If your VW Tiguan is making a clicking noise and won't start, this can be due to several reasons. Common causes include a dead battery, a faulty alternator, or a failing starter. In my experience, a dead battery is often the culprit when a car has trouble starting. This can occur if you accidentally left a light on or forgot to turn off the radio. Alternatively, a bad alternator may also be to blame. When the alternator malfunctions, it fails to charge the battery, causing it to lose power. A faulty starter, on the other hand, may prevent the car from turning over, although the lights may still work.
If your VW Tiguan won't turn on and you hear a clicking sound, it might be because the ignition switch is starting to fail or the battery is dead.
