How a Failed VW Transmission Sent This Car to the Junkyard??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- This Automatic transmission had poor shifting. That lead to this 2006 VW Touareg basically being scrap. In this video we teardown this transmission to find the transmission failure. Transmission failure is a common vehicle failure, but this Touareg transmission is pretty solid! #humblemechanic #VW #fail

I always get so pumped when we find the issue. Stay tuned for the Other Touareg video very SOON!!!!
can you do another challing video like the drag race one it was so cool and fun
I haven't talked with Gears about that. Id be down again. We usually do that once a year.
lol sya he found the cause but what he found is the symptom check the pump and valve body u neglected them
Long time subscriber, first time commenter :D
Have you worked on 2.0TDI VW Crafters before? I have some issues and I would love an expert opinion.
Willing to pay since I am sure you are a busy man.
Mr. @@HumbleMechanic, do you know why an Automatic car would stall at a stop when in drive
I replaced the clutch & disks on an M-Editon MX6 V6, however the prior stalling unless I put it in Neutral isn't happening but it feels like it wants to happen as you can hear the engine fighting to stay alive against the resistance of the brakes
I did use bunch of thick Lucus to limp it home when it burnt out, but the whole unit was disassembled aside from valve passages(&TC I can't remember)so the fluid should all be quality Castrol stuff meeting & exceeding the recommendations
So is there something else wrong, or is it some amount of Lucus causing it to feel like the wheelspeed or lack thereof creating drag against the engine idling at a stop in gear, out does another part need replacement?
“Lifetime fluid” is very expensive in the long run. I’ve always done my DSG changes strictly on 40k intervals. Even though the fluid looks fine I still change it on time and have never had a problem with any of them.
depending on the dsg there is a service interval. the dry cluch dsg boxes dont need to be serviced because of the mech unit being seperate from the gearbox side
Yup remember to a manufacture "Lifetime" is when warranty runs out.
Lifetime fluid is the correct title though, because when the fluid stops working well, it kills the transmission.
Changing the DSG fluid and filter is good, but there are shops which do DSG flushes. I have seen plenty DSGs that shifted worse after the flush. According to Scotty Kilmer, the flushing machines blow contaminated fluid through the solenoids where the particles may stick in the solenoids. Causing them to work improperly. Just change the oil regularly.
I've never owned a Nissan, but supposedly a lot of the reason CVTs today still get a bad rap is because Nissan slapped "lifetime fluid" on all of the models in their first few years and then it completely backfired on them when people realized CVTs hate old fluid.
I absolutely marvel at how complex automatic transmissions are, and that they last for as long as they do. Now the adoption of classic automatic transmissions are coming to a close with the adoption of electric vehicles. Servicing these old transmissions will be a black art 20-30 years from now. Heck - it's a black art today with some dealerships/auto shops! 😆 Thanks for the teardown Charles!
I mean, economically... it's easier and cheaper to replace a transmission in a lot of cases than it is to tear one apart, diagnose the problem, get the parts, replace them, put it back together, throw it in, and pray it works. Pop the old one out, pop a new one in, DONE.
@@scott8919 yeah, if the problem is not properly fixed it's another 3 grands in labour later, I'd rather have it replaced with a new or at least known good 2nd hand rather than trying to fix this one.
The clutch was faulty but we don't really know why, if the reason is not running low on fluid it will happen again.
Kinda why I shudder to think about the disappearance of manuals in new cars.
I know it’s a big job and most people don’t have a trans jack but I can theoretically service my manual myself. I’d be fucked with a DSG or traditional auto.
The first transmission I ever opened was from the 90s, first it was 98% metal second it looked way better than this one, and the outer case was covered in dirt and grime. kinda funny, buying the whole overhaul kit was less than 500 dollars, but it does take countless hours of Assembly to rebuild a transmission. It's sad to know, like on any other industry the coast to repair never comes from the spare parts, it mostly comes from the aggregate cost of service.
and that is why everything is disposable, and they stop making spares for old models.
Love when you do these. I hate to see an otherwise salvagable car junked.
In my 10+ years with VW/Audi, I had ONE of those O9D transmissions fail. Did a few Valve bodies but IMO one of the Best Transmissions Aisin ever made.
When I was first an apprentice at the GM stealership, I worked with our master tech and he was a transmission specialist. It was always a treat to watch him shred one apart and go through it. If it's not something you do often, transmission work is unnerving to say the least
Very informational. It'd be cool to see an 02J teardown.
and 02a
I remember reading an article by Paul Van Valkenburg on the history of the automatic transmission in Automobile Quarterly, and although I would follow along generally as I understand most of the processes on how a car operates, to this day, torque converter automatics are still a Rubic's cube for me. Your DSG video with Jason years ago was stupid simple compared to this. Thanks and save the manuals.
As a Ford transmission tech (aka 8F35 and 10R60/80/140s pay my bills), I find it strangely soothing to watch teardown and rebuilds of various transmissions. I should probably find a few on the A4CF2 since my Elantra is starting to act stupid in shifts. My Focus has been an absolute monster. I guess the 4F27e is the best.
Exactly same kind of thing that did my Nissan maxima in with a older stepped transmission. It’s still going living on lucus after 3x drain and fill it’s lost 4th gear but still moves. Going on. 3-4 years now
Love these type of videos. Always learn so much
I would really love to see a G60 tear down but we all know what that usually means as far as car selection. great video as always
I’d like to see a dsg transmission tear down
The second part of the video where you talk about how it all works could really benefit from a small whiteboard I think.
Where is Engineering Explained when you need him LOL
I'm so intrigued in how things work, how about fixing that transmission for us average people
A voodoo hotspot, sounds painful! Cracking video 👍
Enjoyed the voodoo and witchraft transmission breakdown. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see ya man
Glad you’re back!
Cool stuff! It's always fun to see how it fits together and operates.
Probably the same transmission as in my BPY? Maybe? So I appreciate the gut shots, and hopeful that I never need to see my own.
Different trans, but functions the same, unless you have a DSG. Then it’s different
There are things I wont show like this wavy washer, LOL. Thank you for showing it though, it is cool.
Hahah I laughed at that too in editing
The inside of an automatic transmission is black magic and I'm pretty sure the inspiration for most scifi artists when designing antigravity neutrino warp drives
HAHHA FACTS
Brilliant channel, always enjoy your videos
Thank you!
Miss your content. Especially with ShopDAP
Back in action. And Paul will be back for a project... soon ;)
Years ago a coworker of mine bought a W8 Touareg for about three grand. The starter went about a month in. Was quoted 2 grand to replace. She sold it a few days later
Awesome video. Thanks so much! You kept saying thank God it’s not going back together. Why exactly? Was this transmission Not a good candidate for a rebuild? And how come rebuilds never last as long as the original factory ones? Even if the car financially isn’t worth it, I’ve had cars that it’s worth it to me to pay $3000 to fix the transmission if I really like the car but it’s not worth it if I pay $3000 and the transmission goes bad in two years so I transmission rebuilt in the shop inferior to brand new ones? Because the shops always try to say they’re superior but that’s not been my experience.
he stripped the thread on one of the boltholes during disassembly.
When I was a dealer tech 1990 we would get a transmission in a big plastic box all tested and rebuilt. We just installed them and put the core back in the box for return. In2010 I had a Jetta just out of warranty and the dealer quoted me 5600.00 for a rebuild unit No torq converter.
Now do a planetary gearbox from the toyota hybrids
Missed new content so much, thank you for all that you do! Almost done that TT? Would love thought on the last manual Golf R vs next gen dsg before electric takes over.
What I find most interesting is actual trouble shooting / diagnosing.
Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics ;)
Do a 2.5 please pretty pretty please lol
Been out of the transmission game for about 8 years now. Nice to keep up with someone still in the trenches.
As always, amazing video. The knowledge gained from this kind of teardown is fantastic. Can't wait for the the next video on touareg.
Wild you post this. I have a 2007 MK5 Jetta 2.5L Automatic with the 09G 6A from Aisan. Im currently dealing with rough shifting and the car revving up and not going anywhere after it gets hot. I've considered replacing the valve body as I have do a lot of work to the car so far and dont want to get rid of it. Where do you recommend getting a fair priced and good quality valve body from? ~ JT
basically , unless you have time to spare and can fix it yourself its beyond economical repair . no matter how nice the rest of it is.
Yep! its pretty sad really.
@@HumbleMechanic long gone are the days of just screw in an engine and box from a toyota pick up and be happy ,,, people expect so much more from a diesel these days , and the emissions have killed them , 300k out of an old german taxi was the norm in the 2000s ,,, and they talk about progress , it all seems to be going backwards these days .

Maaannnn if he could do a whole rebuild video on a 5 speed from a 2002-2005 wrx, that’d be awesome
"i wanted the VR6" how come i am not surprised 😂
Hahahha 😎
These teardown videos are always great. This is probably a tall order, but as a Mk6 R owner, I would love to see any content related to them that you haven't already done--I know some of the Mk5 GTI stuff applies, which I used to do some of my own DIY services, thanks for that.
Damn I need that bell housing 🤔 was searching for a mount for the starter to let a VR6 run without the car in place 👀
Oh damn I wish I’d have kept it!
@@HumbleMechanic nevermind, it would be an ocean away 😂
I'd like to see a Passat 3B5 / Audi A4 B5 DHW manual transmission teardown/repair. I've got plenty of these but even if i feel qualified to disassemble ande reassemble these correctly, i'd love to see an how to on them first. I'm a trained mechanic from germany but i mostly worked on engines so far. With my upcoming 1.8t tuning project i also want to check if there's anything i can do to make my transmission last another 25 jears.
I liked you digging into this transmission issues and finding it. Great work - keep on doing stuff like that.
Still keeping an ‘06 FSI engine alive, wouldn’t mind seeing one of those torn down if you find one
2.5 ?

Treggy laying down it’s life in the name of Voodoo. JK great video explaining these transmissions!!!
Definitely not your granddaddy's Powerglide.
Wouldn't mind seeing a strip down/rebuild of a 5 cylinder 2.5tdi.😊
I’d love that too. However, given that they weren’t sold in the us, I think a v10 tdi teardown would actually be more realistic… Basically almost the same thing anyway, just multiplied by 2 ;)
Onya Charles ..Good to see content ...Busy as you Are
2004 L7 V8 please show a few repairs for common issues. The transfer case chain, failed center shaft, repair for flex pipe failure both sides.
This man Just explains a automatic transmision beter than my teacher did lol
HHha thank you
An explanation of the torque converter for starting from stop or hard acceleration be good , i think it has to do with where the fluids are directed ?
I agree. I can't understand a TC without seeing it in 1/2 LOL
Great job Charles, have a good week💯👌👍🙏😎
would love to see a DSG teardown
Demystifying the "Magic Automatic Slush Box". Spending $5k on a $3k car, not smart. Parting out $3k car, smart.
LOL Semi parting out a $1300 POS to get a good engine, and brake upgrade... Priceless. Well also $1300 HAH
oh charles how i have missed you! ..also i have learnt tons with this video regarding automatic transmissions! props!
I missed you guys too!!! I think I have got the ship turned right so things are about to refun HAHA
Dying for an EA888.4 teardown.😅
What's going on with the Golf R and the R32? I'm impatient, my man... you got me on the edge of my seat! 😛
You should put a 13B (or even a 20B) into a golf!!
Can you do a video on CVT transmissions
I bought an 04 Touareg with 158k. Instant regret. Dealing with all kinds of problems now. These vehicles are just not made very well and don’t have the reliability that other makers have like Toyota. I have owned Volkswagens all my life and only one was actually reliable. I think those days are over though.
That fluid looked terrible. When I got my Toureg the first thing I did was replace all the driveline fluids.
I think we stuff like that worth taking it part just learn how it works. It doesn't matter if you brake something
I think the problem with out society starts with the pricing of the car to less than 3000 forcing people to buy new cars. Fix them! Their utility value is a functioning car.
so you found aftermath of the problem , not the problem itself . what you could do was to test the clutch pack piston by blowing compressed air into fluid passage leading to the piston . if too much air leaked around piston , then piston is the driver of the problem .
Figuring out why EA111 engines fail their head gaskets near the alternator and crunchy gears in 084/085 (5th gear oil starvation) transmissions...
Charles is back!
Cpnb tdi with the zf trans would be sweet to see a teardown in
DKNA 1.5 evo 2 head gasket failure explained
What is remarkable is how huge that box is for a fairly gutless V6 petrol engine. This box was cooked due to no oil changes, certainly not from engine power.
The poor VR is AMAZING in the R32, and sad in the Touareg
2002 f 250 4x4 transmission and how many miles do they usually last?powered by v10.
Can you look at the 6 Speed Tiptronic from say 2003 to 2010? They almost all failed (including my 2005 VW New Beetle), just out of warranty are were very expensive to replace. Some component(s) were clearly up for the job and I'm just wondering exactly what the cause for these failures are.
Lifetime fluid, just like 20k mile oil changes on synthetic oil is a load of crap. My idea of a lifetime for a car is 20 years+ not the 6 to 8 then bin it the companies plan for now.
Sorry to hear your shoe for juiced. Things will get better.
try
dq200 7 speed
Ah , Touareg . Unless it's a TDI they are in my opinion donor cars . My 2nd Smyth Ute ran an R32 clone engine built up around a Touareg 3.2 VR6.
Thankyou for this video I have this job to do as well
I’ve always been curious how a automatic gearbox works still very confusing how it works 😅 HumbleMechanic are you still doing a video on changing a timing chain on 2.8 vr6
The edit I’m at is a 3hr video 😳😳😳
@@HumbleMechanic wow i would happily watch it 😄 your videos are very educational and entertaining to watch I’m sure if you posted the video it would get viewers interested,I imagine editing video’s that long take a lot of time to edit but still a great video to watch
Idky but I love these videos
Does the 8p a3 2.0t from 2008 drive like a mk5 gti
so what ultimately toasted the clutches? From lack of trans fluid change? Low fluid? Or just defective parts?
Im not sure we can ever know exactly. I took the valve body apart and there wasnt much to see.
Funny, our Touareg had trans problems early on (mostly software defects)... The trans? Aisin which is Toyota. How did VW manage to make an Toyota trans suck? lol.. Worse, I work for Toyota lol. All that said, when I changed the trans fluid at 240k miles, it still looked brand new!
W12 engine from a VW Phaeton! I wanna see a teardown of that sucker!
Im always on the hunt for that one.
Scotty Kilmer says - the problem here is called "Aisin"
Have you ever taken apart a jetta hybrid transmission? They had a recall on it from hairline cracks in dsg 7 speed transmission. My hybrid jetta had 62,000 miles and I was told it needed a new transmission which VWsaid they aren’t responsible for, even though my car had same symptoms as recall jettas. But my car, along with so many others, is not on the recall. VW doesn’t even take transmissions apart.
I would personally be interested to see a teardown of the 3.0 TDI v6 or even a v10 if you could get your hands on one
I would be curious as to what the common failure points are for them
Hmm how about an Audi EA839 2.9/30 that would be interesting to see a tare dow.
If the transmission contains a bunch of clutch baskets... i guess that makes the transmission case the "basket case" 🤔
Exactly 🤣
I would like to see what causes it to fail. I'm we found the gun, but how pulled the trigger?
He done toldja. It was fluid starvation.
@@laalaa99stl yes what causes it
I'd love to see some on the v10 toureg, trying to get mine to run well
oh, thanks to remind me how i hate automatic transmitions :D
I'm working in dealership of VW , there is Phaton W12 , I'm looking to take it as a project ( wish me luck 🙏 )
Godspeed hahah
@@HumbleMechanic 😅🥲💔
Could you do a Pumpe Duse engine tear down?
Oh that’s a good one I should find one
Change your transmission fluid. It is not a lifetime fluid
Sadly vw says it is for most all transmissions. I guess technically they are right.
Also yes change that fluid
mk4 tip tronic cause I just cracked the housing on mine and debating whether to just do a manual swap. that would be great content too. manual swap mk4 1.8t jetta or gti.
Can you tear down a transmission and even the engine on a 2000 to 2002 Olds Intrigue, 3.5 liter v6?
If it's built by Peugeot...with Delrin gears....YES....(Ive been working on VW's since '93....you know which trans Im talking about)........the dreaded 01M🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮
A question for you and your subscribers: if you burn out the clutch on a manual car yet it is still functional, would it be harming any other components of the car, such as the gear box, if you delay replacing it?
No not at all, possibly the dual mass flywheel but unless it has physically failed (its springs for example), shouldn't be damaging a DMF either, though the DMF might not like the heat if it's being slipped constantly - nor will it last very long!
I love your teardowns, thank you! I own a 2007 A6 4.2 with 102K on the clock. I've owned it since new, oil changes are done regularly, it has been running very well. What can I expect for failures from a vehicle of that age?
luckily you don't have this junk trans in that a6. 4.2 is bulletproof if taken care of and that trans is solid. change the fluid and if you live in a snowy area don't be a idiot in the snow. car will last you forever. have you done your timing yet? what's really gonna hurt is the cost to do the timing chains/guides unless you can swing it yourself.
Your car is still new with 102K. I have a Touareg 2009 3.6L V6 with 230,000 miles and it is still strong. I do all the maintenance myself. I don't have much trust in auto shops or dealerships. I have never changed the timing chains since the car run smoothly.
@@carlosgraphic funny thing about timing, it runs smooth till it doesn't run at all XD.
@@rickylafleur5823 Timing chain, it is not like timing belt. The timing belt needs to be replaced with high mileage. The timing chain as long as the engine is well maintained will last until engine time. Unless there is some kind of problem related to it.
@@carlosgraphic never said belt and timing chains stretch a bit. not only that, those plastics guides get brittle as fuck over time whether you baby the car or not.
you are correct though, it will last the engines life because when they give say bye bye considering this is a interference motor. kind of like that lifetime transmission oil the dealer sells people on, it will last until that thing detonates prematurely.
Could you please do a teardown of a knackered differential on a 3.2 VR6, both front & rear? These are a VAG non-serviceable item but my 19 year old cherished A3 3.2 quattro came a complete cropper due to the fluid overheating after a high speed drive. Greetings from the UK!
If I can find one. You bet!!!
No wonder the guy who invented planetary gears etc went insane....
Do I need a downpipe gasket for my 2020 GTI when I install my downpipe
Hi @humblemechanic, I have a golf mk4 1.6sr with an automatic transmission and for some reason the car is stuck in one gear and goes forward even when in reverse or neutral. I have ran diagnostics and not seeing any fault codes from the TCM for the transmission and did fluid change and added a new filter kit as well, any idea what could be wrong?
