My 2004 v6 Touareg is stuck in 3rd gear, there is no vw dealership in this part of the world. I took the car to a local mechanic he used a vagcom to reset the system and everything was fine for a while and then the same problem again. Would appreciate if any one can help.

How hard was it to change and how much did it cost?
This forum is such a blessing! I have found solutions for almost every problem. In my country there is no VW dealer and i have to rely on local mechanics who have very little knowledge about Touareg. With this forums help i guide the mechanic who then fixes the problem.
For the entire harness change it costed me about $70

It just took a couple of hours for the mechanic to change the wiring harness and it costed me about US$ 70 including labor

Today, while I was driving the Treg I noticed a hard UPshift from 4th to 5th....Then going uphill the car wouldn't downshift at all...I tried tiptronic...same, it wouldn't change gears...since I was going really slow the car felt like it couldn't continue going uphill in fifth so I stopped on the side and turned the car off....I started her up immediately hoping for a reset and it shifted normally ever since...Could this be the beginning of something similar to this thread's topic?

Valve body/chest.

The valve chest issue normally manifests itself with a huge THUMP going from 5th to 4th just as you move from a light trailing throttle at about 35-40 mph to giving the accelerator pedal a slight squeeze to gently maintain speed as you meet an incline.
The THUMP is so big it scares the living daylights out of you as you think the gearbox has just fallen out of the car!
The valves stick briefly in the worn body of the valve chest and the delay mistimes the gear change thereby causing the THUMP.
Try doing a gearbox reset.
Turn the ignition on.
Do NOT start the engine.
Press the accelerator to the floor and hold it there firmly for 10 seconds.
Release the pedal.
Turn the ignition off.
Regardless I would put the car on VCDS [as you always should anyway before doing a gearbox reset] to see if any faults are recorded.

I'did the throttle reset about a thousand miles ago, I'll put the car on VCDS today to see if there's a log about this incident...I don't think it's a valve/chest issue...my 5th to 4th DOWNshifts are buttery smooth....

Update...I put the bt elm327 obd2 adapter and looked for error codes with the Torquepro app....no errors were stored in the ECU....so it could have been a one time occurrence....
I know this is an old thread, but I am having the same symptoms on my 2008 Treg. Does anyone have the part number for this T14e harness? Called VW parts and they can't find anything. Anyone have a part number or a photos showing which connector/harness it is? Thanks
