VW Touareg AWD Control Module: Access Code?

Hello everyone,

I've changed the topic now because the original question had been clarified.

However, I am still looking for the access code for the control unit for the transfer case.

Where can I get this?

Without this, I can't run the actuator diagnostics.

Greetings.
Marcus.

Hello,

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello Marcus,

Please wait, I can't find any information about that right now, but I will look elsewhere tomorrow.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello Rainer,

Sure, no problem. Here's the translation:

'Thank you in advance.'

I would like to test the servo motor for the VTG (Viscous Torque Generator) of my Touareg while it's removed, to see if it's still running smoothly, as I repeatedly experience tension issues in the drivetrain when driving around curves.

It's particularly bad when turning left.

Greetings.
Marcus.

Hello,

Sebastian from Ross-Tech has provided me with the following information:

Hello Rainer,

Thank you very much for that.

Until yesterday, I was of the opinion that...
as VW also states in its documentation,
It involves a 'stepper motor'.

When I removed the engine yesterday,
I was quite surprised.

It's a standard windshield wiper motor without a gearbox.
At the front, there is a multi-stage planetary gear system, and following that...
Planetary gearboxes feature a mode selection switch, similar to those found in VCRs.
This 'landing gear position switch' was the culprit behind all the stress in the landing gear assembly.

A little contact cleaner worked wonders!

I'm going to buy a motor from eBay anyway and use it to record the data of the switch, then I'll start searching for the manufacturer.
For comparison's sake: Similar switches are installed in almost every video recorder.
These cost approximately €10-€20 and no more than that.

The engine - and now brace yourself - costs €1200 at Volkswagen.

Anyway, thank you for your help.

Have a great weekend and best regards.

Marcus.

Thank you for the feedback!
