Volkswagen Tiguan Service and Repair Manual: Tire Sealant

Tire Sealant, Expiration Date

Tire sealant in the bottle has a limited storage life.

Therefore, the expiration date is indicated on the bottle -arrow-.

Replace tire sealant when minimum shelf life date has been reached (tire sealant must not be older than 4 years).

If the bottle was opened, for example, for a punctured tire, it must also be replaced.

Observe the disposal regulations.

Tire Sealant, Disposal

• Tire sealant or residue from it must not be mixed with other wastes/fluids
• Accumulating fluid residue from tire sealant must be collected and placed in a plastic container. The plastic containers can be sent for recycling together with the tire sets (if the expiration date has passed).
• The return or recycling can take place using the existing workshop disposal systems
• Check with the company responsible for trash pickup for the dealership.
