Hi I have a 2004 v10 I'm getting a electrical consumer is turned off and then 5 min or so air con turning off. Any ideas please would be great... Thinking its probably some thing wrong with the air con but were do you start !! Pump ,fan, switches . I don't know

Don't think its related but I've been having gear box probs too . I tow a 3 ton caravan and one trip it started to shutter taking off first 2 gears for half a hour or so the stopped doing it. Was fine but out of the blue it neutralized , I pulled up stopped the engine started up again and has not done anything re gear box again for weeks now. Did here that it could be a wiring plug in the gearbox. Any ideas. Thanks mark

Hi Mark
First up change your post heading from your name to a title that fits your issue thru the edit feature.
Very hard to provide info without a scan, short term if your not far from home have a scan done by a local if possible and post it here.
Long term if you plan on keeping the V10 you have to get a VCDS cable no ifs or buts it is an essential tool for Touareg owners.

Like to help but need clear info.

Regards
Drag

New battery perhaps should help fix some of the issues, obviously scan first, aux battery test....

Thanks Drag Yer I will change that . sorry new to all this stuff . not long brought the beast there a very different car then I'm used to !! Had a v8 explorer before . now what's this VCRs cable thing you mentioned.
Is it a diagnostic tool ?
I'm have it booked in to vw in orange NSW for GPS problems ( I'm driving in the sea between Australia and NZ ) weard. So I get a test done there I suppose

Link to cable. I believe you can get them from a supplier in Sydney also?
I got mine direct from Ross-Tech.
Ross-Tech Store: VCDS License with HEX-USB+CAN Unlimted VIN (All VAG)

VW will charge a fortune for the fault diagnosis.
Are handy with tools?
If so save your money at VW, pay for the cable and post on here and use the wealth of knowledge available.
What Nav system do you have I mean is the factory or aftermarket?

Thanks
Singh Yes it has a new battery only a few months ago

Both batteries?

Drag Yes I'll love the grunt its got so I'm keeping it.. Yes I will get that tool I'm OK with the tools. The car has the genuine GPS Satnav 510 .. The pointer arrow is in the sea and just has Canberra on the Australia map.

Singh. Hey both battery's ? Know of the one under passage's seat but other one didn't know about,, old owner told me new battery was put in a week before I got it under seat.

Drag. On the GPS I did the factory reset thing and the hold arrows and star at the top of set but no change.

If it is an RNS510 unit it will not work without a canbus decoder.
The dealer will not be able to supply you any answers.

Post a photo of the unit?

For what i know those errors should relate to battery under the seat that drives consumers. If thats replaced with the correct one- its big alright, then do check the one under the boot

 

[mark little]

Drag OK I'll try the pick but I think it is what you said rns510 sorry can't work out how to put a pic on it all I can say is 4 buttons down each side and 2 knobs on the bottom , on / off on left knob.

Singh. Yes I found the battery under the spare it is a new lion battery was a little low on water but OK . I did notice the volt s are sitting at 12 v at idle and up to 13v rev up but drops and stays at 12v when the aircon is on ..

Voltage should be steady at 14, you do have a problem for sure then.
Check battery under seat- is it the right spec/condition.
Lion battery, i stick with original or equivalent

 

[mark little]

Singh. OK I'll get back to you I don't have the right torque for the front bolts on the seat at home I'll get the right one and talk later. Thanks for your help.

 

[mark little]

Drag. What is a canbus decoder ?

You will also need the right 10mm triple square bit to remove the seat bolts, see:

Photo of an RNS510 all the buttons should be labelled the same description as this, there are a few Chinese clones out there.

that's not right it should sit at 14v when running and not move.

I have this unit and it is fantastic.
Very few other suppliers world wide.
Do not buy the Kufatec unit as it has limited function.
