Hi all, newbie tobith Touaregs and this forum. I had posted this earlier on VW Vortex, and someone suggested I bring it over here. Hopefully someone can help.
Context: I picked up a 2004 Touareg on the cheap at insurance auction to flip, fell in love with it, and have decided to keep it instead. Yes, I am well aware of the crapshoot nature of insurance auctions! This particular vehicle was a charity donation with a clean title, no collision, was not totaled or salvaged. I'm actually shocked I picked it up as cheap as I did!
Anyways, here's the post from vortex:
got home around 3am Sat night/Sunday morning, and my Treg was running fine; better than it had ever run, as a matter of fact. So I was completely floored when I started it Sunday evening, walked away to open gate, and it sputtered and died in me. Shocked, I tried again, staying behind the wheel to try giving it gas when it sputtered. Despite my best efforts, same thing.
I haven't run the codes w actual code reader yet. But my OBD2 tracker is telling me every cylinder is once again misfiring,
system running too lean. Which are problems I had thought (hoped?) we're solved w the new plugs and coils.
Praying this is something simple? I'm running out of money to throw at this car!! ANY help is greatly appreciated.
I do have videos of it dying on me, but I can't figure out how to make them small enough to fit here...
Thanks for reading.
