Took my 2012 TDI into an indy VW/Audi shop here in Austin, Texas for a post buy inspection a few months after purchasing the vehicle. They found a leak in the rear main seal as well as seepage in the rear differential output flange. After a quick search I realized both of these items were...

Starting a thread to see how many folks upgrade the size and look of their Tregs by changing the wheels. I just got a set of 22” 911 Turbo design wheels and absolutely love the way the car looks. It also raised the height of the ride a bit, so it feels different. Just got it done today so still...

New to the group. I am looking at a 2012 TDI, which has a 4/48 VW Emissions warranty. Says it covers the turbo, and upon pre-purchase inspection, the mech said it has a "Turbo boot" oil leak at the intake. Would this be covered? Cost to fix if not? Thanks so much. Everything else is good on...

I've just had a new turbocharger installed into my 2008 Touareg R5 TDI. The old one was replaced, because it triggered a CEL and went into limp mode. The dealership told me the turbo needed to be replaced - but I'm not sure any more whether that was really the case. The fault code was "P0299 -...

Hi all, First post here but have been lurking for a while. Have had a 2007 Facelift (7L6) 3.0 V6 TDI with 165,000kms. Purchased used from a dealer at 115,000km and grabbed an extended used car warranty which the car is still under so I have some hope of getting out of this lightly. The...

Hi all, I tried to find and answer through the search results but since my question is a bit specific I would like to ask anyway to make sure: I have a 2005 V10 with 136.000 km, one of the turbo's was replaced by the previous owner at 86.000 km (almost 5 years ago) so it has a bit over 50.000...

Hi all, I just had my 75KM service completed, and on the comments section the dealer wrote: "turbo inlet leaking onto outlet hose. Need to replace both parts. Estimate - $480" Has anyone else had this issue, or ideas on the dealer comments? I used to do all my own work, ( a couple of engine...

Hi All, Just putting a few (or many) words together about my experience with my current 2007 v10 tdi. Just to give you a bit off history I lived in the USA between 2007 and 2008 where I owned a 2004 V8 touareg with all the options available. I loved it, however after about 8 months of ownership...
