Genuine VW Tiguan Mk2 2.0 TDI Rear Shock Absorber Set – 5Q0513425J – 100207765 – 6001021050 – 2017

Genuine Volkswagen used rear shock absorber set, removed from a 2017 VW Tiguan Mk2 2.0 TDI.

These rear shock absorbers form an important part of the vehicle’s rear suspension system, controlling suspension movement and helping maintain vehicle stability, ride comfort and consistent tyre contact with the road.

Supplied as a matching left and right rear pair, ideal for replacing worn or damaged rear dampers.

Reference / Marking: 5Q0513425J

Additional Number: 100207765

Additional Number: 6001021050

Part Type: Rear Shock Absorber / Suspension Damper

Position: Rear Axle

Vehicle Side: Left & Right / N/S & O/S

Quantity: 2 – Pair / Set

Donor Vehicle: VW Tiguan Mk2 – 2017

Donor Engine: 2.0 TDI Diesel

Manufacturer: Volkswagen / OEM Supplier

Condition: Used Genuine/OEM Parts

COMPATIBILITY

Suitable for selected Volkswagen Tiguan Mk2 (AD1) applications.

VW Tiguan Mk2 / AD1

• From approximately 2016 onwards

• 2017 donor vehicle confirmed

• 2.0 TDI Diesel donor application

• Rear axle fitment

• Left and right rear suspension

• Selected front-wheel-drive and/or 4Motion configurations depending on suspension specification

The Tiguan Mk2 was available with several different engine, drivetrain and suspension configurations, therefore the donor vehicle alone should not be used as a guarantee of compatibility.

The MQB platform is shared with a number of other Volkswagen Group vehicles; however, do not assume interchangeability with Golf, Passat, Kodiaq, Ateca, Audi or other MQB vehicles without comparing the complete shock absorber identification and suspension specification.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Rear shock absorbers are hydraulic damping components designed to control the oscillation of the rear suspension.

When the rear wheel moves over bumps or uneven road surfaces, the suspension spring compresses and extends. Without effective damping, the spring would continue to oscillate.

The shock absorber controls this movement by providing resistance during compression and rebound.

Correctly functioning rear dampers help provide:

• Controlled rear suspension movement

• Improved vehicle stability

• Reduced bouncing after bumps

• Consistent tyre-to-road contact

• Improved ride comfort

• Better vehicle control during braking and cornering

• Reduced excessive suspension movement

• More predictable handling characteristics

REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM INFORMATION

These units are fitted to the rear suspension system and are supplied as a pair for the left and right sides.

Replacing rear shock absorbers in axle pairs is generally recommended because damping performance can differ significantly between a new/replacement damper and an older worn unit.

A matched pair helps maintain more balanced suspension behaviour across the rear axle.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

Numbers visible / associated with these units include:

5Q0513425J

100207765

6001021050

Please use all available numbers and listing photographs when comparing these shock absorbers with your existing units.

Different numbers visible on a shock absorber assembly may relate to individual components, manufacturer production references or other identification markings and should not automatically be treated as the complete VW shock absorber OE number.

COMMON SYMPTOMS / REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT

Rear shock absorbers may require replacement due to:

• Excessive rear suspension bouncing

• Poor damping over bumps

• Knocking or suspension noises

• Oil leakage from an existing shock absorber

• Excessive body movement

• Reduced stability during cornering

• Rear of vehicle feeling unsettled on uneven roads

• Uneven or accelerated tyre wear

• Damaged shock absorber body or mounting point

• MOT advisory or failure relating to suspension damping

• Replacement following accident or suspension damage

IMPORTANT DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION

Not every rear suspension knock is caused by the shock absorber itself.

Before replacement, it is advisable to inspect:

• Rear shock absorber upper and lower bushes

• Shock absorber mounts

• Rear springs

• Bump stops / dust covers

• Rear suspension arms and bushes

• Anti-roll bar bushes and links

• Wheel bearings

• Shock absorber mounting bolts

If one rear shock absorber has failed or has significantly reduced damping performance, replacing the left and right rear dampers together is normally preferable.

INSTALLATION

These shock absorbers are mechanically fitted to the vehicle’s rear suspension.

Installation should be carried out using the correct tools and manufacturer-specified procedures.

All suspension mounting bolts and fasteners should be inspected and tightened to the correct Volkswagen torque specifications.

Professional installation is recommended.

PROGRAMMING / CODING

Programming Required: No

Coding Required: No

Diagnostic Adaptation: Normally No

For conventional passive shock absorbers, no electronic programming is normally required.

IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE

Please compare the complete shock absorber assembly, all visible identification numbers and listing photographs before purchasing.

The 5Q0513425J reference can be associated with a component of the shock absorber assembly and should not be relied upon by itself as the definitive shock absorber OE number.

Fitment can vary according to:

• Vehicle production date

• Engine specification

• Vehicle weight / axle load

• Front-wheel drive or 4Motion

• Suspension PR codes

• Standard / sports suspension

• Electronic / adaptive suspension specification

• Factory equipment configuration

The additional markings 100207765 and 6001021050 should also be compared wherever possible.

If your existing shock absorbers have matching identification and appearance, this provides a much stronger basis for compatibility than matching the vehicle year and engine alone.

CONDITION

Used Genuine/OEM VW Rear Shock Absorber Set.

Normal cosmetic marks, surface corrosion, dirt and signs of previous installation may be present due to the item’s location underneath the vehicle.

Please inspect all listing photographs carefully for the exact condition, identification numbers, mounting points and components included in the sale.

Ideal replacement rear shock absorber pair for a compatible VW Tiguan Mk2, particularly where both rear dampers are being replaced together.
