Touareg :: Vibration Coming From Roof Rack Or Rear Of Vehicle?
Vibration coming from either the roof rack or rear of the vehicle? I seem to get it in cold weather sometimes or when I accelerate from between 40 and about 60 mph. I have checked to see if the roof rack needs tightening but it looks good. Of course, every time I bring in for service, guess what, they cannot replicate the sound.
View 8 RepliesTouareg :: Broken Roof Rack?
I have a new question regarding my Touareg. Recently my roof rack broke, a latch on one side of one of the crossbars broke almost off. The part that the key goes into and pulls away to release its hold to the roof was broken when trying to force it closed after adjusting the rack's position. Can this piece be replaced or does the rack have to be replaced?

I bought my treg a couple of months ago and it came with the stock roof rack. I never thought anything of it, since I barely use it. But the other day I wanted to see what it looks like if i separated the rack. It looks like it takes a key to unlock it, i thought it was the cars ignition key but it's not. How I could unlock it or get a key to do this?
View 4 RepliesTouareg :: Sudden Vibration From Roof Rack When Driving On Highway
Driving my V10 at around 140 km/hr (87 mph) along the highway and passing a truck (in a tunnel), all of a sudden there was a violent vibration from the roof rack. It seems like it went into its resonance frequency because as soon as I slowed down it went away, and didn't reappear again.
View 2 RepliesTouareg :: Ticking Sound After Mounting Summer Wheels And Tires
With average temperatures going over 10 C, it's time to switch tires, so I did. I have a set of 20" ATP Inox wheels with Nokian NRVi 275/45 tires, that are only used for the summer (in the winter the stock 17" canyons are used), the wheels and tires are not new, they've been on the T last summer as well without any problems.
But now, I hear a ticking noise in all 4 wheels or tires when driving. The sound doesn't stop at higher speeds (only more difficult to hear due to wind noise), and it occurs on the same spot in every wheel rotation. It's like there's a big nail in all 4 tires, but: there isn't one, nor anything else, and there's plenty of thread left (> 1 cm).
The noise stops sometimes when braking or turning. I contacted and visited the dealer, and he couldn't find anything but assured me that it couldn't be that big a problem. What I checked:
- air pressure (3 Kg/cm rear, 2.6 Kg/cm front)
- all bolts properly tightened
- no nails, stones, whatsoever in the tires
- no loose cables, brake pads, or things like that
- thread wear is ok
- I have no TPMS so no lost sensors inside the wheels
If the problem persists, the dealer will take the tires off of the wheels and check inside, but according to me it's very unlikely that there's something inside all 4 tires.
Touareg :: V6 - Loud Vibration On Roof At Certain Speeds (40 - 45 / 80 Mph)
V6 Touareg, Sunroof, roof racks (locked together at rear.) At certain speeds (40-45mph) there is a loud vibration on the roof. If the sunroof is opened or raised, the vibration stops. Nothing visible on the roof or sunroof which would suggest the cause of the noise.

I described about 3 weeks ago this loud metal sound coming from the exhaust with any revs above 4k at stop or on the road. The car sounds like a Z06 Vette with out the cats on-it is really a loud disheartening sound. The VW stealership replaced the whole exhaust but the sound is still there. Where I should direct them to look??

I have been getting a loud, high-pitched mechanical-sounding noise coming from the middle of the dash, near the CD player. It lasts only a few seconds, but it scares the sh!t out of me every time! It happens out of the blue after I've been driving for a few minutes about every 3 weeks or so. The sound is almost impossible to describe...but if you've had it happen you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. It happened today while I was listening to a CD, so I can't imagine it's the player that's doing it. Non-Nav/Air V8
View 1 RepliesTouareg :: Loud Noise That Sounds Like Something Striking The Roof Above Driver Side
Since taking delivery of my Touareg in Sept. I have, on three or four occasions experienced a loud noise that sounds like something striking the roof above the drivers side. It happened 2 or 3 times last fall and then not again until yesterday. It does not appear to be speed or weather related and obviously there is no sign of anything hitting the roof. The roof rack is correctly assembled at the rear.
View 1 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Roof Rack Have Scratches And Outlines
I've been using roof racks for years and despite the towers being padded, I always end up with some scratches and or 'outlines' of the tower pad left behind. On my new car I wanted to avoid this so I made up some pads from paint protection film. They're practically invisible when the rack is off the car. I was really happy with the way they turned out so I'm thinking of producing them in quantity but would like some feedback first. I use a Yak rack but the pads would be made large enough to accommodate just about any of the popular roof systems available.

Just got a mild lift done on my Ex and still wanting to park it in the garage.
If I remove the useless rails and cross bars that looks like it's still a possibility.
What to fill the holes with? Just torx screws? Anything else I need to do to prevent water leakage?

View 14 RepliesFord Excursion :: Building A Custom Roof Rack - Where To Mount It
I've seen a lot of off road racks mounted into rain gutters or the side of jeeps and whatnot, but can I just use the factory rails? Which way is better? The idea would be to remove the factory cross bars, and saddle up the custom rack in the rails that came with the vehicle.
Also, as far as weight is concerned the rack is going to be about 112" x 52" with a custom light bar in the front. The rack itself is going to weigh about 120-160 lbs. 1" square aluminum tubing., with 1 and 1/4 inch base, about 16-18" tall in the back, 10" in the front
I would like to be able to use a ladder and get up on it myself (200lbs), but I have a feeling this might be too much weight. me+sparetire+rack = fail?????
I know the rack itself can handle it I can jump up and down on it on the floor, but x roof is going to hold up or buckle?

As it is, my roof racks are separated, as if they were going to carry skis or something else on them. I notice a typical wind noise at highways speeds, not unpleasant, but I wonder if I put them together at the rear, or took them off altogether, it would make much difference. Also, as I take off on cold mornings, I notice exhaust fumes collect on the rear window, then immediately evaporate away.
