Yes, I STFA but didn't come up with a solution. This is displayed on driver info display, so i replaced the battery in the keyfob. The the keyless entry works a few times then all of a sudden keyless entry doesn't work and the display "key battery empty" comes on again. When i take the battery out and put it in again, same thing happens, works then doesn't work. The battery is good but this keeps happening over and over again.
View 6 RepliesOn my display, I get a "Key Battery is Empty" alarm with a little key symbol that stays there as long as I am driving. I have replaced the battery...still the alarm. I have tried the other FOB...still the alarm. The thing is, the FOB works (I have the keyless start) so it seems to be a software issue but how do I reset it without venturing down to the dealer?
View 4 RepliesEvery second or third time I turn over the engine, I get a warning telling me my key battery i dead. It's a 2006, so I can see how it might be. But the thing is, it still works from far away and the automatic unlock when I touch the handles never fails either.
Is it common to get a warning when there's still juice left in the battery or is this an error?
When you first pull out your dipstick on a touareg v-10 it will show no oil at all. but when you check it a second or third time it reads fine.
View 9 RepliesI had my dead 12V replaced two weeks ago with a new OEM batt. The car had been working fine until I parked it in the garage four days ago. There was a single bar of HV charge left at that time, at least according to the MFD. Today it's stone dead, not even a single beep or a blinking light. I've attached a working 12V battery to the jumpstart points under the bonnet and the dash came alive, but the car would not start. The HV battery gauge on the MFD had no bars, and the shifter indicators were all flashing.
Is my HV really dead? Would it really take only four days to discharge completely and take the new 12V with it? Perhaps the OEM 12V was faulty and another 12V battery (not a booster) is not enough to jumpstart the car?
So I fill up today, 20plus gallons, the gauge shows near empty prior fill-up and after it is very very slow to show full. First I was confused and to make certain I filled again but the tank is full.. So, I guess a) the gauge is just slow to react or b) the sending unit called it quits or c)
View 5 RepliesI never see my battery full or empty. Why? There are always 1 or 2 levels missing or left, and it can't go any further.
View 17 RepliesWe get a flat tyre notice at least once a week. ( Checked the pressure with the gauges from two of our other cars.) NO FLAT. Pressure as when previously checked.NOT FROM COLD WEATHER. Our temperature here in South Florida stays fairly constant.
The "Key Battery Empty" notice arrives regularly, and we change the battery [2032] just as a precaution and the message again appears.
The 2004 W12 is still under 'warranty'.
I recently had an issue of my car not starting, battery empty, so battery needed a charger to start the car, but now the Nav screen does not work at all. no backup camera, nothing. Radio still works fine.
So i am guessing its a fuse. I looked at the fuse box on the driver side, but can't seem to find the appropriate fuse.
I replaced the battery in my 2011 Sonata. After the install I reset the radio, clock etc. and everything seemed to work fine electronically. The car was very low on gas and when I filled it later that same day the "Distance to Empty" display in the dash only read 271 miles after fill up. Typically when it is filled it reads 550+ to empty. After three tank fulls the display now reads 375 when filled up. Is there a reboot for this function? Does it have to be done by a dealer?
View 21 RepliesI have an 1979 F150, 351 V8, only 104,000 miles. Been driving it sporadically, had it serviced over the years, been driving it until recently. At least three new batteries have drained to dead in short amounts of time. No one seems to be able to pinpoint the trouble. It has two gas tanks--the original tank overflows out the filler cap in hot weather, even when mostly empty. I must find this trouble. Again--it's been seen by several repair shops, but no one has fixed the problem.
View 1 RepliesI was towing an enclosed trailer (4000lbs) this past weekend on the interstate and the low coolant warning came on. I pulled in at the next exit at a truck stop to look for distilled water and they did not have any. I decided to buy an off brand long life premixed coolant, pink in color and topped off the overflow tank with about 1/2 gallon of coolant. After reading about not mixing coolants with the G12 that comes in the Touareg, will I have to drain the entire cooling system and refill with G12? or is this not enough to worry about? Should I get the dealer to do this for free since they just serviced my truck prior to my trip and I told them I was going to be towing and to make sure everything is okay?
View 9 RepliesHad a strange thing happen this weekend. Hadn't driven the truck for a day, and when I started it up, I got a TP warning for the right rear. I broke out my trusty tire pressure gauge, and they were all perfectly equal at 45 psi. I restarted the car a couple of times, but I kept getting the warning. Then, I had the system re-learn the pressures and I was fine. How to resolve this problem. Hope this doesn't start to happen too often.
View 10 RepliesStarted my treg this morning and got the tire pressure warning. Cchecked in convenience setup to see which one had low pressure, and it indicated all four tires were low. Filled tires up and checked pressure again (manually using digital gauge) and they were correct. Started up treg and still got tire pressure warning for all four tires.
View 4 RepliesI have about 1K miles on new steel springs V8 Touareg. In my dash, I have a yellow symbol that looks like a "slippery when wet" street warning sign....(minimally outlined body of T'reg with 2 squiggly lines under it), exactly in the spot for the ESP warning light (this is NOT a triangle with an open at the bottom circle around it). The symbol stays lit. I get nothing when I press my ESP button, other than it says ESP OFF. It suddenly came on this morning.
I looked through the whole manual. Nothing actually shows the console area that matches mine. The only console pictures are of the air=springs equipped models.
Nothing in the manual explains this exact symbol either.
I got into my car this morning and saw a orange round with things coming off of it warning symbol. I think that this has something to do with a light out. I did not look but restarted the treg and puff gone. I looked in the OM but did not find it.
View 4 RepliesI had my touareg used for almost three years and never added any coolant. Today was first time I saw coolant warning on dash. I tuned off car and restarted and it was gone.
View 5 RepliesMy A/C dropped out, which alerted me to the temp gauge which was high, then to the "overheating" warning in the display.
I parked it to allow it to cool, then drove on with the heat cranked to shed some heat, only to have to park it again. After only a 3.5 hr wait (what a joke), VW's roadside sub-contractor showed up with a flat-bed to bring it to Rod East VW in San Antonio.
I am still waiting for their diagnosis. I did take some time this weekend to test drive a truck and look at some other vehicles, but nothing in this price range is appealing to me.
Despite the grief I go through with this thing, it's still the best value. I've got 52k miles on my loaded '04 V8.
I was driving to work this morning & all of a sudden, I get a warning light saying "check gas cap". Got off the car & tighten the cap & the message is still there. Is there a switch to reset the warning or should I just replace the cap?
View 2 RepliesI am considering a few different Touaregs with different options. Two near the top of my list happen to have the nav system. One thing I noticed when I test drove a car with the nav is that every time I powered the car on, I had to dismiss a warning on the nav screen. This looks to be really annoying, especially since the UI for the radio is on the same screen.
View 1 RepliesI washed the Touareg this weekend and when I got in to go to work this morning the "check brake pad" warning came on. It was quite cold after the car wash and the vehicle sat for 12 hours. Could the washing then sitting in the cold have something to do with this warning?
