Passat (B6) :: Tiptronic Bucking / Clunking When Coasting Around 40 - 45 Mph
Still relatively new to this car and VWs in general. I have a 2.0T sedan with 39,500 miles. I've noticed this just about every time I slow to around 40mph and then accelerate again. It's like the car can't figure out what gear it wants to be in. I don't mess around with sport mode and rarely shift manually. No real problems accelerating, just a weird shimmy when coasting from say 50mph down to 40mph and then another clunk when I accelerate again.
View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Tiptronic Shifter Would Not Work
I have a '98 1.8t and my tiptronic shifter would not work so I did some research and found out about the magnets usually fall off inside the console. Sure enough, mine had fallen off. I glued it back on and my tip still will not work. When i slide the shifter over nothing happens, it just stays in automatic.
I was wondering if there was another switch somewhere or something inside the transmission that just doesn't work anymore.
Touareg :: Tiptronic - Extra Shift In 2nd Gear?
I'm still trying to figure out the tiptronic trans. Sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own. One anomoly I've noticed fairly consistently is a "second" shift within 2nd gear. It happens a little above 2000rpm and it can be felt, heard and observed as a drop of several hundred rpm. It's as if the trans is shifting on its own, but its not since it remains in second gear until I upshift into third.

Touareg :: Clunking Noise On Rear Right End Of Car
I took my '04 Touareg V8 with 38k miles to the dealer complaining about a clunking noise on the rear right end of the car. The noise sounds like that of when you engage the low differential and trying to unstuck from a slippery road. It also sounds like when the lock differential is engaged. It only sounds when you start the car from the stop position and not every time.
Now the dealer said this may be from the electronic monitor of the transaxle/ differential.
Touareg :: 2004 V8 - Clunking When Shifting, Going On And Off Throttle
My 2004 V8 clunks when shifting gears, causing the engine to oscillate right through the seat. It also happens when driving a steady speed, e.g., 10MPH in traffic, and you goose the gas or release the gas altogether. So far:
1. Replaced transmission valve body
2. Replaced stepper motor
3. Replaced rear propellor shaft and bearing
I think this started with a reflash of the trans to cure the death lag.
Touareg :: 2004 Transmission - Loud Clunking Noise When Getting Up To About 30 Mph
When driving, getting up to about 30 mph, a loud clunking noise and feeling seem to come from under the center armrest. I have looked underneath to see if something came loose or was missing, but nothing looks out of place. Increase in speed makes it get worse.

Touareg :: Clunking When Shifting Gear / More Apparent On Acceleration?
Occasional clunk when truck is shifting gears. Not consistent. On highway at high acceleration clunk is more apparent. Any thoughts. 2004 v10 with new engine placed at 70,000km now at 85000km. Otherwise truck is running great.
View 8 RepliesTouareg :: Loud Clunking / Transmission Locking During Downshift At High Speeds
My 2004 V8 egg is currently at 111,000 miles and I'm starting to have problems that are really cause for concern. Since the blue book value on the Touareg is worthless and I've got it paid off, I might as well keep it until the wheels fall off of it. Anyhow, on to the problem at hand ...
When driving on the interstate at high speed somewhere around 80 - 90 mph and you push the accelerator to get that extra bit of speed out of the downshift so you can pass or just for the heck of it, the transmission starts clunking, LOUDLY, which of course causes you to let your foot off the gas. The clunking continues for about 5 - 10 seconds until the car has slowed down a bit.
I can still get the car up to speeds of around 110 mph (my wife tried it just about 15 minutes ago on our way back from Florida), but it has to be done gradually as to keep the transmission from downshifting.
Around town the car responds fine. Occasionally it will have a hard shift, but I can't find a reason or pattern to that. Fifth gear also works fine in city traffic, I've used tiptronic to keep it in 5th and I've also watched the main display change from D4 to D5 to D6 and back again without incident.
I'm too afraid to take the car up to 90 and then engage tiptronic and downshift to 5th. This transmission has had its fair share of problems. I'm on my third stepper motor, the forward transmission seal had to be replaced and then later the hydraulic pump had to be replaced. There are no noticeable fluid stains on the belly pans and there are no stains on my garage floor, so I doubt its leaking fluid. Can you even check the transmission fluid level in this thing?
Other than the transmission problem, the Touareg is behaving fairly well. (Knock on wood) It still rides nice and I've learned to put up with the little electrical anomalies that happen like the blue strobe backlight compass (it's just dancing along with the music) and the lights switching ON in full daylight (with the euro switch installed).
Touareg :: 2004 - Shaking / Vibrating And Clunking - Engine Light Blinked A Few Times Then Solid
On my V6 2004 (just hit 120,000 kms, just changed the oils 2 weeks ago) I was driving on the hiway yesterday, when the whole vehicle started shaking and vibrating - engine light blinked a few times, then stayed ON solid.
I could reduce the shaking by letting go on the throttle pedal, so I stopped and checked, nothing obvious, oil level good etc. I could hear some sort of clunking noise when engine was revved up.
Touareg :: A/C Won't Work Efficiently?
I can't quite owkr out what is going on, but my A/C sometimes seems to be working too well and other not so good. For instance, last night I got in the car, 95 outside, and inside the A/C was going flat out (set to 65). The air from the middle vent on the passager side was very cold, from the drivers side it did not even feel cold and in the back also not cold. After 10 minutes of driving the car was barely acceptable. Went flying for 2 hours, came back, now temp outside was down to 90 and the car got cold very quickly (<5 mins).
In summary it would appear that if I do a lot of stop start driving, the A/C looses efficiency.
Touareg :: Homelink Won't Work Unless Car Turned On?
Ever notice that the Homelink won't work unless the car is turned on? Not very useful for putting the garage door up and down as you don't want the car running BEFORE you put the door up. I had two other cars with Homelink and both worked at all times. If VW can make the radio work all the time they could certainly do the same with the Homelink controls.

I have an 04 T-reg w/ 15k miles on it, the problem that i am having is with the A/C. It works for the most part but some days its just not that cold. Usually when idling or after returning to the car after 30 minutes or so the a/c just doesn't seem to recover. Its not warm air but its certainly now cold air.
View 8 RepliesTouareg :: AC Did Not Work After Driving For 20 To 25 Minutes
2005-V6 with 83k miles. The A/C did not work after driving 20 to 25 minutes when the temperature hits 85 degrees. Usually did not work all day but started to work fine the next day and if temperature did not reach 80 degrees, will work all day.
The compressor did make a humming noise that you can hear with the window close.
Finally took the car when the A/C was not working and they saw it at the dealer. After a week I got a call today that the temperature sensor was bad, they are testing and should be ready tomorrow.
Will that fix the issues? what about the noise coming from the compressor.
Touareg :: Parking Assist Does Not Work
My parking assist does not work any more. red lights and and one tone front and rear when the car starts, after that I just get red lights going forward and red lights going in reverse. Any way to reset the whole system? I pulled the fuse but that didn't work.

View 7 RepliesTouareg :: TPMS Old Coding Does Not Work With Controller
Have one of at least four different software codes, depending on your version of the TPMS controller. For the old controller (which I used to have, and which is present in, for example, air cooled rig), the coding is 0012339. (There is also 0010339.) The new coding below is only if you have coding 0210390 and possibly if you have coding 0211390. The old coding does not work with my controller, and I do not know if the new coding works with the old controller.
Use VAG-COM:
1. to put the option to turn TPMS on/off into the MFI.
2. to get "inflation info" back into the MFI.
Change the software coding to:
0110390
Touareg :: Keyless Locking Not Supposed To Work If Key Is In The Car
So, I was over rearranging some stuff at the self-storage unit the other day and was getting warm, so I took off my coat, with the Treg keys in the pocket, and tossed it through the open driver's side window. Inadvertently pressed up against the door lock button in the handle and guess what....the doors locked, contrary to what is supposed to happen, or not happen that is, that being that the doors are not supposed to lock with the button when the keys are in the car! Good thing the window was down!
View 1 RepliesTouareg :: V10 Heated Steering Button Won't Work
My V10 has the wood steering wheel, and the button to turn heat on and off. I have not been able to get this feature to work. On questioning the dealer they said that this option was not offered in Australia. It seems unlikely to me that a manufacturer would make two types of wood wheel as the production run would be more expensive than just one.
