Touareg :: Fails To Respond To Remote
Jul 9, 2007
This morning while attempting to unlock the Touareg, the remote failed to "talk" to the Touareg. We just purchased our Touareg last Wednesday. The low battery warning was indicated when we bought it. However, battery had enough juice so that the remote still worked. I put a new battery in the remote the other day and remote worked like a champ, plus the warning went away. Remote was working great until this morning. Small green light on remote lights up to indicate signal is going out but Touareg doesn't respond.
I unlocked the truck by the key but I do not know how to disarm the alarm with the key. I tried turning and holding the key toward unlock but no luck, the truck does unlock this way, but the red lights still flash indicating alarm is still active. Tried a second new battery in the remote, no luck. Finally, after about 20 minutes, I left the Touareg in the driveway and took our other car to work. What do I do to get the remote back in sync with the vehicle? Also, how do I deactivate the alarm with the key in case the remote fails again?

I'm having an issue on my remotes (2) I recently try and lock the doors with both remotes and sometimes it does not respond. I changed the battery 2 days ago and still having the issue. I will have to hit the remote 5 times next to driver's door to lock sometimes. Other times it's fine.

From both the key remote and inside the car the power locks only occasionally respond. Currently most of the time just the driver side os working. Acts the same when the car is running and when it is off. Seems like the first time i hit lock or unlock it works but repeatedly doing it it stips moving the lock. Bad relay?

Have a feeling it may be the actuator or the motors in the door. One by one, the power locks on my prius are not responding to the remote or the lock button on the door. The headlights no longer respond to the remote as well. Pressing the remote just causes the car alarm to chirp 4-5 times.

I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The door locks do not respond to the remote or the switch on the door. If I disconnect the battery for a few seconds, they will work for a day or two. It seems to be a computer problem. Is there only one? Where is it and are there any other tests I can do to troubleshoot this?

My passenger front door lock will not work with remotes or lock unlock buttons inside vehicle.

When I start my car the radio has no sound and the volume knob does not respond. I need to switch to another function in order to restore sound... ie, if it is on radio I need to switch to AUX. I have a video adapter installed, but it has always worked fine. This seemed to just start happening out of the blue.

Is there anyway to make the remote unlock/lock the car from a farther distance? Mine doesn't work unless you're about 3 feet away from the car!

I took the battery out of my key. When I replaced it, my remote does not work anymore. Does it need to be reprogrammed when you remove the battery? If so, what is the process?

When I went to unlock my trunk hatch last night the remote did not work. I then attempted to unlock the doors....still no joy. I attempted to lock the doors....nothing. I then manually opened the door, fearing my battery was dead (after reading the numerous battery threads) and the put the key in the ignition and it started right up? I then took the key out and locked the door using the reote. I unlocked the door and opened the back hatch with the remote. The only thing I could think was my step mother had unlocked her Dodge Durango that was parked next to mine...and maybe this confused my poor touareg!?

If Touareg rear hatch actually opens when press the remote or just unlocks? Mine opens only after you touch area above license plate. Also I cant open at all from door switch. Gas Flap also doesnt work from door. I ran output test with vagcom and both the gas flap and hatch work.

I'm replacing the 3 button remote control switch in my 2004 Touareg and need to know how to get into the "compartment" where the switch is located so I can replace it.

Four questions:
1) I know that Executive has keyless entry, but does it also have the remote-start feature?
2) Do 2012 Tregs show which tyre is underinflated or does TMPS just show a general warning that tyres are running low?
3) Does 2012 Treg have a power liftgate and if so, can it be opened/closed with the keyfob?
4) Do 2012 Tregs now come with the backup camera or is it still not available due to the parts supply shortage?

Just picked up a 2005 and the hatch glass will not open. Tried everything that I have read on here and on ClubTouareg. It has to be the fuse or something. Pressing the button on the remote does nothing and neither does the switch on the driver's side door.

1543 miles on my 2010 Golf TDI. got out of the car and tried to lock it, and the lock didn't. When I got back in to start it, it kicked over then the display read "Key not in range" and the engine sputtered dead.? Had to walk home a few miles to get the spare key...my mistake for not carrying both sets...my previous car was an Acura, so I didn't really need to plan for electrical failure.
Anyhow, once I got my spare key and walked a few miles back, it worked just fine. Kicked right over, happy to see me. Good thing; I hate having a car with paper tags (still too new to have the actual plates) towed to the dealer.

I have a 2005 Excursion with 6.0 PSD just turned 80,000 miles. About a year ago, the vacuum hubs on the ESOF system became intermittent, so I changed then out with WARN manual hubs, which proved to be 100% reliable. Today, I got in the truck to move it, and engaged 4x4 High, as it had snowed last night and my inclined driveway was slippery. The hubs are locked, I get a lighted "4x4" idiot light on the dash, but the front wheels are not providing any drive power at all. I can hear the transfer case shift motor moving the gears, and if I select Low Range, the transfer case does change over to Low, but still no drive coming from the front wheels. I'm under the impression that the only things left to fail would be for the propeller shaft to be lying on the ground (it's not), the differential is not working, or something is wrong with the spindle shafts. Nothing has happened to the truck, and I have not heard any strange noises. I parked it 3 days ago, and everything, including four wheel drive, worked fine at that time. What may be going on here?

Prius 2006. Twice in recent weeks I have visited my son in Maine (I live in Massachusetts). While there, I attempted to lock my Prius by pressing the lock button on the door. It didn't work, I got a long beep. I was able to lock the car by pressing the lock button on the remote.

I recently purchased a 2002 Jetta VR6 GLX. It drives fine when the transmission is warm, but fails to go into reverse and has a hard time shifting out of first when it's cold. I took it to my german mechanic friend who specializes in transmissions and he said that both the valve body and transmission need to be replaced. Problem is I don't have the funds to replace both.
The current transmission has 131000 on it.

Vehicle has 2WD, 4 Spd transaxle, 78K miles, 3.8L, Transmission was power flushed and filter changed last week, minimal debris in pan. Mostly it runs well, this is a newly acquired vehicle for me.
Problem: At highway speed, acceleration that forces a downshift STAYS downshifted until I stop and turn off the ignition. Start and go after that is normal until next passing event, repeat. Shifting is otherwise normal.

My cruise fails to engage, sometimes first thing in the mornings, sometimes in the afternoon, cold engine or warm, fresh start or on resume. After the car is turned off for a few, something is resetting it and it then works fine. Wondering if this has something to do with a faulty switch, fuse, or whatever. I've tried the cruise switch on the stalk in turning it off for a while, keeping it pressed in, turning it back on, everything.
