Hello all! I currently have a 2008 VR6 Touareg with 172k miles on it and have recently discovered the valve body harness is permeating ATF from my transmission into my TCM. It was discovered while I was trying to diagnosis a no-start condition from water entering the drivers footwell two months...

Hi all, just picked up a 2009 VR6, has only 113k on it and I bought knowing that the transmission had some issues. Had assumed it was a valve body, as the seller stated as such and gave me the number to the Mechanic he uses. Gave the mechanic a call and he confirmed it, but also was nice...

I just purchased a Touareg with transmission problems for very very cheap, and I had a few questions. I am experiencing no gear changes in drive, for example when accelerating after I hit about 15-17 mph when it feels like I'm about to shift instead its like I have gone into neutral. I also have...

Hi, I need to replace the valve body of gearbox of my R5 TDI (year 2005), but I can't find anything fitting on any autoparts sale site. It seems there are a lot of replacements for V6 and V8, but R5 is hard to come by. Any suggestions? Maybe correct Part Number or any online shop selling it...

Hi all, seems like this topic has been beaten to death, but I don’t see anyone with a similar experience. I have a 2004 4.2. I was having occasional hard shift from 2-3 with a teeth shattering bang. So I picked up a reman valve body from Florida and installed. Did the proper fill procedure...

Hi All-- it's been some time since I've been on here. Obviously the Treg has been doing amazing things form me (had a 2011 TDI Sport when I joined and now have 2014 TDI Sport "with the fix" and with 118,000 mi; all original). What's happening is that at a full stop or when rolling at low...

Hi all, I have an issue that we have all read about before, but generally seems to be associated with the older generation T1 Tregs. About a two months ago I started to notice a hard shift (*THUD*) into 5th gear. I did a reset to see if it would improve, but it didn't seem to do much. Then about...

First Post, first issue with new car :confused: Have seen many threads discussing valve body issues, clunking gear changes, drive train bangs, body shudders, bad vibrations..... I have just experienced my first experience of drive train shock as the car changed down both on the highway and at...

I have an 04 V8 that experienced the 1 to 2 slam and occasional 5 to 4 bump. I had the VB replaced with new at the VW dealership a couple of years back. After the change I drove daily for a couple of months without issue and then one day, it hung up in 1st and then slammed into 2nd. Now it has...

Hi guys. I own 04 Touareg and like many others have transmission problem. Right now I mainly have very loud clunk/knock sound when shifting 5 -> 4. It used to clunk when shifting from other gears but not anymore. After reading it seems like my 1st step should be changing valve body? Can someone...

I started a thread earlier this week about my experience with a new OCT tune. Interestingly, the hang when shifting into 3rd is gone... Click the lnk below to read more... http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f64/oct-tune-06-v10-first-day-impression-48954-2.html#post245494
