So got a check engine last night.... Dealer cleared it today and said it was "just a fault in the cat" "probably due to moisture or a dip in the temperature".... I'm still awaiting the code as my wife just left the dealer. I was also told that if the check engine light comes right back on then they know to replace the cat. However in my case, I was lucky and the fault just cleared with the VAG...
View 3 RepliesThe other day I got yellow check lights warning on the MFI, so I went out and looked at all of my lights and then the inside lights but everything was fine. On the second time I got the warning, I found out that my front right fog light housing had quite a bit of moisture inside but all the lights still worked fine including that fog light.
I took it to the dealer and the tech tells me it is normal. He added that any of the front lights could get moisture inside but after a half hour on, the moisture should go away.
I never got the warning since.But the moisture still appears and never completly goes away and that fog light is the only one out of all the lights that get's moisture inside. I know about the TSB for the top light housing with moisture, but this is the fog light and only that specific one. I have never had any other housing with a single bubble of moisture!!Is this normal?
I took my touareg 4 times back they said the rotors are ok and later replaced all the back brakes and rotors, now the front squeaks again when hot, they can't hear the noise when i take it in. They said it's the moisture after a car wash.

View 5 RepliesRecently "acquired" AB Fault that would not go away. Upon routine 10k service, here is what was found out. If you move the passenger front seat within the first few seconds, the self-tests (including determination of seat empty to automatically turn off passenger airbag) get confused and a fault code is thrown. Fault will not go away until reset by VW service (or presumably VAG-COM can do this).
The recommended "fix", at this point, is to not mess with the seat adjustment for 10sec after ON. There is no written information on Touaregs, apparently, but same problem is documented in a Technical Bulletin for New Beetle. A relevant quote from that document is: "Volkswagen Technical Service is investigating the following condition. After switching ignition ON, the Airbag Monitoring indicator light stays illuminated and DTC 02511 014 - Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module Fault - is stored in DTC memory.

My 20" porsche set passed the learning but gave me the above error 10 minutes later. My stock 18" set works fine.
Well, I didn't get 10 miles from the dealer before the air pressure monitor fault hit. I had asked them to check this in advance and my salesperson said that only some T-regs have it and that there is no way to know until it happens. Was the dealer right? Or could they have saved me this additional 1-day hassle of having the problem fixed?

View 2 RepliesI have a dual zone climatronic in my 04, I just noticed it last night that regardless of what temperature setting the passenger side is in, it just blows cold air. Winter is fast approaching.
View 2 RepliesWith all DTCs cleared, this fault code would occur without even shifting out of Park. VW replaced both ECMs, fuel filters and O2 sensors and the car ran fine for the next 1400 miles.
At which point, I decided to get a tune - the car drives great (power gain = ~60hp/90tq. However, I am back to the P0173 fault code exhibiting the same behavior. There are no driveability issues, in fact the new tune seems to be a little smoother than the stock tune. Why this is happening again.

So, after the dealer found an open circuit and "fixed" the running gear workshop fault, as you know, it was right back again. Today, it happened as usual. At a light, I turned off the ignition and restarted, as this always resets it and it usually doesn't come back for a day or more.
However, something different happened. After restarting, I got a fault I've never seen. By now, I was on the highway. "Brake Fault, in RED. Stop Vehicle" is what it said. Transmission would not shift out of third, and I'm on the highway with the RPMs up to almost 5 grand just to keep at around 50.
I get off the next exit, which seemed an interminably long way, shut her down, started it back up, proceeded where I had to go, parked, and came home over 30 miles with no further faults.
It's bound to happen again. I'm ready for a trade-in, for sure. 42,500 miles and it's definitely going to get worse.
The LCD appear a message when I am driving, Fault running gear. But the message disappear after restart the engine.

View 14 RepliesYesterday our t-reg locked up on us, the Brake fault warning saying "Stop brake fault" came up, but the car was at a full stop. It was in park and I could not get it out of park, this has occured several times before but the dealer never found a problem, with a few repetitions of starting the engine and turning it off seemed to clear the fault. Not this time, just locked up, Also the air suspension fault warning came on with two clicking sounds, one from under the dash just above the accelerator and the other coming from the ignition switch. The dealer now says wait a week and he will look at it saying he would have to quote "tear into it" to look for a potential wiring harness problem. Our 2004 T-reg has been in the shop probably no less than 50 times in the last 4 years....
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem with my V6 early VIn Egg tire pressure monitoring system fault. I received the error so I checked the tire pressure on all tires. They were at the recommended levels. I therefore took it in for service and they had to replace the control unit. After picking it up from service, I received the error again. I took it back to service and they tried resetting the control unit. Well as expected, I received the error again. Currently, my egg is back in the shop as they are trying to resolve this problem. I also decided to have them fix the remote range since it's in the shop.

Has scanned the car while had the airbag fault present and if so, is this the usual harness that needs to be changed?

View 4 RepliesI have been getting the "Running Gear Fault Workshop!" message on my MFI almost every day for about a week now. To clear it, all I have to do is shut down and restart and it goes away for pretty much the rest of the day. Is this something that I should get into the shop ASAP? Or can it wait a month until my scheduled 20,000 mile service?
