Battery Model for Volkswagen Tiguan 1.8T
2 Answers
The original battery for the Volkswagen Tiguan used Varta in older models, with the model number 6-QW-60(580)-L and a voltage of 12V60AH. The newer models use Bosch batteries, with the model number L2-400 and the same voltage of 12V60AH. Below is some relevant information about the Volkswagen Tiguan battery: 1. Car batteries need to be charged regularly. If a battery is left unused for a long time, it will slowly discharge on its own until it becomes unusable. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to charge the battery. 2. Clean the battery terminals regularly and apply special grease to protect the wiring harness. Also, frequently check the battery accessories and connecting circuits.
I previously drove a Volkswagen Tiguan 1.8T and replaced its battery several times, usually opting for the H7 AGM type with a capacity of around 60 to 70Ah, as this size fits well in the engine compartment. The original battery tends to lose charge easily, especially in winter when starting becomes difficult, so I recommend checking the voltage during every maintenance service. If the battery is aging, the vehicle's start-stop function may fail, or it might not start at all—don't wait until you're stranded on the road to fix it. Replacing it yourself is quite simple; just loosen the clamps with a wrench, but remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to avoid a short circuit. Keep in mind that after replacing the battery, it's best to let the system reset to prevent the onboard computer from throwing errors and affecting your driving experience. Many repair shops now offer genuine parts at reasonable prices, so acting promptly can save you a lot of hassle.
