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 RepliesMy lcd on the radio showed the station/song for the first day and a half I owned it.. but now its not showing it.. same channel, same places, just not working.. is it a quirk? or did I adjust a setting and not notice that I turned it off?. I check the FAQ and did not see this question.
View 4 RepliesMFI displayed a check lights error. Front drivers headlight was out. Started car 2 hours later and headlight worked fine. Seems strange.
View 3 RepliesMy Car is stuck in the ignition, the display show please put in park. The key cannot take out. The dealer replace the dash board and have no success. Car in shop for 10 days already. There was another Touareg that had the same problem.
View 6 RepliesMy drivers edition gti is 2 weeks old. In 2 occasions, when I put the car in drive, I got that warning chime and some message flash on my dash. It happens so fast that by the time I look to see what it is, it disappears. No warning message stays on, and all fluids are ok. Any clue what's going on before I take it to the dealer? Not sure if there will be a fault code.
View 4 RepliesLately I get a sound when I hit 45MPH or higher and it sounds like an old washing machine, it stops while presing the brakes or lowering the speed back to aprox. 45MPH.
View 6 RepliesI have a 09 RX350 and noticed this light (just a red car, like the open door light but without any door) as seen in picture that came on randomly during driving but disappeared itself shortly. It happened about 2-3 times in the last few days. I cannot find what light is for in the owner's manual.
View 4 RepliesWhen 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 drove my wifes 04 with 87k miles. driving at 40+ mph, there appears to be a rubbing noise coming from the front passenger side, i lightly applied the brakes and the noise was still there but slowing down to under 40 it was gone?
View 7 RepliesWhenever I applies a brake and the was almost stop, I always heard a strange sound from the front passenger side. What is happened?
View 8 RepliesI have this strange noise coming from the engine compartment on the passenger side of my vehicle. Here are the characteristics of the sound:
1) Sounds a bit like a skipping tranny. Fast paced creaking type sound.
2) Only happens when coasting and the car is up to temperature. Meaning when I'm accelerating or braking the sound is not present.
BTW, the vehicle has 28k-29k miles and is 18 months old.
I 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 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.
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 RepliesI 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?
