A series of checks to do if the heating radiator of the Volkswagen Touran is not working.

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Radiator

In this video, we will see what to do when the heating radiator of the Volkswagen Tiguan (but also Golf, Audi A3, and other vehicles of the group) gets clogged, causing the car's temperature to rise and the coolant to overflow. A large amount of dirt accumulates in the radiator, as we can see from the drainage tank; of course, this dirt is present throughout the car's cooling system. Other reasons include what we see in the air conditioning radiator, which has more than half of the fins broken or bent: air cannot pass through, so it logically overheats. Furthermore, with the fan continuously running due to high temperatures, the radiator collects a large amount of dirt, clogging it and preventing it from functioning properly. Therefore, before changing the heating radiator, we must perform all these checks, otherwise we will be wasting our money. We should also check the valves inside the hoses, which in this case are full of rust.
