Massive thank you to the boy's at Vag Technic, my Touareg is driving great! Would defiantly recommend these guys to anyone and I'm a technician my self. Definitely worth the wait.
Great example of how service done in time leaves positive experience to the owner and mechanics. Inside of the engine was a good proof as well of oil changes done in proper time witch is key in longevity of the engine. Even tho i'm not a fan of vw engineering from early beginnings of the v6 diesel but it's a solid proof that it's usable with proper maintenance. Thank you for sharing.
…I’m confused…. He literally just keeps filming as he goes, thats the sequence. Nothing ground breaking about that. Now the editing to keep it short but still to the point, maybe.
Wow great job guys, my Touareg had issues with the hydr. timing chaim tensioner, got it replaced on warranty. Insane to see that massive engine out of the car. Great content!
Nice job! Clearly your commitment to doing quality work is very evident. Also, that you have your customer's interest in mind by making sure all critical issues are addressed while you have the opportunity to do so. Looking forward to future videos.
In total awe of your technical knowledge and expertise. How on earth do you reach that level? I have always a mystery screw or bolt left over and it's always a relief when the repair is successful!
Amazing video my man, videography was on point this entire time. I find it nuts that all of this was required on a vehicle less than 10 years old and less than 100,000k, somewhat shameful in my opinion.
Just found you guys, thx to YT. As an owner of a 2014 TDI Touareg (and former B5 S4 Avant) , I enjoyed watching both this video and the similar Q7 TDI video, subbed. Cheers from 🇺🇸
😎 I really appreciate that you show all the important details and that you don't talk about stupid things that don't matter. 😎 so many bloggers just want to put their faces out there for attention and that's why their faces are 90% of the video. Good job my brother from Huntington beach Ca.🏄♂️
Definitely subscribing. I'm starting to see a trend on this channel and I've noticed that all the customers seem to spend the money to take care of their vehicles no matter how old they are. "Most" Americans on the other hand may drive their vehicles until the wheels fall off and then junk it.
Great video! I would have also changed out the oil cooler because it will fail at some point and start leaking coolant and oil. It's not a matter of "if" but "when."
As always, great content, great commentary, great filming and great music. I don’t know why you do not have ten times as many subscribers. If I ever need major work on my T5.1, I will be contacting you guys! Thanks for the videos. 👍
Always great to watch you guys working. Did you find the problem with the rattling? The timing chain looked healthy so did you replace for preventative maintenance?
I appreciate the engineering talent to do all this work. But I Think it’s shame on VW that such an amount of work needs to be done at less than 100,000 miles, and the work is so complex.
I agree completely. They mention that it is nothing for one of these engines to go 100,000 miles but I don’t consider that very reliable if you have to spend $6000 every hundred thousand miles for timing chains and fixing a whole bunch of oil leaks.
@@markkauffman6184 Buy a VW and oil leaks are included at no charge. 😂.. I have a 13 Touareg TDI and have oil leaks. Front crank seal has been replaced under warranty, as well as water pump, and EGR cooler leak (sloooowwwww coolant leak), but I think my oil filter housing is also leaking, plus suspect a tired hydraulic chain tensioner(I have had startup rattle for years), other than those nuisance leaks, it runs perfectly. 127,000 miles. Still least expensive to own car I have ever had. Plan on keeping it going another 10 years. There is no replacement .
@Ow-My-Achilles You probably don't want to hear my story then. 2012 Camry 216000 miles, nothing more than changing filters, oil, tires and brakes. The only exception to that was the torque converter which was covered under warranty at 140000 miles.
@@markkauffman6184 My mother has a 2002 Corolla still going with over 168,000 miles (last I checked). Just regular maintenance. I also had a 2003 4Runner for exactly 10 years (121,000 miles) and is was bulletproof reliable and easy to do regular maintenance. Toyota has a great reputation for reliability for a reason. BUT unfortunately my needs changed, and no 4Runner can tow a 6000 pound toy hauler. Not designed to do it and under powered for it. My Touareg has a spec tow rating of 7700 pounds, and there are no diesel options from Toyota in the US. This means that a Toyota Tundra or Sequoia that might do the towing job when needed, but would cost a fortune to buy and drive when not towing a trailer. So reality is to buy the vehicle that can best meet all your needs. If I had no reason t tow, or carry a motorcycle hitch carrier, or live where AWD in Winter is required, then I would choose a small car like a Corolla or RAV4. Unlikely in my near future.
New subscriber here and not audi fan but this videos are so satisfying to watch!! I like the way you work, the quality of vids, the soundtracks and you voice doesn’t bore me at all!! I also like variety diesel and petrol. I must watch every video. 👍 keep it up
As an ex-mechanic I always enjoy the content and your skills. However, if 99k miles is 'absolutely nothing' then it shouldn't really need £3k spent on maintenance!
@@Eastbarn1 I have 135,000 miles on my 3.0 Audi Diesel and 267,000 miles on my Audi 3.2 gas engine. Both have original timing chains/guides. Just regular service and they have served me well. I also had 275,000 miles on my Audi A4 1.8T before I sold it.
I have an 2014 Audi A6 3.0 TDI. Only have 136,000 and do maint. myself. I also have an 05 Audi A6 3.2 with 276,000 miles. Both run well and see no need to do any such maint. work on the TDI. I also had a modified A4 1.8T with 275,000 miles before my brother purchased for his kids.
Yes you have a Diesel engine with absolutely nothing in miles but it’s leaking like hell, the timing chain looking fine but gets changed anyway, ( and the rattle?) and a £3-4K Bill.!! Expensive maintenance.!!
I agree with the fact that, It is good to changed Parts of a car with New ones, but if we have to do so, It means after 100 000 Miles the car is done. There was a leak on the Filter hausing and they do timing chain etc etc
very nice job. super impressive. I would have had a million pieces left over after assembly, assuming I got it all apart in the first place. I wish you guys lived close to where I am (in US).
You should paint the shop walls white and light grey epoxy the floor. Would look fantastic. I worked at a shop with this setup and you didn't need a flashlight under the vehicle on a lift.
I am impressed, what sort of cost is that job? Not sure my touareg is worth what that must cost. Great job guys. I took a push bike apart once and ended up with spare bolts lol
Awesome work I really wish there were guys like you In Ontario Canada I have a 2014 Touareg tdi cnrb and needs a bit of work and i unfortunately just don’t have the time to do it.
"Only 99.000 miles, which is absolutely nothing for these diesel engines"... Does that mean, despite certain common issues like the chain tensioner, you believe they are pretty good engines? Great videos, and now also sound! 😉
What!? Changing the gearbox oil? It's a lifetime oil. 😉 Or that's how it's advertised in the US. I asked the dealership to drop the gearbox pan and filter on my 2012 Touareg TDI. They really tried to deter me from doing it. I'm going to just start doing that maintenance at an independent VW shop now.
If you have not heard of it, there is a flame-less heat gun called the mini-ductor 2 by Induction Innovations. They have a few different models but the MiniDuctor 2 is the most common. It is a fantastic tool for stubborn exhaust bolts/nuts, suspension, etc etc... I have not been disappointed with mine, however i have noticed it will time out on larger bolts. They also make the "Venom" model which is more powerful i believe...
I own two vehicles with these engines way past 300,000 miles. An '06 ASB and a '15 CTBA with nothing major apart from injectors, swirl flaps and EGR on the former and injectors on the latter. *Touch wood.. Change your oil with 507.00 regularly (like 6k)! Beautiful engines, especially the later one. *Touch wood again.
Very impressive,do you have a website with prices for "regular" Jobs? I miss a reliable repair shop that actually does the work they charge for and you guys seem very serious...Worth the long drive for.
Nice job and that was interesting due to the fact we have one from 2014. Is it how it's driven that causes the chain pensioners to wear to the point this work needs to be done? Ours has just completed 62,000 miles. It's quite daunting to think work like that is on the horizon!
most impact on chain and tensioner wear is how often you change the engine oil, on my 5.7 petrol engine that is floored where is possible, i change oil every 5-7000km, and chain is as new after 212000km
Hi guys Great video 1 question for you? There is small kind of oil valve next left of water pump What it does ,its getting small oill leak What it is ? Valve ? Sensor ? How its called so i can order new one . Thanks
Awesome tear-down - at 138k on my 2013 Treg I am now energised to change the “sealed for life” ATF - and investigate a very slight oil leak - how easy would it be to change the oil pump seal that you found was leaking without dropping the engine? Keep up the great work…
In Australia there are a lot for sale with around 200,000 kilometres. Are the facelift My15 models known to have less issues with the engine and leaks? I hear real main seal, injectors can be problems.
ty BG pripravky davate do kazdeho auta? stary motor/novy motor ? doporucil by jste to tam pridavat nebo je to jen ciste kvuli servisu, ktery na nem budete delat ?
But the engine out looked really well thought out as far as removing it. I have seen longitudinal gearboxes harder than this to take out. So that’s something right ? You just need a 2 poster by the look of it.
Fascinating film but, after watching a few of these, I would never buy a V6 VAG engined car. This one sounded like it was still ticking to me, how noisy are they supposed to be?
Great job and nicely done video! Do you recommend to flush the gearbox when changing the transmission fluid or it’s not necessary as you also change the bottom housing with magnets?
Ill be doing this is near future. I know the chain rattle on start up is a tensioner issue. As they updated the tensioner to include a o ring or soemthing. Hopefully that is the fix.
@@VAGTechnic If this is a known problem from VAG how is there no extended warranty or class action law suit. I can do mine myself but anyone else is paying crazy.
@@frijus100 that being? mine is 2014. what would be a 3rd gen version of that engine? my brother in law has a 2016 cayenne diesel. would that be third gen?

Zdravím chlapci dobre odvedená práca radosť pozerať že sú aj zodpovedný mechanici ako ste vy. Rozmýšľam nad kúpou 2015 vw touareg 3.0tdi ale 150kw je to dobré auto po motorovej stránke? Načo si dávať pozor pri 150kw verzií.Tento čo ste robili je 180kw ak sa nemýlim? Ci radšej ist do silnejšieho motora ako 150kw?ďakujem za odpoveď
Great work, interesting and great channel. I am in the market for an suv, I have been looking at touaregs and Audi SQ5 between 2013-2015 and 90-130k miles for both. Are these 3.0tdi/Btdi v6 engines good as long as servicing is kept up to for the regular joe to keep on the road..
All depends on service and driving history. Certainly a lot of failure points and plastic parts but overall solid v6 engine and way better gas mileage than regular fuel. Maintenance is never going to be less expensive than a similar American or Japanese v6 though. As you can see you need to be a well trained mechanic to work on German engineering. And yes it is depressing to see the amount of cheap plastic parts as an owner of this exact engine in my Q5. But I didn't buy the car thinking it would be cheap to maintain and its a beauty to drive, best transmission I've ever owned (which zf 8 is an absolute tank too) and extremely comfortable suspension. Driving is fun versus just going from point a to b. If you can find a well maintained model in that range and get an inspection done im sure you would enjoy the driving of the car. However you may not enjoy the maintenance bills. Just my two cents. Btw when I bought mine it had an extended emissions warranty from diesel gate - which is now lapsed. But that allowed some repairs to be covered at dealership for first couple years. Probably a reason most tdis continue to drop in price as the miles go up now though.
@@iareburgman Thanks for the detailed reply, I ended up settling on an Audi S3 manual in the end and am loving it. Already had a saloon so having 2 big cars didn’t seem logical. Get decent power and Less in running costs too.
@@davidmalone8868 nice! How many miles were on it when you picked it up?? Love some of those old manual gear boxes. Project car or something you're gonna tune up?

Tomasi nemali ste tu nahodou aj video od Touarega 4,0 V8 tdi ? alebo si to pletiem z inym kanalom?
Zdravím chlapci dobre odvedená práca radosť pozerať že sú aj zodpovedný mechanici ako ste vy. Rozmýšľam nad kúpou 2015 vw touareg 3.0tdi ale 150kw je to dobré auto po motorovej stránke? Načo si dávať pozor pri 150kw verzií.Tento čo ste robili je 180kw ak sa nemýlim? Ci radšej ist do silnejšieho motora ako 150kw?ďakujem za odpoveď
Nice job lads.
Great informative video! What brand of tools do you guys use? Thanks
Great work, interesting and great channel. I am in the market for an suv, I have been looking at touaregs and Audi SQ5 between 2013-2015 and 90-130k miles for both. Are these 3.0tdi/Btdi v6 engines good as long as servicing is kept up to for the regular joe to keep on the road..
All depends on service and driving history. Certainly a lot of failure points and plastic parts but overall solid v6 engine and way better gas mileage than regular fuel. Maintenance is never going to be less expensive than a similar American or Japanese v6 though.
As you can see you need to be a well trained mechanic to work on German engineering. And yes it is depressing to see the amount of cheap plastic parts as an owner of this exact engine in my Q5. But I didn't buy the car thinking it would be cheap to maintain and its a beauty to drive, best transmission I've ever owned (which zf 8 is an absolute tank too) and extremely comfortable suspension.
Driving is fun versus just going from point a to b. If you can find a well maintained model in that range and get an inspection done im sure you would enjoy the driving of the car. However you may not enjoy the maintenance bills. Just my two cents.
Btw when I bought mine it had an extended emissions warranty from diesel gate - which is now lapsed. But that allowed some repairs to be covered at dealership for first couple years. Probably a reason most tdis continue to drop in price as the miles go up now though.
@@iareburgman Thanks for the detailed reply, I ended up settling on an Audi S3 manual in the end and am loving it. Already had a saloon so having 2 big cars didn’t seem logical. Get decent power and Less in running costs too.
@@davidmalone8868 nice! How many miles were on it when you picked it up?? Love some of those old manual gear boxes.
Project car or something you're gonna tune up?
@@iareburgman had 84000 on 64 plate.. plan to do some bits on it for 400hp which seems fairly achievable with bolt on mods and decent clutch. 👍🏻
How much this repair was? Parts/labor? Is this same problem in 2015 a6 3l 272bhp engine?
