Where is the drainage hole of the Tiguan L door?
2 Answers
The drainage hole of the Tiguan L door is located at the bottom of the door. The drainage hole can remove accumulated water from the vehicle, which helps prevent the water from affecting the vehicle's electrical circuits or causing rust. When the vehicle's drainage is not smooth, the location of the accumulated water can help determine which drainage hole or pipe is blocked. Taking the 2018 Tiguan L Comfort version as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category, with body dimensions of 4712 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, and 1673 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2791 mm. The 2018 Tiguan L Comfort version is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum power speed of 4800 to 200 rpm, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
Speaking of the drain holes on the Tiguan L's doors, I've driven this type of vehicle for many years and regularly check and maintain them. They are actually located at the bottom edge of each door. When you open the door and look down at the very bottom, you'll notice small holes or gaps, usually hidden behind the rubber seals. Their purpose is to allow rainwater or water from the windows to drain out, preventing accumulation inside the door that could lead to rust or component corrosion. I recommend cleaning them every quarter, especially after driving on muddy roads where they can easily get clogged. The method is simple: use an old toothbrush to gently remove debris, then rinse with a spray bottle. Neglecting this can cause water to accumulate in the door, making the closing sound louder and even affecting the window's functionality. Over time, repair costs can add up. Developing a habit of checking them takes less than two minutes and can save you from major headaches.
