Volkswagen Tiguan Bulkhead Replacement Parts

The Tiguan runs across two clear generations: the Mk1 (2007–2016, facelifted 2011) and the Mk2 (2016–present, facelifted 2020). Bulkheads are platform-specific, so a Mk1 bulkhead will not cross to a Mk2 and vice versa. Within each generation, parts from before and after the facelift may share the same pressing, but confirm this with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Both years sit within the Mk1 generation (2007–2016), so they share the same platform and the bulkhead is very likely compatible. However, 2013 falls post-facelift (2011) and 2015 is in the same post-facelift window, which helps alignment. Always confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as mid-generation pressing changes are possible and cannot be ruled out.

This question spans the Mk1-to-Mk2 generation boundary: the Mk1 ran until 2016 and the Mk2 launched in 2016, meaning a 2016 car could be either generation depending on build date. The bulkhead will not interchange between Mk1 and Mk2, so you must confirm which generation your car is with the breaker before ordering.

No — trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Tiguan; the same pressing is used across S, SE, SEL, R-Line, and Allspace variants within a given generation. You may find cosmetic or weld-on bracket differences between trim lines, so mention your trim when speaking to the breaker so they can flag anything relevant. What matters is generation (Mk1 or Mk2) and build date, not whether your car is an SE or an R-Line.

The Allspace is a long-wheelbase variant of the Mk2 Tiguan, and whether its bulkhead pressing differs from the standard Mk2 is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume either way. Both sit on the same MQB platform, but the extended bodywork may introduce differences in the bulkhead or surrounding metalwork. Give the breaker your full registration so they can match the exact vehicle rather than rely on the model name alone.

Engine choice does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Tiguan — the bulkhead is determined by generation and body structure, not by whether the donor car was a diesel or petrol. Focus on matching the generation (Mk1 2007–2016 or Mk2 2016–present) and confirming the build date with the breaker, and disregard the engine specification entirely when assessing compatibility.
