2007 VW Touareg 3.6 VR6 Project (Part 7) "First Test Drive -FAIL"

We finally get our 2007 VW Touareg V6 back together for our fist test drive. But first we have to replace the transmission oil pan, while we are at it, we replace the filter as well. After topping off all the fluids, and bleed the brakes we head off for our first test drive since we've replaced the timing components. The first half starts off well, with no apparent problems. But after we stop to turn around we decided to put the scanner on the vehicle to monitor things a little closer. We check codes and find a camshaft position sensor code, but no check engine. We start our way back to the house when the stability control light comes on, then the check engine light comes on. As soon as I say its not in limp mode, it goes into limp mode and looses power as we are climbing a hill. We pull over to see if we can get it out of limp mode, we were able to get it out of limp mode so we get home. But as we are making our way home, we start hearing & feeling a loud thud banging sound from the drive line area. Well this test drive didn't go as planned, so we have more troubleshooting to do our V6 Touareg.Show more
