End of the Road for the V10 Touareg

Today we finally start paring down some of the things laying around the ranch, starting with our beloved Touareg. This guy has the rare and quite fun V10 twin turbo diesel engine. Yes, 10 cylinders, two turbos from the factory in a Touareg, quite the setup. Well at this point all I want is the v10 part, so we figure out a way to get the engine out without a lift. The last time we removed the engine we dropped it out the bottom the way you are supposed to. This time we have to get creative with our gantry crane to figure out a way to remove it.
Stay tuned for a fun future project utilizing this unique powerplant!

Coming full circle. Appreciate that you are still around (and in the LR family).

Makes me miss my 08 V10 once again. This was the car that got me here, man I love those cars.

My favorite car of all time was my 2010 Toaureg TDI. Test drove a V10 that was older next to my 2010 first. Awesome cars. Pulled out a lot of Toyotas at the beach with it.

I really like the V6 TDI. That is probably a better all around engine to have especially on the daily and ease of parts/service. Plus the face lifted ones are a little nicer in my opinion. I bet yours did just fine pulling stuff around.

@LostCauseRanch It was just a Swiss army knife. Towed, good offroad, great MPG, comfortable, fast. People were amazed seeing it tow around a 27ft camper.

Can't wait to see what your plans are for that engine !

Nice Fishing spider! I had a couple living in the raised bed garden last year. Didn't have that bad of a bug problem at that time. Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses ratchet straps for lifting/pulling applications. Assemble the kid's UFC ring, set up in local mall or outside of a nail/hair salon. Charge frustrated and tired parents $5 to"watch" their kids for 15 minutes. "Watch" said kids in pairs. Take bets from bystanders......

Wow fantastic effort for a one man band and no two post lift, you really need to invest in a vehicle lift. Looking forward to seeing get the Manx back on the road, I’m sure Sasha will love the open top experience 🤣. Then is back onto the LS Defender? Keep up the great work. 😎👍

I do need to land on what I want for lifts. Would make life a tad easier. We’ll have to get some doggy goggles for Sasha.

I have always wanted a V10 I have a 3.0tdi Q7 at the moment.

The V10 is quite the experience. But I’m all reality if I were to pick one between the two for a daily driver I would do a tuned v6.

Hoping for a v10 twin turbo diesel discovery

That would be something that is for sure.

Welcome back! Did you do the ultra you were talking about? Totally jonesing that Manx!

@LostCauseRanch 18 күн бұрын

Not yet, the one I’m training for is in October. But I’ll probably toss a 50 mile race in between then, I haven’t raced in an ultra since 2021 so it’d be nice to race in a “shorter” one beforehand. That Manx is so cool, wish it was mine haha. At least I’ll get to take it out every now and then if I want.

Yeah she is over my shit I think haha. I really need to sell more than I buy for the next couple months. But like I said, my problem is I like neat things.
