  1. Off-Roading & Towing
    Hey all, first post here. I spend most my time on TDIClub and Miata.net - so the big SUV/towing world is very new to me. This topic has been beaten to death.. but I'm thinking of picking up a Touareg for towing my NA Miata to events, or using it to pick up cars out of state. I'm conflicted...
  2. Off-Roading & Towing
    When towing my caravan I get two errors on my innovation screen. VW Touareg launch edition 2019. Side assist unavailable and rear traffic alert unavailable. Anyone tell me what's causing this? Thanks for any assistance.
  3. General Maintenance & Repair
    Greetings, I'm seeking advice regarding a electrical problem in a customer's 2016 VW Touareg V6. As a specialist in Nissan/Infiniti vehicles, Euro models are a bit outside my usual realm, so I'm hoping to tap into the collective expertise of this forum. The issue arose when the customer...

    2015 Executive TDI — CEL code came on today as I was going to pick up our camper to ready it for a camping trip with our daughter's family this weekend. Code is for the Ad Blue tank temperature sensor. Still under warranty. Three different dealer service reps cannot agree on whether it is...
  5. Off-Roading & Towing
    Im currently looking for a car that would be able to easily tow horseshoeing rig. Test drove a 2016 V6 Lux touareg, and really enjoyed it. I know a few people in the industry that have them for their rigs as well, and love them..... however, theirs are diesel, and the only models i've found in...
  6. Off-Roading & Towing
    I’ve read post after post about towing but have not found the real world experience advice I’m looking for. We have a 2015 Touareg Executive TDI. We have been towing a 21 foot, 3000 lbs. dry weight Wolf Pup for four years, towing some 40,000 miles with that combination—as far east as Nova Scotia...
  7. Off-Roading & Towing
    I've been shopping exclusively for 2016-17 Touaregs (USA), and I'm having trouble with all the 'tow module' info floating around. I've looked at one vehicle that had the "tow hitch / ball mount / 7-pin connector" on the Monroney sticker, but did NOT have any tow-related codes on the build sheet...
  8. Brakes, Steering, Suspension, Wheels and Tires
    Hi, I'm looking to buy some new tires for my 2012 that have a load index of at least 115. 120 would be nice. But I'm struggling to find any from my standard local retailers. Is there a site that I'm missing? Just purchased a 27 foot jayco and looking to tow it soon! Want to ensure that tires...
  9. Diesel Engines | R5, V6, V8, V10, R50 TDI
    2016 TDI North American - stock setup. Tow about 2/3 of the interval and will be storing the vehicle for several months. Oil change coming due. Should I change before putting into storage, or right away when I'm ready to take it out of storage. Only 30k miles on the engine, so it's still...
  10. Off-Roading & Towing
    Hey gang, I need some assistance to get up and towing. I’m trying to source all the components to install a tow package on my 2013 Touareg. This is the last part that I can’t seem to find (7P1055203). Are there any alternatives under different part numbers or through Audi/Porsche that I am...
  11. Off-Roading & Towing
    I'm planning on towing a 5x8' uhaul trailer next week. In prep I decided to test my factory (or at least I think) installed harness. My TDI came with the tow package. I bought one of those little light testers that plugs into the flat 4 pin connector. My issue is that it's only showing my...
  12. Off-Roading & Towing
    What kind of electrical plug-in is behind 7L0803593? Took off that cover plate and found something different than expected, but couldn't see a part number on the wiring connection in the dark. Went to tow a trailer last week and found that the wiring on my 2013 Execline didn't match the...
  13. Off-Roading & Towing
    I'm in the market for a T3 or T4 TDI and one of the choices I have to make is between a lower mileage vehicle that is known to have been used for towing and a higher mileage vehicle that has not. All other things being equal, should one discount the value of a vehicle that has been known to...
  14. Off-Roading & Towing
    I did a search and was not sure if this has been covered before and was not very sure what keywords to search for, so pardon me if this was covered already! The reason for the question: I have towed with my T1 V8 that has a simple piggyback trailer light system and was not impressed with...
  15. Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
    2016 7P V6 3.0 diesel 180kw 8sp, 73,000km I know this is a recurring theme, but thought I’d post our experience. After towing a 3.2T van for around 25,000km on a few trips our drivetrain developed a resonant groaning sound at about 1400rpm especially when loaded, that was very disturbing...
  16. General Maintenance & Repair
    Hello all, I was pulling my camper this weekend and it started too shake/rattle at about 65+ MPH the car. Further looking into it I believe it's the rear Ujoint, if I'm wrong please advise me too what it might be ( it doesn't do this unless pulling the camper as well ). Does anyone know where I...
  17. Off-Roading & Towing
    Hey guys, I just got a 2010 TDI Touareg! I'm trying to find an aftermarket hitch that's properly rated, but the only ones I keep coming across are the 6k Curt ones. For now I'm just planning haul bikes around so that's not a big deal, but down the road I want to actually be able to tow a trailer...
  18. Off-Roading & Towing
    Hi, We have recently purchased a 2020 TDI Touareg and I am wanting to know if anyone has had airbag suspension added to their vehicles for towing purposes. Has it helped with levelling the car whilst towing a dual-axel caravan? I have spoken to the dealer and they have suggested speaking to...
  19. Off-Roading & Towing
    We just got our first Treg, my Vw mech. checked the VIN and said it’s pre-wired for towing. I ordered the hitch, mount, ball, 7 pin connector. What is the best brake controller to install ? (My wife wants to start pulling big cargo trailers and is now looking at Air Streams. I may have...

    A summary of what you should expect from your Touareg when the correct towing module is installed. Happy to append to this if I have missed something! The genuine VW tow modules does the following: Disables side assist (blind spot warning - this uses part of the rear sensors) This function...
