my 2010 vw touareg tdi 3.0 have 2 service campaign 23r3 and 26k2 which is commonly known for vw tdi diesel scandal. i took my car to vw they said they will replace the catalytic converts and knox sensors. and the ad blue box. today i got a call stating that my car will not get a catalytic converter that's epa compliant. and they can only do computer software and replce 2 glow plugs out of the 6 and that's cant be done before i replace a knox sensor which is the service campaign is for then when the check engine light is off i can take it back to vvw to replace the parts and program the computer. or pay then $900 for that sensor.
Takata recall for airbag dash light on. Also, check 'engine light' for diesel def heating element fault. Both lights appeared when starting the vehicle/stationary and have remained on ever since.
The vehicle was stationary and had been parked all day (8+ hours). Upon trying to start it would not turn over and then backfired and the intake manifold exploded. The car smoked.
