Both years fall within the first-generation Tiguan (Mk1, produced 2007–2016), but the 2017 Tiguan is a second-generation model (Mk2, from 2016 onwards), so these are different platforms and the latch is very unlikely to interchange. Stick to sourcing a latch from a Mk2 Tiguan for a 2017 car. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
The Mk1 Tiguan received a facelift in 2011, which brought changes to the front end including the grille and bumper styling. Whether the bonnet latch itself interchanges across that 2011 facelift boundary is not something that can be confirmed here — check with the breaker, quoting your registration, so they can verify the part number matches before you buy.
No, trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the Tiguan — the latch is part of the front-end structure shared across all trim levels within a generation. Whether your car is a standard S, an SE, or a sportier R-Line, the latch will be the same unit, though cosmetic items around it like grille trim may differ. Focus on matching the generation and facelift period rather than the trim name.
The Mk2 Tiguan (2016 onwards) received a facelift around 2020, so a latch from a 2017 pre-facelift Mk2 and one from a 2020 facelift car may or may not be the same part. Name the generation match as a starting point, but confirm across that facelift boundary directly with the breaker against your specific registration to be certain.
No — the bonnet latch is a body component and is not affected by engine type or drivetrain. A petrol, diesel, or 4Motion four-wheel-drive Tiguan within the same generation will use the same latch. Just match the generation (Mk1 or Mk2) and facelift period, and you can ignore what's under the bonnet when searching.
The Mk1 Tiguan covers approximately 2007 to 2016, and the Mk2 runs from 2016 onwards — your registration year will place you in one or the other. If your car is a Mk1, also note whether it is pre-facelift (before 2011) or post-facelift (2011–2016), as the breaker will likely ask this to cross-check the part number. When contacting a breaker through Findapart, always give your full registration so they can confirm the correct latch for your exact vehicle.
