100% your correct. About the wheel torque. I just checked the factory manual. I have a catalog with all car wheel torqued and it says 120 for touareg buy there is a hyfin saying 17 inch wheels. So thanks. It'd been 4 years the wheel never went anywhere regardless. Yes diesel oil will always be black but the more black means internally there is more sludge built up. Using better oils and changing it more frequently will help eliminate or reduce that black slide that is caused by good old diesels... I missed a screw. Maybe I probably just put it on after. Tough recording shot. Also no one in there right mind replaced drain plugs. Or caliper bolts every time there removed as per manual its ridiculousno shop including dealer does that. That's why we have crush washers so the washer can do the sealing not the plug. If you want to replace your drain plug every oil change that's awesome. I'm on original drain plus on my 2008 acura csx, 2012 crv, touareg as far as I know, cayenne.. have a nice day I will put a disclaimer about wheel torque.

@@MyHomeGarage Hey, I totally agree with you on the use of better quality oils and changing more often. I was just stating that fact as before buying my Touareg TDI or any diesel, I didn't know that myself. I was just saying that for the newbies like myself and not as a dig on you. I really enjoyed your video. As for the replacing of the drain plug, I only mentioned that because from experience on my own TDI I found out that the metal used in these drain plugs are soft and mine got damaged on my second oil change. Again not a criticism to you but more info for newbies. Thanks for your response and hope to see more of your videos. Pete 😉

@@peterengelmann3720 I changed my oil after your comment and the allen hex section stripped as I lessened it lol. I actually gonna have a video about it soon. Kind of ironic. I guess my advice will be every 2-3 oil changes replace the drain for that reason atlease

@@MyHomeGarage LOL I mentioned that because the same thing happened to me. It was the second oil change that I did on my Touareg that I did when my drain plug stripped out. Had to use a pair of Vise grips to get the plug out. My advice to anyone that does their own oil changes on a Touareg is to have a new drain plug on hand just in case it happens to them. In my personal experience, I had to replace it on my second oil change. I am just glad that VW puts a thick enough head on that plug that I could use a pair of Vise Grips. LOL

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

I will. Soon I like to wait till the vehicles I work on need the work. There maybe be a chain job on the 3.0 diesel touareg soon.

How can i flush the coolant on touareg? I cannot find how to drain the water out, please answer.

@@sebastianmarcus6358 If you haven't figured it out by now, you must remove the lower radiator drain hose and go through a process of draining, and blowing out the system through the removal of a few other coolant hose from the heater core as well (!) . The factory repair manual shows pictures of this, but for the most part if you refill with water and just run to operating temp with hearer core full heat blast, will dilute the system ( COOLANT VACUUM SERVICE TOOL REFILL METHOD), then you drain again this will get almost all of the old coolant out. To refill, it is NECCESSARY to use the vacuum tool method of refilling. It will put the coolant system into a vacuum, and then the coolant is drawn into the engine through the reservoir tank Then you again refill using the vacuum service tool method with clean 50/50 G12+, G12++, G13 compatible coolant. It's a chore. Garages only drain and refill and that's it. It is a pain in the you know what for a DIY in the garage without a lift. Access to the lower radiator hose is from the passenger side Wheel well.

Thanks brother. The cayenne no ratttle, the Touareg rattles all the time. I got a video soon about it l. I have a theory as to the cause for the rattle.

Yeah, Most of my life I was always thinking I will keep those car forever. But your right unless it's a special car. Most general maintenance is about as much as you need and when the vehicle gets to a point where the repairs outlay the value its time to give it up. Your right

As long as you maintain I believe it.

They will claim transmission and transfer case are lifetime. Fuel filter, air filter cabin filter. Doubt they will do the engine flush.

That is kool. Its over kill especially if you use a higher quality oil. To each there own

@@MyHomeGarage I use Febi /Motul /total or Shell - to VW spec. Also do fuel and oil filter with every oil change.

@@Patrickorwa it's over kill. I do every 10,000kms confidently. Especially a diesel. Fuel filter every 20,000kms. To each there own. I do about 20,000kms a year so each year fuel filter a oil change every 6 months

@@Patrickorwa what a waste of time and money. Or the 5k oil changes for that matter.

100%%%
