506.1 oil is VW spec, dealer sold, running on extended service intervals (30,000 - 50,000km / 24 months).
The specification was determined to avoid damaging the diesel pump in PD engines at those...
Smart remarks don't help.
And amateur comments don't help either.
I'm not in charge.
The solution to this issue should be a sticky post.
Thanks, again.
The question has been asked and answered. Persisting with useless questions helps no one.
Didn't miss it.
Thanks for repeating my advice.
Doesn't happen with an oiler.
And I doubt that it would happen in a petrol engine. Lots of North Americans lay their cars up for five months or longer without issues.
That doesn't make sense, and is not true. What trailer control module? The LED connector? Nothing needs to be "coded", if the wiring is done correctly.
I acknowledge your 3,900+ posts, but this...
Given a wheel size and vehicle model, measure from the centre of one stud to an adjacent stud.
It's 85mm for a 19" Touareg, for example.
That will tell the wheel guy if its 5 x 120 or 5 x 130....
Nope, that's dealer nonsense.
The intermediate LED 'black box' is the trick for LEDs; or an electric braking setup for towing - I have both.
I don't know why VW sales people don't ask this...
I live in Canberra. Relative extremes of hot and cold.
I pay to change engine oil and filter in June and November, as a minimum, for my three vehicles. Don't care how far I've gone.
It pays to...
A V10, car sales has a few on sale, can be had for under $40,000. Just got one :) $36,500, 97,000Km.
HPF do a great flash tune.

I've bought new wheels and tyres. Keeping one for a spare.
If anyone wants a (kerbed) original for a spare, let me know.
Three original wheels, 275/45/19 with good rubber.
Running the fridge off one of the car batteries is fine for 24-36 hours, while parked-up, IF you have something like a Varta Silver battery, and NOT a flooded cell battery, but you don't really want...
I've got the dial-up model. Thanks for the tip.
Your tyre diameter is 756 mm.
If you get the wheels to fit then, you will need 275/55/18 (760 mm, +1.70% difference) or 245/60/18 (751 mm, -1.74% difference).
Those two tyre sizes are most...
I posted earlier in the Newbies Section and also on lighting for towed items.
MY07 Touareg V10 TDi, 98,000 Km. Bought about a week ago and supposedly serviced by Penrith VW.

I have a Redarc electric brake controller (on dashboard), which sends the right signals, with or without electric brakes on towed items. I also have an intermediate unit for LEDs on towed items.

19" Conti 4x4 Sport Contact. $1537 for four, disposal, fitting, balancing and four wheel thrust alignment.
G'day all.
Picked up a very tidy silver MY07 Touareg twin-turbo V10 TDi on 10 Jul with 98,000 on the clock. What a great ride.
I'd been 'car camping' out of my 2002 BMW 735iL Facelift...
