Thank you for doing this. I look forward to posting mine when I get the car back from the body shop next week. Was rear ended 40 days after I bought the car🙄

Any audible starting noise\rattle?

I pick my car up from the shop today or tomorrow. Mine definitely has a ~.25-.5 second rattle on turnover. 2016 TDI / 33K miles

On cold starts, you'll get that.... I wouldn't sweat it.
If it keeps up after the first initial few seconds, then I'd start paying attention to it and possibly checking the phase position more frequently. Either way, you've got lots of dieselgate warranty left over, so no need to stress over it much at this point.

agreed! And yeah it’s less than a half a second, I’ve never heard the sound continue. And the cars in-service was 5/2019 so my factory PT goes to 5/2029 + 100K and dieselgate to 5/2029 + 120K. Crazy amount of factory warranty on this 6 year old beast.

I chose it because someone on here said “buy the best/newest Touareg with the most warranty you can afford.” Also, White over Terra Cotta TDI Exec and 21” Mallories😛

sorry, back to the program...

Your factory powertrain goes from date of manufacture

of course😔. Thank you for clearing That up. Now I know I am more time limited than mileage limited.

No more rattle now then since diesel 'fix' over 100k ago.

inyeresting, you’re OG owner and you’ve done 210K in 7ish years. So you’re a highway warrior. Kinda proves the point how well these do over time when used for their purpose

If I think about this tomorrow, I will share what a 2000 mile set of chains on a CATA looks like. Mine went 401000 before I changed my chains

400K miles on a 7P CATA ? that is encouraging. Are you the original owner?
