      The Ford 150 is easier to work with than the Tiguan

    Hey just a helpful hint and tip, the lug cap removal tool should be with your spare tire and Jack. It's very small and easy to over look. It's a little ring with a long straight piece with a hook in it. Take a look next time you're in there! Hopefully this helps next time.

    Hye Entjik, Q @1:10 you should have a little tool near tyre removal kit.. small spring like metal cable. Use that to pull those nut bolt caps.

    Hey! Great video. I'm wondering how to remove that rear bumper? Is it as easy as popping it back into place?

    • @ejsgarage
      @ejsgarage  5 лет назад

      Hi. Thank you. It is a pain in the neck to remove. You need to jack the rear part of the car, remove the back wheels, remove the wheel well cover, and then remove the screws for the bumper. It wasn't hard to put it back in as long as the bumper snaps back into the clip slots.

    Nice to know the mudflaps don't have to come off. Did you get the part number of the broken connector housing?

    • @ejsgarage
      @ejsgarage  6 лет назад

      +Tan N It's nice, isn't it. The connector wasn't broken. It was cracked. The parking light itself basically a whole unit of housing & light bulb.

      +magincap70 Pain in the ass indeed! I don't understand why can't VW could not place the light assembly in an easier place to reach.

    Very good evening sir, this is tanka from Nepal. Could you please let me know about the Tiguan... In Nepal the rod is so bad so I need to change one size bigger tire.Now in my Tiguan has 16" rim Fitted buY factory. And please let me know which companies tire is best? If I change bigger size will be okay or will be get some problems? I need more ground clearance... You know what I mean; hope you will response me soon. Regards Tanka lama

    • @ejsgarage
      @ejsgarage  6 лет назад +1

      +Tanka Lama Hi Tanka! My best friend Satish Joshi is from Nepal. I love the Continental tires. The clearance of the Tiguan is pretty high, you should not have any problems but make sure that you check with the shop where you buy it

    • @tankalama9361
      @tankalama9361 6 лет назад +1

    Hi guys.
    Do any of you know how to get a copy of the fuse box diagram for the VW Tiguan. Owner's manual does not provide that information. Thanks

      +TOM LEE I have never done it before. Sorry, You can buy VW Tiguan service manual from.amazon, it may have better information.

      This diagram is useful. I was looking for one myself earlier. Dealer would not release the document - bastards. Beware that it alters your home page as a condition of downloading.

    I didn't want to go through all this effort so I asked my mechanic to check it out but he wanted to charge $200 for the job. Decided to go without...LOL.

    • @ejsgarage
      @ejsgarage  4 года назад +1

      lol I had a hyundai sonata in 2006 and in the invoice the light bulb was $2.99 and the labor fee was $35 to screw the bulb. No more again asking a mechanic to change a light bulb!

      Hi EJ, do you happen to have a video about changing the brake light in a 2009 Tiguan?

    • @ejsgarage
      @ejsgarage  4 года назад +1

      Unfortunately no, my 2013 brake lights were ok for 4 years until the day I sold the car.
