1 Answers
Major maintenance items for the Volkswagen Tiguan include the following: 1. Item one: Replace engine oil, oil filter, air conditioning filter, and air filter, depending on the vehicle's clogging condition. If not clogged, replacement may not be necessary. 2. Item two: Spark plugs. The normal lifespan of a car's spark plugs is 30,000 kilometers, while platinum ones last longer, typically between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. For naturally aspirated engines, the original spark plugs are generally recommended for replacement at around 60,000 kilometers. 3. Item three: Transmission fluid. Manual transmission fluid should be replaced at 60,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission fluid should be changed between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. In major cities, the replacement interval may need to be advanced. 4. Item four: Brake fluid. Brake fluid is prone to absorption, and if the absorption rate exceeds 2%, it may lead to ineffective braking. It should be tested at a professional facility, and replacement is unnecessary if within the normal range. 5. Item five: Tires. The aging period for tires is usually five years, approximately around 70,000 kilometers. Therefore, at 60,000 kilometers, it's essential to check if the tires have worn down to the safety line. If significant wear is observed, tire replacement is necessary.
