Where is the engine number of the Tiguan?
3 Answers
The engine number of the Volkswagen Tiguan is stamped on the side of the engine block. Open the front hood, remove the engine cover, and look downward toward the front of the car to locate it. The Tiguan's engine number can also be found on the vehicle's registration certificate or the car's compliance certificate. Here is some information about the Volkswagen Tiguan's engine: 1. The Tiguan comes with two engine models, the EA888 and EA211, both of which use turbocharged intake systems. The EA888 engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the EA211 engine is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. Different engine models are used depending on the vehicle configuration. The Tiguan's TSI turbocharged engine features a water-cooled turbocharger with aerodynamically optimized turbine blades, improving airflow and delivering power and torque comparable to larger displacement engines at lower RPMs, while also maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. 3. The Tiguan currently has four models available, with two engine displacements: 1.4T and 1.8T. There are two transmission options: dual-clutch and automatic. The engine's maximum power output is 118 kW, with a maximum horsepower of 160 PS and a maximum torque of 250 N·m.
I've driven several Volkswagen Tiguan models in my lifetime and found that the engine number location is actually quite consistent. Generally speaking, after opening the hood, just look down on the engine block itself - it's usually engraved on the cylinder block side or near the front close to the fan area. Some models might have it printed on a nameplate attached there. Remember safety first: always turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for cooling to avoid burning your hands. Last time when I went for vehicle transfer, the staff asked for this number and I found it directly on the left side of the engine compartment. The Tiguan's design is quite reasonable with clearly engraved numbers. If you find it difficult to locate, you can refer to the owner's manual. Developing this habit during routine maintenance will make it easier.
As a car-loving young person, I've tried locating the engine number on my Tiguan a few times. You just need to pop the hood, and the engine is right there in front of you. The number is usually engraved directly on the front side or slightly to the right. I'd also recommend using your phone's flashlight to get a better look at the details. I've discussed this topic on forums, and many fellow owners shared that Volkswagen models have similar locations, which is quite convenient. Remembering this spot during routine maintenance is super practical, like when changing oil or getting inspections done.
