Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Tiguan Fuel Tank Leaks

    Anyone else had to replace their fuel tank rubber seals? Did mine under warranty (MY 19.5 Aus delivery) but surprised they degraded so much, fuel was leaking into wheel well area so pretty whiffy and dangerous.

    Could it have been incorrectly fitted in the factory assembly?

    The damage on one side might be where it was pinched up. Or was that from the disassembly and replacement process?

      I think you're right, both the pump and suctions seals showed similar wear so I'm thinking fitting issue too.
