The seller authorized the dealer to provide me with the vehicle maintenance records and attached is what the dealer sent.

Can anyone decipher this or should I just ask the dealer for the secret decoder ring?

I spoke with the dealer and they said that the headlamps were vented and the condensation would dissipate.

However, the owner said that the headlamps have been that way for approximately a year. Doesn't sound like a temporary condition to me.

Any insights on this??

I have an 04 V8 touareg with 75000km, that is shifting hard , especially when coming to a stop. Took it to the closest VW dealer 5 months ago and they said nothing was wrong. Took it back last week , first they said they could not get it to shift hard. I told them to take for a longer drive, I came back a couple of hours later they told me the mechanic had it happen to him. Mechanic says the transmission is hooped and should be replaced. I have read many older posts from 04 owners with this problem just wondering if anybody found out what was causing it . Not sure how you decide that the transmission is failed without looking into the problem at all. ]]> Flamefail http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/04-v8-shifting-hard-44481.html Hey Guys!

I'm a big VAG guy, own a stage 3 B5 S4 and a 06 A3 non-sport. Looking to sell the A3 and buy a T1 v10 TDI. I admittidly don't know much about the v10 or any issues it has and am trying to do some research and decide if it's something I even want to get into (still open to VR6 and V8s).
I figured who'd know better than T-reg entheusiasts!
Any tips on what to look for when purchasing? Ideal maintenance items on the record? Any help or schooling on the V10 or suggestions on other engine types is greatly appreciated.

TIA

A couple days ago I got the "Key Battery Low" message so I swung by Canadian Tire and picked up a fresh new C2032 battery. Popped it in but now the message changed to "Key Battery Emtpy". The funny thing is that all the key fob functions work from a good distance away and the keyless entry and keyless start all work fine as well.

Could it just be that I need to VAG-COM into it to erase the message?

TIA for the help. I'm a bit stumped by this one. ]]> MartinW http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/key-battery-empty-44449.html 2009 TDI AdBlue system alternate fluid. http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/2009-tdi-adblue-system-alternate-fluid-44431.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:57:44 GMT Hi All, Just wondering what everyone (With a V6 TDI) thinks about an alternate to AdBlue.

Just wondering what everyone (With a V6 TDI) thinks about an alternate to AdBlue.
In this case I am looking at AIR 1 DEF.
Seems to have all the same qualities at 1/2 the price!

Any ideas? http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/spare-parts-any-ideas-44430.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:56:31 GMT So I've got these spare parts. Four came with the new egg sealed in a plastic bag and I have never been able to figure what they were for. They appear to be some kind of "delete" panel approximately the same size as the 110v outlet in the back. There are tabs on the underside that would seem to coincide with the thickness of the rear plastic/felt-ish panels.

How ever, i noticed alot of people and some technical DIY pointing out that the oil filter is supposed to be under the engine. Before i did any thing, i checked the engine from under the hood and i could see a smiler cap to the oil filter cap only this one is almost upside down. is this possible?

i cant get a hold of the dealer here since its a holiday. and i haven't seen any info about this on the internet.

any tips? ]]> hakimjan http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/t2-v6-3-6-2010-has-2-oil-filters-44423.html Underbody Water Noise http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/underbody-water-noise-44403.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:01:02 GMT Just purchased a 2005 V8 with 42K miles and love it.

Brought it home yesterday and noticed a sloshing sound coming from underneath the drivers side when coming to an abrupt stop. I quickly ran inside and did a quick search and found the answer in this forum (thanks). I removed two of the plugs under the drivers side and sure enough out comes about half a gallon of water. I took the forward most plug inside to clean it as it has some type of draining mechanism. Regardless, I would like to purchase new drain plugs for both sides. Anyone know if these are sold?

when I turned on the air con yesterday with full fan, it sounded like the fan suddenly died of. The display still showed full bars, but I couldn't hear the blower or feel any air. After turning it off and waiting a few minutes it worked again.

Problem occurred once again later so far.

A day before I had the brake pressure thrust sensor G 201 replaced which is on the brake cylinder. I was wondering if it could be related.

Just seems incidental that it happens now.

VAGCOM comes up with "Defroster Flap Positioning Motor Fault".
Anyone know what that means and what that thing does? ]]> Judgement http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/defroster-flap-positioning-motor-44369.html Rear Seat Power Outlet http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/rear-seat-power-outlet-44366.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:26:10 GMT My '05 Treg's rear passenger power outlet door wont open with the intergated spring closure.
