I had a confluence of events whereby by two batteries and key all went bad about the same time. New battery in key and then brand new batteries front and rear. As the batteries were failing all sorts of odd lights and other warnings were happening, including the alarm going off while car was...

I am trying to access the compressor relay on the E-box that is located next to the console under the dash. I can see it from the bottom but I don’t have enough room to push the release tabs to pull it down. Has anyone found an easier way to access this before I contemplate pulling the entire...

I bought a 05 V6 Touareg for my daughter's first car and it drove OK briefly after purchase (I did notice it would struggle after 4000 rpm but I dismissed that). So I filled it up with gas, then I could barely make it home - the engine kept bogging and I had to keep goosing and restarting until...

Hello All, I just bought a 2006 Touareg. Upon getting it home I noticed that all the front speakers were dead except the front center. I tested the voltage outputs and all channels were putting out. I changed the amp anyhow to another used one and had zero sound still. I hear absolutely nothing...

Hi, I am low on options, so I thought I would post this here. I'm looking to hire someone (preferably someone who has had experience installing one of these) in the OC / LA area to install my wiring harness for the tow package. My treg didn't come with a tow package installed (ie, no...

OK, I just joined the forum this morning. We're a long-time VW family, but making our first foray into Touareg. We found a 2005 V8 for a GREAT price, but she needs some help. Just got it home Saturday, but here's what I know so far: 1. When we start the car, we get the "System Fault -...

I am in the process of importing my Touareg 2014 from US into Sweden, where the car is already located. The inspection requires modifying the tail lights to European standard which means that the directional tail lights should be amber. The VW dealer declared unable to perform this. The Euro...

Hey everyone, Ive owned the treg for a few years but I am new to the sight. Recently I had the passenger side headlight go dead. and then the dash lit up with almost every light imaginable. I changed the headlight unit, ballast and all, but its still dead. The car works but occasionally will...

So, first off let me say I love my Touareg... but, a couple months after I bought it the front door speakers (drivers and pass) would stop working for a week or two then would work for a month, and then repeat. And, when they did work, when the car was turned off, they would randomly "pop" a...

I have a 2006 V6 Gasoline Touareg, love the heck out of it, but recently, a "thump' sound has presented itself each and everytime it sits after killing engine...and you can hear about 5 or 6 "thumps" from the speakers, like portions of the vehicle are shutting down. Each morning...when...

I replaced the alterator/battery B+ cable ($10 from ECS Tuning) on my 2004 V8 with air suspension. Took me about twenty-something hours to complete and I wanted to share some helpful tips for anyone else tackling this job: 1. The nut on the alternator is 13mm. I had to use a craftsman max...

I was asked to install 16inch LED strips onto a family member’s 2008 touareg 2. I have a jetta and I did it by splicing into the day time running lights from the headlight harness. I was going to do the same with the touareg but I don’t know the mapping for the wires on the harness. The person...

I got a chance to test the TREG's AWD capabilities a couple of weeks ago when we had a light snow here in the south. Unfortunately, on the way to work, instead of the tire pressures showing in the display, I see a Consumer's Electronics message. Then I noticed the battery symbol illuminated and...

Ok, looking for some help here . . . A couple days ago the alarm on my 2005 Touareg went off without cause. The remote wouldnt work to disarm the alarm and the lock on the trunk hatch would not stop revolving. The alarm fianlly went off a minute or so after putting the key in the ignition and...

This afternoon I went to connect my utility trailer to my "new to me" Treg. The trailer lights wouldn't work. Searched the manual and it states that trailers with LED lights may not be recognized. I've tried three different 4 pin converters and a light bulb circuit tester and they all do the...
