ounce leaks out when I remove the housing, running down the engine. Plus there is that last bit of used oil sitting there. Short of a dozen rags around the base to catch the oil and vacuuming the remaining oil in the filter housing, what can I do?
I have a question it’s my first ever ‘23 VW Tiguan. Is it true that oil intervals are every 10,000 miles. My previous cars I did at every 5,000. Once again I am new to VW first time ever.
Have you guys seen common issues with this gen of Tiguan leaking oil from the timing covers, or elsewhere? Trying to track my leaking issue. Also, have the alternator clutch pulleys been known to fail early, also throwing oil? Found some build up on my radiator's plastic end tank, which is in-line with this pulley. Lastly, VW updated their warranty once again, now to only 4y/50k miles? Or is it still 6y/72k? Thanks for all the videos you guys produce. Helps a lot!
My VW dealer dumped 5W40 Castrol in my car for its 10k service, as written on the invoice. When I questioned them about it, they said it is fine and it can be used. I’ve noticed my 2021 Tiguan runs smoother with the 5W40, but the gas mileage has plummeted. Will this caus significant damage to the engine? I do my own oil changes every 5k with VW 508/509 0W20 OEM oil I buy from another dealer. What do you suggest I do about the 5W40 that’s in there now. There’s only about 2,500 miles left on the 5k service until I hit 15k. I already bought the 6 quarts of 508/509 0W20 oil, filter, and drain plug for the 15k service. Should I just wait until then or do the service now and then just let the oil go 7500 miles until the 20k service, which I’ll be doing at a different dealer that actually uses the VW Spec 508/509 0W20 oil? Thanks in advance. Great video!!!
We would suggest removing the 5w40 and replacing it with the recommended 0W20, this is a pretty specific requirement for the new EA888 VW engines and it's best to use what its been tested and engineered to use. If you purchase the oil change through our site (with Genuine Oil or our Preferred Liqui Moly like in the video) then dont forget its also covered by our lifetime replacement grantee! Essentially giving you and your car free oil changes for life every 5k or so miles.
@@fcpeuro Do you suggest I also change the oil filter too, despite it only being in there about 2,500 miles? I’d hate to have to waste that practically new filter, but if you recommend doing so, I can part with $13 for the filter. Thank you guys for the advice. I’m lovin my 21 Pure White Tiguan SE R-line Black! They really aren’t as slow as people think…but I do have a FWD model where there isn’t as much weight from all the drivetrain components for the 4motion. Thanks again guys, great informative video as usual.
I would go after dealership for damage to the engine because you have the proof they used the wrong oil. Engine won’t last as long so to the added pressure due to higher oil viscosity
Hello. I just bought a 2021 Tiguan and the dealer told me that I have 3 free oil changes with purchase. What freaked me out was they are done at 10,20 and 30k miles. So, questions, do I really only change oil at 10k miles? What about break in oil? Car only has 90 miles on it. TIA
Pretty much every single VW tech and enthusiast I've heard from recommends 5k oil changes. I've always done that since I bought my 2012 GTI because I wasn't comfortable with 10k intervals. I did my own changes every 5k in between the free oil changes the dealer gave. For break in period, check your manual and ask the dealer. There might be another oil change recommended early on.
While on the topic, VW also says that automatic transmission fluid is a lifetime fill. But definitely don't follow that. Change it like every 30-40k along with the filter.
Has anyone done the stage 1 engine upgrade? is there anything I can do about the gas mileage? it seems to be going rather quickly I even put premium gas in the tank.
Intermittent? That is strange, valvetrain noise can be low oil level. What exactly are you hearing? Some valvetrain noise is normal plus these DI engines tend to be a bit noisy.
When started it makes a tapping noise then when warm it is a intermittently tapping noise from valvetrain dealer say it is normal,I personally find that to be annoying sounds like a old car I have a 2020 tiguan sel r-line I will call corporate about it can't understand how a valvetrain tapping noise is considered normal..
I would have toped off the coolant reservoir, checked the brake fluid level and checked the steering fluid if it uses hydraulic oil; other than that, thanks for the tips, tricks and advices.
5W-30 is the only listed oil type I see with a google search. Also, the local big boy chain auto part stores list it. But I see the 0w-20 being offered by you and some of your VW-centric online competitors. What gives?
I'm thinking of getting a 2022...aren't these engines using full synthetic oil? I don't hear that mentioned anywhere, don't see it anywhere on the labels shown on these videos.
Those aren't an issue at all. What is is the carbon deposits that build up on the back of the intake valves on VW/Audi cars, needs to be addressed. I know Toyota has both Direct Injection AND Port Injection on their RAV4 and the new Corolla Cross.
My 2019 Arteon does also. Not much, just bring it up from low to mid a couple of times per year. I'm waiting until I get within a year of warranty running out to get it addressed --probably the water pump/thermostat assembly. The new one will fail with time, so I'm waiting and getting the factory one replaced later. Who knows, maybe the new ones will actually fix the issue.
Being that the oil change seems similar to 2020 Audi q3 2.0t. Is there any difference in the engine between the 2020 vw Tiguan 2.0t and the 2020 Audi q3 2.0t? I know ones a tsi and the Audi tfsi but can you please tell me the difference ? Thanks in advance @FCP Euro
The 2020 Audi Q3 2.0T still uses the same VW Spec 508/509 0W20 oil, but the Audi 2.0T has more horsepower, I believe 211 compared to 184 in the Tiguan.
@@tomdolgin5441 I’ve seen the 2020 tiquans being 2.0t but are tsi, the Audi is a tfsi does that make any difference in motor aside from power ? Or is power the only difference
@@1state152 It makes no difference. TSI stands for Turbo Stratified Injection and TFSI stands for Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection. There is NO difference. They both mean the same thing. VW uses “TSI” and Audi uses “TFSI” on their engine covers. They are literally the same exact thing. I’m sure the companies wanted to differentiate the two brands even down to what’s on the engine covers so that people don’t think that they are the same exact thing, even though they are. Hope that makes some sense. It’s just marketing. To confuse you even more, the MKV VW 2.0T engine covers used to say “FSI” for Fuel Stratified Injection. Those are the same exact thing too. LOL.
