Hey guys, Has anyone managed to fit a front mount intercooler on a T3 TDI? I've seen the thread with the W2A intercooler and found a Russian video for an A2A but they're both on T2. Is there any issue with removing the standard intake piping (namely the Y piece)? I seem to remember there's a...

Hi Members hoping someone can assist me. Our 2007 Touareg BKS engine started going into limp mode 2 weeks ago and clearing faults itself without car restarting. Lately it remains in limp mode until car is stoped and ignition is switched off. I read the faults and the following faults are...

Hi friends. I hope you had a lovely Christmas. I certainly didn't... My Treg has a fault code, Intermittent turbo control unit fault. I had my laptop in the car while on the move, and when I deleted the fault code, a slight increase of engine power could be noticed, but then fault code again...

Hi. My Treg started to manifest some problems with the left hand side turbocharger. Some times it just cuts both of the turbos, only because of the No.2 turbo faulty code, and when it is an active error, even the output test cant move the control motor. When I fiddle around the connector and...

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 -...

V10 turbo problem continues: left side control module was almost permanently frozen until I cleaned both MAP sensors. Both turbos worked for one evening and no smoke but lots of oil in boost hoses. After cleaning back to normal and but started to smoke next day and turbo problem intermittently...

Hi, I'm just after some advice. We have a 2008 TDI 3.0 V6 touareg which has been a great vehicle until recently. It's just clocked over 200,000km's, in the past 6 months we have had to replace the turbo, DPI sensor and now it's going in on Tuesday for a EGR replacement. This has all...

I have just acquired a 2005 R5 TDI. The following problems occur, not every day and not all together, any ideas? Will battle to start, even when hot. Some days smokes badly when idling, next day nothing. long delay before responding after depressing accelerator. Unusual gear changing. Turbo...

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...

Hi , me and my brother just bought 2 2.5TDi touaregs, mine is 2007 and his is 2008 (with only 57,000 km). He just took his on a trip and after a couple of hour and at high altitude the oil light went on and the engine went into safe mode (it would only rev up to 2000rpm). He stopped and cheked...
