How are you diagnosing the compressor 'kicking in' ?
These units are variable displacement and are always engaged, a solenoid controls the activation, engine rpm will not change etc. So only a VCDS log would be able to give an indication.
I had the same symptoms on my Jetta, a new compressor fixed it.
This is the 2nd tiguan in as many weeks to report AC issue on this forum. The other is waiting at the dealer for a new compressor.
Air Conditioning not working
I suspect you have the same issue I would book in to the dealer ASAP.
