Top 5 Failures of the Volkswagen Touareg
The VW Touareg and I have spent many many hours together. Some of that time was great, other times were a real struggle. I really learned how to be a technician because of the Touareg and all the problems that it had. There are many reasons that the VW Touareg was such a nightmare for customers and techs. That being said, if the Touareg never happened, I would not be nearly as good of a mechanic as I am today.

Hi Humble!
A friend of mine inherited a 2006 Touareg and I want to help give it a tune-up and fix any other issues I find. I want to purchase a repair manual for this vehicle like the Bentley manuals I purchase for my BMWs. I cannot find a good repair manual source. Can you recommend a good repair manual?
Hi Humble,
I recently purchased a used post diesel gate warrantied 2012 TDI Toureg. A 30amp fuse blows every other day. When it does the electric steering rack stops working. The Hydraulic steering still works but it’s just harder to turn. The footwell lights will go out as well as the horn. When I replace it everything starts working again. The interior dome lights never work either even though i have zero blown fuses.
I have 3 faults that an OBDeleven will not clear:
00059 – Terminal 30 for Interior Lighting
01330 – Central Control Module for Central Convenience
03233 – Garage door opener operating unit
Should i just trade this thing in? Did I buy someone else’s problems?
