Touareg :: Adjusting Low Beams?
How to step by step adjust the low beams. I looked at trying to do this and haven't got a clue. Do you need to remove the whole lighting unit or is there an adjustment screw you get to by feel, because you aren't getting in back of the light assembly from the engine compartment, maybe remove the wheel well guards? I think i'm in the market for a service manual. My motto is If it aint broke...........fix it until it is!!!!!

I believe it is a great feature to automatically adjust the side view mirrors downward when the car is put into reverse. One question, Does the passenger side mirror the only mirror which adjusts downward? My drivers side mirror does not move at all.
View 4 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Car Recently Lowered And Lights Are Adjusting All Randomly
I just lowered the passat and i have noticed while driving at night that the self-leveling lights have a hard time finding level. I am driving on I-95 and anyone who is in front of me thinks i am blinking my high beams at them.
This guy started slamming his brakes in front of me the other day and most likely would have killed me if he ever had a chance of catching me (the 3.6 is a monster!).
Any way, I notice this problem at all speeds and all road conditions (smooth as well as bumpy). Is there a way i can just turn the leveling feature off, cause there is no way this car is going back to stock springs.
Touareg :: Air Suspension Breaks Down While Going 65 Mph
Today my v-10's front air suspension broke? while driving at 65 on a freeway i heard a metal clunk like the sound of a manhole cover slightly ajar being run over, but no impact on the wheel, just this sound , i do not believe i hit anything it just happened out of the blue. after another 5 minutes or so i noticed my front end seemed different, and then i got a priority one red triangle message to STOP with a message about wheels or brake or something. i pulled over and saw that the front end was lower than I've ever seen it. i made it to a dealer a couple of miles later and the front end was as low as it could go with the rear up at the normal height. no leakage no visible damage its just screwed up. I've got 21,000 miles on it and i do drive a little aggressive.

Can't say I noticed it on the test drive but when we went to Costco last weekend and drove slowly over the speed bumps it seemed like the rear suspension had no give in it at all. Also noticed it whilst out driving tonight.
View 3 RepliesTouareg :: Air Suspension Failure At 70K Miles?
Was driving on some segmented highway concrete that send my front end into quite a thrashing. Slowed down quite a bit and it settle down some but nothing like that before. Pain attention to ride but it feels OK, corners, etc. BUT, over the past few weeks, I've noticed that it has become quite sensitive to sharp transitions (BOTS dots a.k.a. line markers, driveways, etc. so I have a suspicion that one or more of the air spring assemblys has possibly failed or a leak.
It's like the equivalent of a worn out strut. The car hold up. Raises and lowers, etc. But I can't push down on the car to test the response of the suspension like a standard strut car. What is the expected life of the air suspension? And cost to replace pair or all four. Not looking forward to the possible expenses.

View 1 RepliesTouareg :: 2004 - Driving With A Failed Air Suspension?
Bit of sticky problem - it looks like the air suspension system has failed on my 2004 T-Reg. The back-end is dragging - down to aprox 1 foot off pavement and there is no air in the compressor bottle. The problem is that the next dealer is about 75 miles and bit of a ferry ride away. The ride is bouncy and harsh - but otherwise stable.

I have the dreaded "STOP FAULT RUNNING GEAR" message. Vag-Com shows Electical Fault in Circuit for both Left Front and Left Rear level sensors. Checked all fuses. Replaced both sensors....no change. Temperature started dropping below freezing, message goes away and suspension works. Temperature rises, message comes back and suspension stops working again.
View 6 RepliesTouareg :: Air Suspension Pump Making Noise
I removed the long plastic cover under the right side of the car to expose the air pump. Switched the car on and looked for any obvious signs where the noise came from. Mine showed a missing nut and some play in the bushes. Some strategically placed cable ties, foam and a new nut and the air pump is silent again. Now who said these cars need deep pockets to maintain?

View 5 RepliesTouareg :: A Lot Of Suspension Noises In Rocky Sections?
Yesterday I had the egg out for its first off-road adventure. The terrain was mostly loose rock with a few boulders to traverse. The egg went great but there was a lot of suspension noises (clunks, clanks, and pops) in the rocky sections. I'm used to four-wheeling with a solid axle Jeep and I was curious if this is a normal occurrence with the egg. I had the air suspension raised to the off-road level and at times it made noises similar to a loose shock.

I have an 05 V10 Touareg with air suspension. I often experience a kinking motion when going around roundabouts. It is as though the car wants to go straight even though the steering wheel is turning to the right or left. It is random, and my dealer has experianced the kinking and says that it should be expected. A friend of mine also has a V10 and his doesn't do it.
View 2 RepliesTouareg :: Squeaking Suspension On Uneven Surface At Low Speed?
I just did my brakes and now I have this squeaking noise when going over speed bump or on uneven surface at low speed. I figure that the springs was decompressed when the car was jacked up and it would settle back down when the car was lower back down. Its has been over a week now and the noise is still there.
By the way, I replaced with Hawk ceramic brakes and it's great. No NOISE and NO brake DUST.
