Hi all!
I have taken a look at other posts regarding this issue for different Touareg models.
My Touareg sat with a dead battery for about 8 months now.
apparently I have left the driver’s side Window partially open about 12 cm gap
remote works/has power but it’s useless since the bat is gone
I tried fitting my arm in the window and pulling the handle from the inside.nothing. Nothing at all.
I might try pulling from both sides, see if it works.
I have tried the plastic emergency key before, never really worked. In fact, it broke one time when I was trying to pull it from the remote key socket. I think more than half of it is inside the remote, is there any way to retrieve it? Is it possible to open the whole remote key or take it apart? The spare key is also gone. I figured maybe I could copy the pattern onto a metal key.
I tried fitting an air pump and pulling, door didn’t budge.
the pad lining and plastic trim piece on the driver’s side are already gone, I have read maybe it was possible to reach the + & - terminals to charge the battery, but I personally don’t like to work with anything that requires or works with electricity.
Is it possible to open the trunk/hood lock from outside?
If I could open the trunk I could remove the seat and have the battery changed.
(As to why it sat like this for months, one day she stopped filling, ran a diagnostic with an OBD2 and there wasn’t an error of anything fuel-related except the fuel gauge -she stopped reading fuel levels a while back- and I think there might be something wrong with the parts behind the carbon canister since I installed a working one myself so I know that’s not the issue, no codes regarding the purge valve or anything, but the fact the workers kept filling to round digits even when she was full, something was bound to break)
My last resort is breaking the window or trunk glass, whichever is cheaper.
