2.1.3 Fixed service

For vehicles with a fixed service, fixed services are calculated.
This means that the mileage or time values are already set by
Volkswagen. For normal operating conditions achieving these
service intervals is technically assured.
Therefore the service intervals are fixed.
For vehicles
♦ which have not been delivered with extended servicing inter‐
vals (ESI) (PR numbers “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”, “QI4”, “QI7”),
♦ or for which the extended servicing interval (ESI) was stopped
♦ or for which no LongLife engine oil was used
the fixed service applies.
These non-flexible service intervals apply to all types of service
including an engine oil change.
Therefore, these vehicles have a fixed service interval display
⇒ page 6 and for maintenance the fixed service intervals (rigid
service intervals) apply. These vehicles are fitted with the follow‐
ing components:
♦ Fixed service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Engine oil level sensor
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)

For vehicles with a flexible service but which are serviced ac‐
cording to fixed service intervals, the service interval display must
be recoded to “non-flexible” ⇒ page 116 .

Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service)

Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service interval for vehicles with a fixed service is calcu‐
lated in fixed service intervals. This means that the mileage or
time values have been previously determined and specified by
Volkswagen.
♦ For normal operating conditions achieving these service in‐
tervals is technically assured.

♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert, the
message “Service now” and a “spanner symbol” are dis‐
played.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if en‐
gine is running.
Service initial warning
If a service is due, “Service initial warning” appears on dash panel
insert display when ignition is switched on.
♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert display
the following appears: “Service in --- km or --- days”.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if en‐
gine is running.

3.2 Entries in service schedule

If a component is changed which has a change interval prescribed
by the manufacturer, e.g. the toothed belt, the new change inter‐
val begins at the time the component is changed.
• Therefore it is very important, every time a component is
changed, to document this in the service schedule.

3. General information 19

4.2 All-wheel drive coupling: changing oil

Note

♦ On vehicles with all-wheel drive coupling the drain plugs and

sealing plugs of both systems are often interchanged owing to
the integrated housing construction of all-wheel drive coupling
and final drive. Caution must be exercised during maintenance
and servicing as incorrect fitting can cause the all-wheel drive
coupling and the final drive to fail.
♦ The all-wheel drive coupling and the final drive are one system
with separate oil systems.
♦ -1- Sealing plug for filler hole of all-wheel drive coupling oil
♦ -2- Drain plug for all-wheel drive coupling oil
♦ -3- Sealing plug for gear oil filler hole
♦ -4- Drain plug for gear oil

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Note

♦ Tyre pressures for the relevant model can also be found on a

sticker. It is attached to the inside of tank flap or to B-pillar.
♦ Note that the pressures indicated on the sticker are applicable
for cold tyres.
♦ Do not reduce increased pressures of warm tyres.
♦ Depending on the vehicle, the sticker may also contain infor‐
mation on the comfort tyre pressure. The comfort tyre pressure
facilitates improved driving comfort.
♦ Adjust the tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load. For delivery
inspections or repairs, the partial load tyre pressure is to be
used.
♦ If no inflation pressure is shown for the spare wheel, then in‐
flate the spare wheel to the highest inflation pressure for the
vehicle.
♦ Note that a basic setting is to be performed on vehicles with
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator each time the pressure is
changed ⇒ page 97 .

WARNING

♦ Never allow brake fluid to come into contact with fluids that
contain mineral oils (e.g. oil, petrol, cleaning agents). Min‐
eral oils will damage seals and rubber grommets of brake
system.
♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. In addition, due to its corrosive
nature, it must not come into contact with paint.
♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs mois‐
ture from the ambient air and should therefore always be
stored in air-tight containers.
♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.
♦ Do not reuse extracted (used) brake fluid!
♦ Observe relevant disposal regulations.

Extracting brake fluid

– Unscrew cap -1- from brake fluid reservoir.

4. Descriptions of work: 53
 Tiguan 2016 ➤ , Tiguan RUS 2017 ➤
Maintenance - Edition 08.2017

– Using the suction hose from brake filling and bleeding unit ,
extract as much brake fluid -2- from the brake fluid reservoir
as possible through the strainer -1-.

Note

♦ The strainer in brake fluid reservoir must remain in place.

♦ Ensure that no brake fluid runs through the strainer after com‐
pleting the extraction (the brake fluid level in the reservoir must
be even with the lower edge of the strainer).

Connecting brake filling and bleeding equipment

– Screw adapter -1- onto brake fluid reservoir.

– Connect filler hose from brake filling and bleeding unit to
adapter -1-.
– Set correct pressure on brake filling and bleeding equipment

water to be used in the cooling system has been specified by
Volkswagen. Distilled water fulfils all requirements. Therefore,
only ever use distilled water when mixing coolant for topping
up or renewing coolant.

4.33.1 Notes on engines with turbocharger

After the engine oil has been changed and the oil filter has been
renewed, observe the following when starting the engine for the
first time:
♦ The engine must only run at idling speed as long as the oil
pressure warning lamp lights up in dash panel.
♦ Do not rev up!
♦ The full oil pressure is not attained until the warning lamp has
gone out. Only then can the engine be revved up.

4. Descriptions of work: 79
 Tiguan 2016 ➤ , Tiguan RUS 2017 ➤
Maintenance - Edition 08.2017

Caution

If the engine is revved up the turbocharger can be damaged or

fail completely. Since the turbocharger runs at very high
speeds, the bearings may fail within seconds in the event of
inadequate lubrication.
If leaks, vibrations and unusual noises are encountered on the
turbocharger, immediately switch off the engine.

4.33.2 Engine oil: draining and renewing oil fil‐

ter, 1.4 l TSI engines

Caution

♦ Catalytic converter damage due to excessive engine oil in

the engine. Too much oil remains after extracting.
♦ Always drain engine oil. Vacuum extraction is not allowed.

Proceed slowly when pouring in the engine oil. The filler neck is
narrow, and the housing structure is directly underneath it. This
causes the oil to run very slowly. If necessary, use oil filler funnel

4.40 Tyre pressure indicator : calibrating

Note

♦ The calibration of the tyre pressure indicator must only be per‐

formed “after” the tyre pressure has been corrected to the
prescribed values.
♦ If no pressure loss and tyre damage are found after a tyre
pressure warning, the incorrect warning can be rectified by
calibrating.

Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator compares the speed and thus the
rolling circumference and vibrations of the individual wheels via
the ABS sensors. If the tyre pressure changes on one or several
wheels, the tyre pressure indicator will indicate this in the dash
panel insert and the Infotainment system.
The rolling circumference of tyre changes if:
♦ The tyre pressure is too low.
♦ The tyre has structural damage.
♦ The vehicle is loaded more heavily on one side.
♦ The wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when
towing a trailer or when driving in mountains).
♦ Snow chains are fitted. agen
