Hi guys - I just picked up a "New" 04 Touareg with less than 100K on it. Runs great and I have already learned a lot from your wonderful contributions. This little guy has pristine leather, ALL accessories still in their original place (except the fire extinguisher), all the electronics...

Following an old post: Consumer Electronics... Here is my question: I got the "Consumer electronics turned off". I have a new battery but have a kessy problem I haven’t addressed yet. In the meantime, I have a switch attached to the fuse to “turn off” the kessy drain. However, when I come out...

Good DAY! FIRST POST!! THANKS FOR HAVING ME! OKI ENOUGH CAPS! I'm sad to say a friend of mine killed my VW. He jumped it with a 24vt car jumper and as you all know the electronics got its butt kicked. I am selling parts to hopefully to get a down payment together to get my next one! Please...

Hi everyone, I own a 2004 R5 Touareg (230k kms / 140k miles) with the air suspension option. The air suspension has always worked superb, never had a problem or an error, from time to time I put it on off-road mode but else it usually sits on Auto mode. Monday morning when going to work as I...

Hi All, I've been battling some issues with my valve body over the last few weeks. I had the common 2-3 "clunk" but only when under heavy load and usually up significant inclines. I ordered a reman from a shop in Florida. Once I put it in, I it was shifting great when cold, but as soon as...

So after some troubleshooting I determined that my PCV valve was bad after being replaced twice. Got a fresh valve installed and noticed that my coolant was below the minimum mark. Took a drive to the local gas station to get some distilled water to mix with some G12 and upon my arrival home...

Took out fuel pumps now the center hose of the fuel pump keeps the fuel filter housing from being able to go back in place , the center pump hose is short and kinks real bad pushing up the filter housing, why? What is wrong ?

After going down too many dead end road before getting a final verdict (bad rings and/or cylinder wall in the #10 cylinder) I'm trying to sell what should have been an awesome vehicle. So disappointed it's turned out this way - sitting mockingly in the garage for longer than I ever drive it...

Hello All, Have been on the hunt for a V10tdi, however I read a lot about them and got scared a bit to be honest. I have read that for most of the time you need to take out the engine.... is this true? can someone list me what needs to go wrong to take out the engine? turbos? pumps? starter...

Hello, My car is a 2004 V6 (last 5 of VIN: 24970). It cannot pass MA state inspection because it needs a dreaded flex-pipe repair (estimates are $1700-2300). It has 140K miles. It is time for this car to go to car heaven. I am the second owner, but I have owned it since 9K miles, since...

Hi, My name is MJ and it's the end of my lil Touareg's life...2004 V6, silver blue, 140K miles. Looking for advice on how to sell it. It cannot pass inspection in MA because it needs a dreaded flex-pipe repair. Any an all advice welcome! Thank you!

Hello all, Looking for some assistance and advice regarding a non-starting and brain dead 2004 V10 (I've already read every existing thread related to this issue from start to finish). The symptoms began as intermittent non-starting: with key on only some of the dash would come to life (not...

Selling my 2004 Volkswagen Touareg TDI V10 Diesel. I'm the second owner. I've had it since 2011. It's an awesome car, and I'm going to miss it, but we have too many in our stable right now. It is 12 years old, and showing its age, but still is a blast to drive. With some mostly cosmetic TLC, it...

Hi friends I'm located in Costa Rica, and there's a bunch of stuff I need for my 2004 6V. What's the best place to buy parts online for my car? I know I'll have to figure the shipping, but I have to buy a bunch of stuff. Thanks so much! :nerd:

hi all, recently i have broken my transmission, it was driven 200km without oil and most of connectors to the transmission was melted. Local service workshops guys are telling me that it has to be replace as whole. I am ok with replacing the transmission as whole, but one of the dealers...

Hi all- I'm new here and I'm looking at a 2004 VW Touareg V6 with 97K. I understand the V6 doesn't need a timing belt- it's a chain so hopefully we're all good there. I got a copy of the maintenance history from the CarFax and there were a couple things which threw me off. The car is super...

I've seen references to updated software for the transmission computer on the early T1s. Having an 04 V10 I would assume there were some updates at some point. However, from what I see in VCDS none has ever been done on ours. Here's what the "Advanced ID" shows: If you have an 04 V10 I'd be...

I sprung on a '11 Treg- so must part with the '04. Very well maintained vehicle and it shows- The timing belt job was completed around 82k and the tires are about 2 months old. The prop/ drive-shaft is new as is the center stepper motor. Also, for the right offer- there's some extras like an...

I bought a 2004 new and have loved it both on and off road. V6, air suspension, locking rear diff, Bridgestone Revo 265/65 fairly big off-road tires, only 97k miles, excellent condition. I do use it on pretty serious 4X4 roads a couple of times a year but love being able to go where no other...
