Can anyone help me figure out what to do about these fault codes? I still have a bit of extended warranty left but honestly Volkswagen doesn't seem to go digging for issues especially if it's under warranty. Here are the codes I got!
Thanks!

Hey- If anyone one of you all could tell me what they think is behind these fault codes or what I should do about them I'd appreciate! I still have a little bit of extended warranty left. Thanks!

Looks like an issue with the EGR throttle body. As stated, clear the codes and go for a good drive then rescan.

Forget fault codes for a second. How does it drive? Clear the codes and then scan it again.
Okay good question!!! Here is the real issue about the drive.
There is some kind of ball joint, cv joint, control arm/bushings, steering linkage, or tie rod ends. I don't know enough myself to figure out what it is. could it be the joint at the bottom of the steering column? I don't know for sure. Something is up though because it's driving sloppy. I'll clear the air here too if anyone can really help me with this. I have the alignment done, wheels have been road force balanced and all are good tread and good tires. All wheel air pressure is good.
Here's the symptoms:
  • somewhere under the vehicle or in the steering or joints the Touareg has got the feeling like it's coming up and out of a joint sometimes on side streets. I don't know how else to describe this. It just makes the car feel unbalanced often enough on side streets.
  • I can feel a bit of a "clicking" and play in the steering wheel. Especially when i first start the vehicle and I go to pull away. When i move the wheel i'll hear and feel small like click here and and click there. It's not normal.
  • when i park (especially on a hill) there is a lot of play afterwards where the vehicle rocks back and forth. Like a joint is broken and it's just got a lot more play than usual after i put it in park. (70% of the time).
  • There is some "rubbing" or "grinding" sort of feeling sometimes when i make right hand turns (vw is trying to tell me that this is characteristic of the vehicle). I've had some people say they thought it sounded like a CV joint.
  • and finally when i'm driving over uneven terrain (like on the highway or just anywhere that the road is smooth but the tires are driving over roads that have all kinds of different slopes or dips..... or usually in the middle of changing lanes on the highway there is a change in level of road between the slope they create to help drain water off the road I'm not talking about bumpy off-roading here, just to clarify.
    • This sort of scenario makes my touareg feel like it's getting pushed around the road. I can feel it way more on the steering wheel than usual and the steering also just generally feels much more sloppy than before.
If anyone can help me diagnose this I would greatly appreciate it. I'll like, subscribe and click on post notifications for your youtube channel. Whatever you want!. Anything I can do to show my gratefulness! In all honesty i've brought this into Volkswagen before regarding this issue and my experience is that Volkswagen shrugs these kinds of problems off for as long as they can while the customer is in warranty. I still have a bit of warranty left. There was something wrong before and now it's getting worse with the clicking in the steering wheel symptom. 🤘

Okay and if it came back do you think that would be something VW would have to address under warranty? I still have warranty on this for 6 more months..... plus i technically still have the emission extended warranty and that includes several things regarding the egr. I would just like to see Volkswagen live up to their word on their warranty because so far my experience is that they have not for me.
 
Yes the warranty or extended warranty cover any part of the OBD system and issues that cause the CEL.
 
I have seen VW reject warranty claims on issues that didn't trigger an actual CEL. Whether they should have is different from how much energy wants to expend holding their feet to the fire.

That said, the issues described while driving seem to be mechanical more than electrical or emissions related.
My first inclination would be to remount the wheels following the detailed method VW publishes. You should have a pin in the back with your tool set.

One of the local dealerships rotated my tires as a "courtesy" and then tried to talk me into rebalancing them all and then hunting down whatever was making it drive a little wonky. Since there wasn't a hint of issue before I dropped it off, I instead took it home and put it on my lift and fixed it myself (rotated them back and followed the correct procedure). I also had to buy all new lug bolts since they tightened them so much I had to get a 10ft breaker bar to remove them. So if any of that sounds like any of what you experienced start where I did and mount your wheels correctly.

Unfortunately it's not the tires because i've had VW dealer do all this work and it's improved. But the one symptom which is too obvious is that when i'm on a hill and go from park to drive or reverse there is a massive "clunk" a lot of the time and that is a clear indication that a CV joint or some other tie rod or joint is broken or deteriorated. Can anyone else help to confirm this?
 
Not the tires, the wheels due to a specific mounting procedure that I've yet to find a dealer be knowledgeable about. The dealer was the one who created my problem.

That said, if you're noticing clunking/shuddering then you need to check the CSB.

If you're referring to a clunk when you are on a steep hill that could also be the pawl in the transmission and, as far as I know, not something to be fixed. It's like a mechanical claw that latches into the transmission teeth to keep it in place, if I'm not mistaken. Mine does that, too, and the best thing I can do is hold the brake hard, put it into neutral, set the e-brake, then place it back into park when I park on my slightly inclined driveway.

The clunking that I am getting is more of a joint problem. I can feel something uneasy or shifting in the joints and it's probably putting a lot of pressure on that PAWL thing you are referring to there. But I also think the CV joint or maybe even the differential (front or middle or rear) is off.
 
The CSB I referred to stands for Center Support Bushing. I've read it can be a problem on the Tregs, although I don't know which models/years. My experience with them comes from the old BMW days. They'll present a shudder like you're describing when they're going out...and then things get squirrel-ey when they finally go.

If you do some searches on that topic around here you might be able to compare the description to see if it matches what you're experiencing.
