Where is the fuel pump fuse located in the Tiguan?

Tiguan fuel pump fuse is located in the front compartment fuse box. There is a sticker on the inside of the fuse box cover indicating the position of the fuses and the current they can carry. The Tiguan is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4506mm, width 1809mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase 2684mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, and luggage compartment capacity ranging from 400 to 1530l. The Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 118kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. It uses MacPherson independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
Regarding the location of the Tiguan fuel pump fuse, I must say it's usually found in the engine compartment fuse box. Specifically, after opening the hood, you'll spot the fuse box in the right front area. Open its cover and look for the icon or label marked 'Fuel Pump' or 'FP'—it's quite easy to identify. Having worked on many cars, I can tell you that a blown fuel pump fuse is a common issue, often causing starting difficulties or sudden stalling while driving. I recall one instance where a client's car broke down on the highway due to a melted fuse, and replacing it with a new 15A fuse got it running smoothly again. Regular checks of these spots can save you from costly towing fees. If you can't find it in the engine bay, check the fuse box under the left dashboard trim near the driver's seat, though most Tiguan configurations have it up front. The key point is: when unsure, avoid random disassembly—using a test light to confirm if the fuse is blown is a safer approach.
