Welcome to the Tiguan (MQB) Do-It-Yourself, How-To and Frequently Asked Question Thread.

Hi everyone!
So this is a new forum for the New Tiguan there's going to be a lot of repeat questions.
So I need your help compiling the best answers.

Sure the answer is always use the search first or for me to merge repeat topics to the right one.
But I'm not always on here and do have a life outside of volunteering my time on here.

SO I'm coming to you guys and girls for help in narrowing down what topics you would like to see nominated for the FAQ topic for this forum.

So any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I believe the factory battery for the MQB NAR Tiguan is 70AH, EFB+ (enhanced flooded lead acid). You can go larger and switch to AGM if you like as long as it fits physically and has the same terminals.

If you are planning to change it yourself, be sure to do the adaptations to reset and reconfigure the battery monitor and charging system using OBDeleven or VCDS. Not doing so will negatively effect your new battery.


Cheers…
