Having just purchased a used Touareg your video are very interesting. Thanks Mike

@4:42 is my 2006 Touareg V8 same sound 162k miles. Thanks Mike.

Unhook the positive cable from the battery . Cover the post with a rag etc... so cable end can't jump back and touch the post .take jumper wire attach it to the cable end and the other end of the jumper wire to a ground ( not the battery ground ) Wait 20/25 minutes and re- hook the cable end to the positive battery post . Now insert key into the switch and turn on/ no start/run. Count the amount of chimes/ dings and then turn off and count the same amount of dings in ur head then pull key from switch . Re-peat this three more times and on the 4th start the car and let it warm up naturally . When normal and RPM goes back to normal idle , turn off and allow it to cool completely down . Now u can drive normally like always but make sure u get the car up to 65 mph for April. 10/20 miles and all codes and computer [ s ]

I heard those tensioners do that if you don't change the oil regularly you got to keep the oil change regularly sometimes change it before it's due because those tensioner are ran by oil pressure and if they get gummed up they do make the chain rattle so you got to keep the oil fresh in them

Mike i had the same issue with drivetrain and a drive train fault workshop warning. I used to shut it down and restart and the fault would clear. Not exactly a fix but shows it is likely a sensitive algorithm for the sensor. I have not had the warning again for over 2 years and I noticed a new battery seemed to help. Im thinking a weak battery/alternator or bad earthing can trigger all types of codes and sensors.

I also have fault 02039. I find that when I switch off the engine and back on again, it clears the display. However I also have a vibration in the centre console area, which other owners say is the stepper motor going bad. Personally, I am going to change my stepper motor when I have the cash. Parts for the Toureg, here in Australia, are way over the top. Love the channel by the way :)

Gotta 07 V8 w/ 63,000 miles and been warned about the tensioners by an Audi mechanic. I asked why an 04 tensioner problem survived into my 07 model year? He just smiled and said, "Audi".

I need some help.My touaregs engine has a check engine light and the engine shudders n vibrates and has significant power reduction.

My '06 V8 with 172000km also makes the rattling noise when it is cold, but definitely less than yours...maybe for 2 seconds and I have not picked up the P1536 error code. How bad can it get before it needs to be fixed, or should I start planning to get it fixed?

did this get repaired for newer models like 05 and 06? thanks mike

Im about to move a v8 in to my vr6 donyou think its better or worse?

Did you fix the electrical issue? Found out it was corroded wire connections on the driver`s side under the seat?
