Tiguan wading depth

[Arctra]

Hi guys

For the few of you that do take your Tig's offroad, I thought I would give you a quick update on the wading depth the Tig is capable of when crossing deep water. The "official" wading depth is 200mm I believe, but recently I took the Tig through MUCH deeper water than that. I estimate that it was closer to 500mm of water I drove through without a problem. Here's a video of it for you:


So once again the Tig proves itself a far more capable offroader than I think a lot of us give it credit for.

Good to see, theres a road up North here that I was thinking of taking my car along at some stage next year, its got a few creek crossings, though they're not as deep as that.

Are you still running standard road tyres?

Nice.

I haven't seen a Tig with a snorkel yet... maybe you could get one and take it up to the window sills

Arctra what gave you the courage to test the wading depth?

Not many Tiguan owners would do that I am unbelievably amazed

That's pretty cool!! Any seepage, as that's well above the door sills !?

Have taken mine to about the centre of the wheels, which is about 350mm, but had a smooth concrete surface below me... My GF freaked out!

What about the breathers for gearbox etc?
