What to Do If You Lose Your Tiguan Car Key?
2 Answers
The solution for losing your Tiguan car key is: use the spare key or go to a 4S store to replace a remote key. The dimensions of the Tiguan are: length 4506mm, width 1809mm, height 1685mm, with a wheelbase of 2684mm and a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters. The Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 118 kilowatts, reaching maximum power at 4500 to 6200 revolutions per minute, and a maximum torque of 250 Newton meters, achieving maximum torque at 1500 to 4500 revolutions per minute. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
I once lost my Tiguan car key before, and dealing with it was a bit troublesome, but the steps are actually quite simple. The first thing is not to panic—immediately check if you have a spare key. If you do, just use it to drive the car, which saves a lot of hassle. If not, quickly contact a Volkswagen 4S dealership or an authorized dealer, provide details like the VIN, and they can help you get a new key. Note that the Tiguan's keyless entry system requires specialized equipment for programming, which you can't do yourself, and the cost might exceed a thousand yuan. At the same time, to prevent someone from finding the lost key and driving your car, it's best to ask the 4S shop to deactivate the old key's signal or consider replacing all the locks, though it’s more expensive but safer. Don’t delay the process too long, as it could affect daily use or security. Getting a key from a roadside shop might cause issues, so the official channel is more reliable—just be prepared to wait a bit for the process.
