Condenser and dryer
Several improvements have been made to the
condenser with integrated dryer for the Tiguan.
The condenser dryer cylinder has been shortened for
better crash performance. This provides better
protection when the bumper cross member deforms.
When fitted with off-road bumpers (28° approach
angle), the Tiguan has a stone-guard grille for
the condenser.
Servicing has been made easier by moving the
connection for the coolant hoses to the upper part of
the engine compartment. This makes them easier to
access when work needs to be carried out on
the condenser. Furthermore the dryer cylinder can be
replaced without the condenser being removed.
Thermo Top V auxiliary coolant heating
The Tiguan can be optionally equipped with the Thermo Top V auxiliary coolant heating system.
The following changes have been made to the design for use in the Tiguan:
- Modified air-intake damper
- Water hoses with quick-release connections
- Adapted exhaust gas pipe
