Second Hand Volkswagen Tiguan Anti Roll Bar

The Tiguan Mk1 ran from 2007 to 2016, so a 2013 bar comes from the same generation as your 2017 would NOT — the Mk2 Tiguan launched in 2016, meaning these are different generations with different platforms and the anti roll bars are not a straight swap. Both generations carry front and rear anti roll bars as standard, but the dimensions and mounting points differ between Mk1 and Mk2. Always confirm exact fitment with the breaker against your registration number before purchasing.

Yes, the Tiguan has always been fitted with anti roll bars — both front and rear — across all variants of the Mk1 (2007–2016) and Mk2 (2016 onwards). This applies regardless of whether your car is front-wheel drive or 4Motion four-wheel drive, and regardless of engine size. So if you need to replace one, you're looking for a genuine part that was fitted to your car from the factory.

The drivetrain layout can influence the rear suspension setup on the Tiguan, and some dimensional differences between FWD and 4Motion anti roll bars have been reported, particularly at the rear. When sourcing a used bar, always tell the breaker whether your car is front-wheel drive or 4Motion, and confirm the part matches your exact registration rather than assuming all variants share the same bar.

Trim level alone — whether S, SE, SEL, or R-Line — does not determine which anti roll bar your Tiguan needs, as trim is largely a cosmetic and equipment distinction. What matters more is the generation (Mk1 2007–2016 or Mk2 2016 onwards), engine size, and whether the car is 2WD or 4Motion. Sport or R-Line suspension variants may use different spring and damper rates, but the anti roll bar fitment question is best confirmed with the breaker against your registration to be safe.

The Tiguan Mk1 received a facelift around 2011, but both pre- and post-facelift cars share the same underlying PQ46 platform, so the anti roll bars are generally considered to be the same generation of part. That said, whether a specific bar from a pre-facelift car crosses over cleanly to a post-facelift car is something you should verify with the breaker using your exact registration, as minor running changes can occur within a generation. Don't assume a match purely on the basis that both cars are Mk1 Tiguans.

Both a 2018 and 2019 Tiguan fall within the Mk2 generation (launched 2016), so you're working within the same platform, which is a good starting point. However, you should still tell the breaker your exact engine size and whether your car is FWD or 4Motion, as these factors can affect bar dimensions even within the same generation. Always confirm against your registration before buying to avoid an unnecessary return.
