  1. Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
    I have owned my Touareg since May 2021 and every time we have seen the 1000 mile warning and added AdBlue shortly thereafter, we still end up with a CEL and 200 mile warning after driving. Have yet to have this car recognize the addition of Adblue. (Heater, tank and nox sensor and temp sensor...
  2. Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
    I was thinking about doing a custom exhaust for my t3. The 3.0 TDI sounds absolutely fabulous with a straight pipe, but I was wondering if I could get away with leaving the majority of the exhaust system stock, and putting a cutout on a catless downpipe. In other words, my plans are to install...

    Hello all. I've a 2015 TDI Exec with ~80k on the odometer. Want to share this recent experience in case anyone else has similar issues: - Got a diesel particulate filter (DPF) warning message last month. Dealer had a difficult time with the diagnosis but eventually fixed the problem by...
  4. Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
    Recently my son who drives our 2014 Touareg tdi put advlue in the advlue tank under the tire. Within a few miles the car was blowing smoke and acting odd. And the alternated/battery light came on. Btw the adblue Light did not go off either. Still saying needs adblue. This was in NYC and my son...

    Hey folks, So I decided to tackle the coolant flush on my T2 2010 V6 TDI. Here in the States we have VW 50/50 premix called G40. It's the same thing as G12++ but it's premixed. I got the beast up on stands to give me clearance, pulled the lower radiator hose and drained. I then used about 5...

    Anyone know where the adblue refill opening is on a 2011 180TDI? Buggered if I can find it, later models had it under spare wheel well. It’s been making a different exhaust smell for last few months and reckon no urea being pumped into the exhaust final stage now. DPF should be fine, it’s had...

    Hi all, I've been following this forum for some time now as I've considered getting a Touareg TDI for towing abilities and the extended warranty and have had numerous VWs and Audis with good success in the past. Purchased a '12 Touareg TDI back in March with 70K miles on it and wow did I not...

    Hi, sorry I have not been following this issue here, but I'm having a problem I want to discuss or be pointed to solutions others have reached. The problem is VW Customer Care/Adblue Warranty Extension staff is now denying my request for reimbursement for the total amount of my adblue heater &...

    So to be fair, i didn't expect a yes since my Treg was purchased in Texas, then imported to Canada through Quebec and the auction system. Still, have a read: RE: Warranty Extension Ref#: 2016/11-002194 VIN: WVGFM77L39D029775 Dear Mr. Handy, Thank you for contacting Volkswagen Canada with...

    I replaced the Adblue heater in my 2012 Touareg TDI my self in the driveway this weekend. I thought I would post the procedure I used since I was unable to find a procedure specific to this model. I did my work with common hand tools without a lift. 1) Raise the back of the Touareg such that...

    My dealer-maintained, IMMACULATE 2012 TDI Lux just went in for a check engine light and the diagnosis was the AdBlue heater has gone bad. I have 51,000 all-highway miles and was surprised to learn (as are many after reading on these forums) that this part is not covered under the powertrain or...

    Searched around and it seems there is broken up info on how to do a DPF Regeneration with VCDS, is there a DIY? Tried to use 10016 in coding and that doesn't work either. I get an error message, on a licensed cable. I go into coding 2 and try to do DPF Regeneration and it will work for a bit and...

    I just had the EGR cooler assembly replaced for $1,799 this week. Also had ad blue heater replaced and exhaust heat sensor within last six months. All totaling over $4,500. This is on a 2012 TDI LUX model with 63,000 miles. Is this normal or expected? Seems like a lot of money at this stage...

    I've had the dreaded 400 miles to no restart error on the t-reg. Dealer can't connect because can bus is single wire. I pulled codes and they showed reductant pump errors, but they just called and said I filled adblue tank too soon, and threw everything out of sync. Anyone ever heard of such...

    Having just endured a total cluster mess with the local dealership and VW USA over what is and what isn't covered under the EPA mandated 8 year 80,000 mile emissions warranty (they wanted $800 to replace one of the NOX sensors at 41,000 miles) - here is the handy Q&A PDF from the EPA website -...

    Started my 2009 Touareg TDI today. Has 8K miles on it. Started it today and got the warning that Adblue low and won't restart once turned off. Being Sunday had no choice but to turn off, and of course won't restart now. Never got 1500 mile or 400 mile warning!!!!! Anyone had similar problems or...
