I guess my curious nature got me in trouble today. I took out the ski bag today just to wipe it down and see what it looked like and when I went to put it back in, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to fold it back up with that belt and everything and make it fit in that little compartment. I looked in the manual but it doesn't have instructions on how to fold it properly.
View 12 RepliesI tried to put a cover on the back seat and I couldn't see how to fold down the back. Is there any way do that. Toyota Avalon XLE Touring 2013.
View 13 RepliesThe instruction manual gives several easy steps:
- Remove head restraint from backrest you want to fold forward (easy enough)
- Pull loop located on the front edge of seat cushion and fold it forward (wasn't too bad until you try to pull the seat all the way forwards and it just doesn't want to)
- Put headrest into seat
- Fold down backrest .
All those other instructions aren't applicable since I can't get past #2 in the instructions. Alright, so I pull the seat to the front, but it won't get all the way. Seems like this is in the way
By now I figure, heck I don't want to force it, so I'll just put the seat back and have the dealer tell me how. The leather wasn't really done well and it snagged on the seatbelt clip resulting in
How the heck you fold the rear seats down...I would say I am average to above average when it comes to mechanics and I have spent a couple of hours tinkering with the seat to no avail.

View 1 RepliesThe headrest of back seat will bend over when fold down the seat. But one of the headrests can't go back to original up position. The dealer has adjusted the cable but this just temporarily fixed the problem. The problem is back again. I will go back to dealer but can they really fix it? Should I ask for a replacement of the whole seat?
View 1 RepliesI collapsed the rear seats this morning, loaded the Treg up with stuff (nothing too heavy) and drove 200 miles. Got home, unloaded stuff and then tried to put the seats back up. The center seat belt is integrated into the passenger side 60% folding seat. But for some reason it's now "locked" as the belts do when the car is in an accident.
Since the belt is tight as it is in the lowered position, it will not allow me to lift up the back portion of the seat. After looking at it in the somewhat narrow view I have from between the floor and the lowered back rest, I can see that when I try to lift the back rest, the belt needs to slack some to allow the seat back to go all the way up. But since it catches, it only allow the seat back to raise about 6" before it's too tight to raise the seat back anymore.
I looked at the mounting bolts for the bottom portion of the belt in the space I can see and I see a 12 point star pattern bolt (not sure of proper name). With my Passat, I was able to find a suitable allen wrench that fits in the 12 point star pattern bolt that controls the back door catch for adjustment purposes. But with this one, I tried both metric and SAE and neither has a close enough match.
The belt locking mechanism allows for about 1" of belt travel before it locks. I've jiggled with the belt trying to get the mechanism to unlock so I don't have to remove the belt anchor point on the floor of the car (which I don't have the right wrench for). Anything I can do with the belt? Or do I just go after getting the right wrench and undoing the anchor to allow more belt slack to reset the belt?
I searched using all possible keywords, but to no avail. My back hatch got stuck about 3 weeks ago. I could not open it, but it showed as being open on the MFI. I took it to the dealer, and it was fixed. They said they replaced the locking mechanism. Well, it got stuck again this weekend and am taking it back to the dealer. Why did it get stuck again, even though they replaced the mechanism?
View 2 RepliesWell I can and I wonder if this is normal as I can push my treg when it is off and in park [parking brake off of course] about 6 inches. It will rock back and forth, is this normal ?? I ask as I also have clunking in my drive train that the stealership says is normal. And I have 70k miles but this has been going on since 30k miles.
View 7 RepliesConfirmed it today. Not hearing things. A very low bass like hum when the car goes over 80. Wind noise of transmission binding. What the transmission binding sounds like? Would it happen if the car was just going straight ahead with no turns?

View 2 RepliesTry setting your fader entirely to the back speakers and tell me if the sound coming out is at all full/complete. I can hardly hear anything coming from the back.
View 24 RepliesOur 03 V6 Touareg has had this problem for a while now and the dealer doesn't seem to be able to do anything. When first started in the morning and reversed out of the driveway the car JERKS back and forth really bad. So bad that if you're standing outside the car you can see the car rock back and forth. We use 93oct in the car. There is also hesitation during acceleration. Has done this since day 1.
View 3 RepliesWhen I went out to my Touareg on my second day of ownership, I unlocked with the key fob and then heard this buzzing/humming sound from the back half of the vehicle. I would equate it to an electric antenna raising or lowering. It lasted about 4 seconds. When I stopped, locked and left the car for a few hours and returned, it did not happen.

View 4 RepliesI've replaced my headlights. the problem is putting it back on. I twist to a lock, but the headlights get loose in a couple of days and it needs to be tighten. I don't want to twist too hard in case anything breaks. Is there a way to adjust the headlight to ensure it being lock? I know I'm suppose to hear like a loud click when it's lock.
View 6 RepliesMy 2006 (with conti contacts, still in good shape) seems to behave differently from my 2004 (pirelli scorpions).
When accelerating and turning together (doesn't need to be a sharp turn, can be gradual), occasionally I feel my back seem to "slide" a bit. It's a strange sensation and I can't seem to really place it. It doesn't feel like I'm fishtailing, more like the outer rear wheel in the turn is accelerating a little too fast and pushing my rear end a bit too far too fast.
It only happens for a second and then everything is normal again. I haven't had any troubles with my 2006 beyond this (besides the DVD nav issue). But it does give me a bit of concern, as if the AWD system is a little "off".
When I back up the T-egg and at the same time I press the brake to control the speed. I hear a strange sound coming from the rear brake. Something like I hit something. How often? I would say, always. I went to the dealer 2 months ago and could not duplicate at that time.
View 8 RepliesI just got my new 2004 t-reg three weeks ago. We have experienced an onslaught of rain the past week here in the east and i noticed that my window leaks water into the tub of my trunk and down the back sidewall when the trunk is fully opened. Little droplets coming through and causing some serious soaking of my trunk area.
View 2 RepliesI just got a 04 Touareg and I have the strange issue that the back passenger door won't lock. All other doors close and when I open this one door the alarm goes off. I don't have keyless entry; I tried using the remote, the normal lock on the drivers side as well as all four door lock switches, nada. Surprisingly when I unlock the car I hear a click inside the door so it seems there is at least a electrical connection. I already checked the cable plugs going from the door but they all seem to be in place.
