Finally someone going make Volkswagen touareg fix vlog

Awesome. I love Touareg projects! Subbed.

I had a glove box door latch problem on my 2004 Touareg...had to peel apart the door as it is glued together...re-secured one of the two springs and re-glued the door together... getting the two release mechanisms to release the glove box door was a chore, though...bought decals for the steering wheel & AC unit...they look great too! I love my Treg! Between this channel and TFL (and others), my Touareg might be increasing in value! Thanks guys!

Reminds me of Apollo 13: "What do we have on the spacecraft that's good?" Well, the rear sunshades work... 😆 Good Luck - we'll be following!

Great video, thanks! Really wish I had found and watched this BEFORE I bought my used V8 Touareg.

Can't wait to see what after market mods you guys can do to this!

I have an 06', my second T Rex. Love them. Got lots of special tools and years of experience now. They do have a handful of issues and very common failure points. Can't wait to see your progress and jobs

Had my 04 V10 for 7 years now and I still love it

You guys are awesome, keep up the good work!

Stumbled on this video because I recently found '06 Touareg for sale here, feels very, very solid (only driven 60 k milies) when I drive it, but I have heard about the running cost. I am annoyed of how much I want it, but at the same time it ticks all the boxes of what I want in an SUV. I will be looking forward to seeing upcoming videos of the Touareg :)

Thanks for sharing your experience. Cheers.

I had an 04 4.2, I guessed every issue. They all do the same thing lol. Absolute monsters in blizzards, great to have them for sure. Never had an engine issue though. Bet it has a battery drain on the cable harness.

Nice project, fellas - happy wrenching! 💪🏻👍🏻

I had a skoda octavia with 1.9 TDI 90HP / ALH engine with 870000 km on board. I sold it to a friend. No rust, no problems and good compression. Probably the best engine ever build by VW.

That door handle was the first thing to break in my Touareg lol

Then tackle the V10 TDI. That would be amazing.

Looking forward to this build.

Try sourcing those roof bar keys through Thule. My OEM VW roof bars for my MK4 didn't come with keys so I ordered pre-cut keys with the same numbers on them as the lock cylinder and it worked out perfect!

I want one of these so bad, i don’t know why. I am excited to see this series

You guys are nuts, but this will be great content. If you can make it work...

I can’t wait let’s go!!!!

Fantastic video!

That mirror button is not snapped off, that's how the shaft under the knob is shaped, it is just missing a knob.

Awsome car. Cant wait to see more

Very nice project!

Absolute beast in the snow

Cool new project.

Leak in the trunk is most likely the hatch spring cover on either side. The black plastic cover has a seal that goes bad and easy fix. All those buttons are easy to fix. Take them off, dip in acetone, clean, spray black and apply new sticker that can be found on Ebay.

Looking forward for more Touareg repair videos

Man.. bet it rides like a charm but oh boy when it comes to repairs it really digs into your pocket 🤭 notifications on 💯

Regarding the roof rack keys. The locks are from Thule and you can purchase from them. Unless they discontinued somewhat recently. I bought a set from them two years ago for my 05 V6 with the same rack. I think I paid $20 for two keys.

the newest trend all over the web.. people buying the cheapest *blank* they can find and fixing it.

That's crazy I know where you bought this in Franklin NC that's awesome!

Im not really a car guy, but this was rather interesting, will definitely be following up on this build

I bought one last year an 2005 4.2 same color picked it up for 2700 had a few issues put 5200 in for work lol body is perfect shape put new tires, brakes , rotors, control arms/w bushings ball joints, new starter, cylinder head work had bent valves , timing tentioners, put new fuel injectors, coils, sparkplugs new cats I replaced all while motor was out 1 had a small leak at flange just did all I bought as a project and just been going through it only 1 issue left!

The Touareg is how I grew hair on my chest. All my years at VW, these were the cases I would get. Funnest one I got was a VR6 no crank no start. Was the alarm siren connector flooded with water. Shorting the body can lines into single wire mode. Good times!

Just like TFL guys, Paul you have to one up them with a sick off-roader lmao😀

I salute your bravery team. I think it's bravery. ..

I sold my V8 Touareg and the door pulls are plastic and breaks off fairly easy. The rear hatch switch will develop a short in the switch no matter what you do. We could never fix the leaky sunroof drains. And last but not least. An electrical issue with the brakes. Still stopped 99% of the time. Overall never got stuck and would get another one.

ROOF BAR KEYS the 3 digit number is normally prefixed by the letter N, they are in Europe, they can be cut to code by your locksmith on a Silca LF12 blank

'You guys' got a good deal no doubt because you have much deeper pockets but I would have avoided this....im fully tuned in tho,notifications on!

I just bought an 04' with 160k and needed a hangar and possible timing chain noise. 200 bucks. I can't wait.

Looks exactly like the one from TFL truck lmao

“Often times people get pounded into the ground with payments” yup. Young & insurance won’t let me just buy a a new car. I’ve put 28k of repairs into my tdi but she’s never left me stranded. Going strong at 300k km!

My buddy has a 2005 V8 that is REALLY nice for sale for $500. Sounds just like this.

Wow! Based on the comments here I should've gotten my Treg videos up a long time ago, time to get them posted I guess? We did an entire shade tree engine/transmission swap in one and it's still a bit of work in progress but it's coming along, the Treg was in such poor shape. On my other Treg we also redid all the interior labels and much of the scratched interior pieces as well, made it very livable.

This needs to be an off-road build!

Did any of these come with all three lockers or just the center and rear?? I’ve been in one really like them always wanted one,JW the diff lock selector looks like there’s options for all three lockers but only ever seen with center and rear I think.

“Sweet cam bro” haha

Almost $11000 in recent repairs and she accepted $1250, I'm guessing that's her last vw. It's almost like it was designed to be disposable. Wait until the auto transmission goes south.

We had our 04' for 14 years. 1st year quality problems, but really quite good for the remainder. never had to touch the motor in 200k miles - only replaced the plugs and belts once lol.

My only takeaway is you should only buy an old Touareg if you own a VW repair shop. Also, donk it!

Jjust got mine 06 Reg V8 with rear locker,,bad fuel pumps and the air suspension pumps out ,,found pumps 120 rebuild kit for compressor 40,,paid 400$ for her,,thing is AWESOME,,haters wil Always hate,,,,lovers ,,,love

Own a 2008 ! Classic.

"looking for a challenge..." lol

Saw a 2004 V10 in my area going for $3,000 in my area (Canada). Was at a dealer. Probably needed 10+ grand in repairs. Even with all the money that I’ve sunk in my 2005 V8, I have yet to find a car that I enjoy more for the money

I'm subscribed

Anxiously waiting , let the 🔧ing begin......

You can buy the keys for the roof rack on eBay or directly from Volkswagen! Had the same problem here in Germany and both options had the keys available!

Such a KZfaq channel stila and ideas

Water leak if because of the blocked drain holes behind the cover trim at the tailgate hinges

Touareg stuff! Nice...next the Diesel...please. From a ‘14 Tdi owner

Same like mines try to crank but won't turn over

hi all, I have a 2008 V6 Touareg and recently both of my side view mirrors stopped working. I've check the fuse boxes in the engine compartment as well on either side of the dash. And all are fine! Any idea on what might be the problem? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.

Thule do the keys for the roof rack got one very recently

These vehicles stay reliable if you maintain them. They are refined hi tech cars and deserve to be treated as such. Don't go near one if you not willing to take an interest in it and do maintenance

Sold my 06 4.2 for 2,350. 124,000mi New timing chain and tensioners. Needed brakes and had a lean code. Loved it but man don’t plan on having a wallet with money.

I have a 2006 V8 Touareg with the air ride. 130K miles. The dashboard electronics are bad. ABS light is bad. ABS is bad too. I took out the fuse to ABS. I bought it used in Florida for $6,500. I have no idea about time chain work. An oil change cost me around $1,000. I wish I could post photos here on youtube.

Have you Seen the rear rotors?

Is it the model with air suspension and all locking diffs model? I noticed no Navigation package

That door handle must be a common thing. Mine has the exact same door handle broken off. Just broke off one day with normal use.

I also have a V8 Touareg and it also has a leak in the trunk, where the spare tyre is

I am fallowing from Brasil to see how you will take care of this huge car ...

Did you buy this cause of TFL?

Hey so how is it now three years from now? Money pit? Mine was so I ended up w new Atlas R line

woow if i can afford a touareg i´d like to have a vr6. Can wait to see you working on that project, i love working on engines sepecially vw audi

I bought one of these with less miles and in running condition for 900 and flipped it for a quick 1000 bucks. You’re nuts for spending that much

Did you look for tdi version?

Im surprised is came with the engine "trim". Generally vws are opened up so often they just get thrown away.

Please post more content on this vehicle. I'm on the fence about getting rid of mine which has the cam tensioner issue and valve body solenoid problems.

The 4.2 is really reliable if properly maintained. But driving over 320.000 km without changing the chain tensioners is just asking for trouble. The way it runs it most definitely has skipped timing...

The batteries always drain, so i fitted a battery isolation switch at the base of the seat near the battery.

I can't remember the last time I bought a 'dub that ran. LoL... I just picked up a cherry 2008 Jetta 2.0T , towed it home and had it running in about 3 hours. Some cheap parts sourced from everywhere across North America and even to China to fix deficiencies and now it's my everyday driver that I'm into completely for about $1400 (includes all parts and initial car purchase) and people drool over it when it's all shined up... 6 months ago I Bought a B5 Passat 1.8t for $150 in great shape but owner thought timing belt broke.... went to his house to buy it armed with my tickle trunk of parts. paid him,got my receipt and signed over the ownership to me and 10 minutes later I was driving it away while the owner stood there just staring at me open mouthed. LoL... Checked it it out for sludge and oil coking and it was clean as a whistle. I went through the provided service invoices and found it had a new oil pickup and pump installed 2 years ago as a preventive measure and lots of routines done to it.... Did a good once over on my hoist, changed the oil and replaced the timing belt, tensioner, rollers and water pump and then sold it for $1500 a few days later to a buddy of mine. It's super easy for techs to make money making runners out of the average persons mechanical nightmare.

bump biggest tease of 2019

Hey, an unrelated question to the video (if you guys can get to this.) I have a facelift 2019 GTI and I'm thinking of replacing the blow off valve. Can I add both the blow off and diverter valve on mine, or does it have to be one or the other??

if I would have owned an elevator at home, I'd be all over older beat up cars😂 fixing them up

Still have my 05 v8 and little by little it’s got some issues but a quick expensive fix ehhh I got it 4 years ago 60k it’s at 130k we been through a lot together

can the head be removed in the car?

I thought V8 Tregs had a timing belt? Anyways. If you want a beast offroader SUV you bought the right one. I used my V10 TDI offroad daily and its absolutely unstoppable.

$870 to change mass airflow sensor?! Holly crap!!

0:58 nice tribeca

I encountered the same problem with missing roof rack keys with my ‘04. You don’t have to change them out. Contact Thule and you can get two keys for ~$5 and save some money overall.

Did you all buy the TFL Truck Touareg ??? Why not get the V10 TDI for towing ???

stick some seafoam in it and drive it til it quits 😂

I'm getting a code for transfercase p02053 and the console nob is blinking every now and then I'll get a rough down shift upon stopping has brand new battery! Any idea? I appreciate the imput

Same reason I got rid of my 4.2 L Q7... 2 years and $8,000 later ✌🏼let the next guy worry about it

Hello master l need Some help l have a 2006 Touareg v6 completely dead the start motor dead nothing noise battery 12 volts thanks l never worked with this kind of vehicles advise.

These cars styling has aged well though that’s the only thing I think that’s aged well on any of these

I hate how the trim and buttons are peeling off
