Finally! Engine Drop in the V10 TDI Touareg - High Mileage Engine Removal

- Today we finally set aside some time to remove the V10 Twin Turbo Diesel out of my high mileage Touareg. See what oily mess it is after 230k miles. We pulled it to delete, tune, and make some repairs. This was much less of a undertaking than most people have made it out to be.

Keep working at Touareg please, you are doing an awesome job. Big hugs from Romania.
Thanks for the kind words, we will keep plugging away on it.
Same thing, dropping the engine on the v10 Touareg isn't the end of the world. Heck i even did it outside in my driveway without a lift.
Glad to see another, nice work on getting it done on the ground. Thanks for watching!
How?!
thanks guys for confirming that it was 4 hours labour and also that you downed it onto jack stands. I am about to buy a V10 from 2004 with 220k km and am reading all kinds of horror stories but usually its stories from non mechanical people taking them to stealerships.
Excited to see the deletes done to it
You and me both! Should be quite the difference. Thanks for watching.
Love the video man. I have an 06 v10 in nz I plan to drop the engine out this year some time to delete egr etc and some maintenance. I've found the car as a whole much more easier to work on then what you read on the internet like you say. I love driving it and enjoy owning it also.
It is a very fun thing to own, I don't have to rely on mine so it takes a lot of the stress out of it. But they drive like nothing else. Hope you enjoy yours, thanks for watching!
@@LostCauseRanch yea I dont rely on mine either luckily haha
I owned 2004 dor 7 years 100% reliable
I bet you enjoy it, awesome vehicles.
While I agree it's not much different from any other car, I believe what people say about these is mainly that you can't do major engine work at home without a lift. I'd be inclined to agree with that too, I don't see how you would be getting this sucker out with a cherry picker, which is at least possible if not easy for most other cars.
Other than that, happy new year and I look forward to seeing where you go with this project! I love these touaregs!
It would be an undertaking doing it without a hoist. But you would just have to remove the bumper, coolers and radiator support and pick it with an engine hoist and slide it out the front. Thanks for watching!
@@LostCauseRanch Ah, the classic "assume the service position". I was unsure if the touaregs also have this or not. I did it for an Audi a4 once to replace a timing belt, getting the front back together was almost harder that removing the engine itself would have been!
Yep the old Audi/vw fun, after you do one of the a4s or the like they are pretty quick to get in service position. The Touareg isn't quite as smooth easy as the a4 but still doable.
I’m in Houston and have an 08 Treg V10 with 50k on the engine. It has starting problems and my guess is that it’s a starter solenoid issue. Starter solenoid is an engine out job.How would you like to drop the engine, replace the starter, replace the alternator and anything else that looks dodgy??
It’s been with the VW dealer for the past 10 weeks and they are still scratching their heads.
I want to buy V10 but I'm scared 🤣🤷♂️🤦♂️
They are neat. Can be heavy in maintenance cost and the newest one is 12 years old. But nothing else on the road like it.
Lost Cause Ranch yes I know... there are quite a few over here in the UK but like everywhere else you've just got to find a good one with good history 👍🏻✅👌🏻

Any plans to continue the tire swing out? I have an 09 T2 and plan on doing a swing out.
Yes. It's on the list of things to get done. I have the pieces still sitting around to finish it.
How long did it take to pull the motor in real time ?
I don’t remember exactly off the top of my head. But it was done in a couple days in between working in customer stuff. Realistically probably 4-5 hours of actual time.
What’re you planing to do man I’ve always wanted a V10 treg
Its getting some exhaust leaks fixed and then tuned and deleted, I'll have an update video on that soon. Thanks for watching!
@@LostCauseRanch where did you send your ECUs off to get tuned?
Great video! Embrace jump cuts when explaining things.
Appreciate the feedback. I'm learning the whole editing thing as we go. Thanks for watching!
i guess it's pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online?
