Check your fuses

so you don’t think a wire melted for nox sensor and at same time melted the seat angle adjuster wire (maybe if it’s located in the same harnness). I don’t know. Also if it’s just the fuse can you point me in the right direction to find that? I have never saw where the fuses are located on my T reg TBH.

You have no idea what you're looking or for, and @Dannyboy485 is confusing you by showing examples from him working on big transport rigs. What he has shown you doesn't exist on your vehicle.

You asked if the seat wire and NOx sensor wire were in the same harness. They are not.

You asked if one can short the other or if it's conincidental. A couple of us told you that they are unrelated.

About knowing where the fuses are... Look at your owner's manual. It should tell you where fuses can be found.

Thank-you to everyone that has given me input on this! much appreciated! I have an update from the Dealership. They are ordering new nox sensor and also replacing fuel injector leaking issue with a head gasket replacement on the bank 1 side only...( i think). They are doing it under warranty. Is there anything else I should be asking them or anything else you might that of that could also be the issue?

Yeah I thought that picture would probably have confused some people, it is from an aftertreatment system, just not a touareg. I'll refrain from using those kind of photos as unless your HD red seal you probably not understand them

I'm glad you're having it looked at and sorted by the dealership

I still like to know it all anyway. that’s how i’m learning more.

I'd start thinking about selling this lemon. If you're already needing head gaskets and injector seals at that kind of mileage, I'd take that as all kinds of red flags.

If you were more up to speed on your mech/tech/diy stuff, you might be ok, but based on what's happening now, you might regret owning this once the warranty runs out.

I don't even understand why you needed a new DPF already.

Well i have 2.5 years left of extended warranty. I will try and resolve all issues i can. I’ve maintained very well otherwise. All these issues started immediately after the emissions software was put onto it. Something probably went wrong first time they did it.I’m the only person who has ever driven it, besides mechanic.

I agree with you. Ive worked on touaregs so I knew what I was getting myself into when I bought mine. Mine was a "mechanic special" from a ford stealership and got the price down to $13k cdn otherwise I probably would have passed the vehicle up.
Apart from the emissions "upgrade"(which I haven't installed yet) repairs to put it back on the road cost me $384 so far, ford put a quote together before I even bought it for $6500.

I'm just keeping it real.... I mean, these clowns messed up swapping over a NOx sensor between the two cats... And now they are cracking your engine open... Which of these repairs do you think has a greater potential for catastrophic results if butchered?

How long are they gonna take for the repairs this time around?

That's the million dollar question. If they have misdiagnosed the NOx sensor multiple times, I wouldn't want to see what happens when they break the seal

@SaVAGeSoot @Dannyboy485
I need to edit one of the posts. I hope this changes your mind about how messed up it is.... They are replacing the valve cover gasket and fuel injector seals for bank 1. Not the head gasket as I mentioned in a previous message. Is that less risky of a repair in your opinions? Thanks.

 

[WolverineFW]

If a blind monkey....I mean stealer tech....can butcher one connector, imagine how many he will break trying to get at your valve cover

I'm fearful that they will charge him for it and then "double dip" by having it covered under warranty on top of it.
