The CP3s are older versions and they won't be VAG PNs... You'll be looking at Bosch and GM part numbers and "retrofitting" stuff if you want to go down this path

If you have the fixed 2014-2016 you have 100k mi/10yr warranty on the fuel system and the emissions equipment. You might get a new engine if the thing bows. Havung the right techs is everything with this beast. I'm lucky to have 2 dealers one north and one south that know what they are doing. So far I've had few issues to deal with my 2 TREGS. This is not a car for a get in and drive person,so keep that in mind. You need to spend some time to get acquainted with a diesel vehicle.

I will probably, if I get my car back, go down the maintenance route rather than retofit a CP3 unless it's not complicated. Looks like I'd need a few parts to make it work. I might rather run this new pump for 50K miles and replace it. Checking sensor screen might be another proactive exercise.

If I go Cp3 route, I'd want to have all the parts in a kit and be done. I really don't have much time to fab a plate and what not to make it fit.

The biggest problem I foresee for the US market is that the Touareg is no longer part of the VW offering and the technician knowledge base will inevitably be reducing too as time goes on (assuming that the knowledge base was actually there in the first place which, from various reports on here about dealer experiences, may well be an assumption too far!).

I’m going to sell my 2013 tdi because of this. My local independent VW guy says he can’t afford to send his technicians for touareg training because they only see a couple a year. I had a warranty issue and was not able to get an appt for over a week. I just don’t have time or patience for this. Love the car tho. I wish I had more mechanical ability.

Dealers are worthless IMO. They are clueless of these cars. There are probably a few mechanics still within VW that know these well, dealers that see a lot of them, like in Denver for example.

TheChunknorris · May 29, 2019

Maybe I'm spoiled but there are tons of independent diesel shops in Miami that work on VW TDI's if there is something you don't want done outside the dealer.

alfissimo · May 29, 2019

I am sure where I am in San Diego, there are plenty of indie's that can work on these. I am actually looking for a porsche specialist with diesels. Dealers on the other hand suck. All of them. If non-warranty I will take to indy when that time comes or do it myself.

I completely understand. I have an extended warranty on mine and I bought a 2015 Lux with 24k on the ODO so luckily I haven't had any other problems that forgetting my T3 is diesel and driving to the wrong pump...

I might be spoiled too. Original owner with 132k on my 2015 TDi Exec and have had excellent dealer service/support throughout. Have had a couple NOx sensors go bad; covered under the warranty. Have had to do a regen 2x on DPF which cleared Cat & EGR codes. Have a 24ft enclosed car hauler which I've pulled 2000 miles at a time, moving my son to/from college, as well as numerous shorter trips. Apartment stuff and a nominally street legal '86 3-series that's lived a wonderful, hard life; so the Treg has pulled ~5k lbs at ~75mph for hours. I stay on top of recommended service. I try to use fuel from stations that see lots of inventory turnover. Most diesel I purchase is Canadian (Irving), because I'm in the Northeast and they're everywhere. I've stopped trying to get 700 miles out of every tankful and started using additive because of all the HPFP heartache I've seen on this site. I did pick up a VCDS tool as well. Several of the dealer techs have Tregs, and there are TDi's all over the place here, so there's both considerable interest and (at least at 'my' dealer) talent. Sure, life will happen and an HPFP fail would ruin my day, but my intent when I bought it was to get 4-500k or more out of it.

No issues

60,000 miles on my Exec TDI 2015. No issues. All service at the dealer - they have plenty of experience with Touareg's and TDI's. I also have the fidelity 7 year/100,000 mile warranty (just in case)...

Adblue is needed more often since the software "fix" but I get that for free at the dealer.

You probably won't have any issues except wear issues. These cars are awesome until they are not and the dealer works on it. What the forgetfulness!!

I never pumped regular gas but damn... still need to remind myself it's a TDI.

I'd avoid it. I have had no issues with mine until the High pressure Fuel pump fiasco of 2019. This company will put you through some misery if it fails. Which it will. I knew this but was doing preemptive stuff to make sure it did not happen. When it finally did, I was stuck far from home and now they are stating other issues that they want me to pay for. Could be thousands of dollars. Buy another brand. The vehicle itself is great but if something serious happens it's a mess. I believe VW is trying to screw all it's loyal TDI owners which they are. I have heard other stories, I am not alone. VW is claiming now timing chain may have broke. Hmmm. 0 tolerance motor...= $$$$. Car was fantastic before the fuel pump exploded which you may or may not know is what everyone states "a ticking time bomb". Why bother this this non-sense? I'd look elsewhere. Most will talk you into it here. Biased I suppose. Be careful.

Go get a land rover or by a V10 instead or a jeep or anything else.

I'd agree that putting all Treg's in one box , just because you've had a certain experience would be a bit of an overstatement.

Not all TDI Treg's are ticking time bombs! Many of us here on this forum are enjoying our Treg's on going at some pretty impressive mile markers, and are not even expecting a fuel pump failure! I for one would not consider trading mine for a jeep or anything else in hopes to avoid a major expense. I'm personally at 170k with my 2013 treg. None of us can guarantee what the future holds but love our Treg;s and drive happily in faith

"Ticking Time Bombs" are not my words but words of others. I have 135K miles on mine with no issues. Until the HPFP. It's a big expense, of course in VW this time. Next time, I might be out of warranty. So if you buy a TDI get an extended that covers the fuel system and pump. I was happily driving as well and had nothing but good things to say about this car, again until the HPFP and the issues happening with the car now and how VW is dealing with it.

Might be a bit of an overstatement but until it happens you're in your own little bubble because it will happen, it's inevitable with a CP4 HPFP.

NO problem my friend... if I'm driving in my own little bubble ...

, I'll happily motor on. Once your so called "inevitable" happens, I'll confess my ignorance to all of you! Till then ... I'll enjoy my ride.

Typical mindset of most.

Enjoy your ignorance!

My ticking time bomb (2010 Touareg TDI) just went off at 147K miles. I wasn't aware of the HPFP issue until this week. I replaced my fuel filter ~15K miles ago never mis-fueled. And then it just stopped running. stopped. no codes. I'm doing the repair myself, but it is very unsettling wondering what will go next.
