my Tiguan 2009 model tsi 2.0 litre, fuel gauge is not indicating, its showing empty. the A/C is blowing air but it is not cooling and the car is indicating negative temperature while it is hot during the day. somehow someone touched the fuses. what must i do
I have 2011 Tiguan SE and have front left low beam not working.
replacing bulb did not work. No juice to the bulb. I tried to find the fuse.
Some says #12, another says 30A fuse in the fuse box under the hood.
All the diagram and pictures above are a little different from my car. My goal is to find the fuse for Left Low beam headlamp. Anyone can help on this?
My vw tiguan is misfiring but I’ve changed spark plugs and coils. Even the pick up is reduced. What could be the problem?
The message above has helped me so much

Is there any codes out there?
Did you ever find the fuse?
