Here’s why we’re the best choice for Volkswagen Tiguan heater core replacement in Dubai:
Customer: Ms. Amina, a proud Volkswagen Tiguan owner in Dubai
Model: 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan
Issue: No heat, foggy windows, and a coolant leak under the dashboard.
Background:
Ms. Amina had been experiencing issues with her Volkswagen Tiguan’s heating system. Despite the engine being warm, the heater wasn’t blowing warm air. Her windows frequently fogged up when she tried to use the heater, and she noticed a sweet smell inside the cabin—classic signs of a coolant leak.
Diagnosis:
Upon inspecting Ms. Amina’s Volkswagen Tiguan, we confirmed that the heater core was leaking and clogged, which was preventing proper heat transfer. This caused the cabin to remain cold and the coolant to leak into the car, resulting in the fogging windows and sweet odor.
The Process:
We carefully removed the old, faulty heater core and replaced it with a genuine Volkswagen part. After reassembling the dashboard and reconnecting the heating and cooling systems, we tested the new heater core to ensure it was working properly.
Outcome:
After the replacement, Ms. Amina was able to enjoy a warm and comfortable driving experience again. Her Volkswagen Tiguan now produced the expected heat, the fogging windows problem was resolved, and there was no more sweet smell or coolant leak under the dashboard.
If your Volkswagen Tiguan is blowing cold air, has foggy windows, or there’s a sweet smell in the cabin, these are common indicators that your heater core needs replacement.
