5.0 V10 VW Touraeg engine

[Russ_16v]

We had one in which needed a few things doing, mainly the sump was leaking and the tandem pump was too.

To sort these out, due to the setup, the engine needs to be removed.

It's a fairly big job, it is pretty much crammed in, and it comes down complete with subframe, air suspension, driveshafts and brakes, gearbox and transfere box.

So while it was out, I thought id grab a few pictures, if anyone is interested

Compared to this, which is a 1.2 3 cylinder unit out of a Polo bluemotion - bit of a size difference lol

Whos da lady?

 

[Fred@BTM]

that'll be a big bill!

Who is Mr Sideburn?

 

[Adam-o]

V12 ftw!

 

[chriscummins7]

Jesus.

 

[Alastair.]

fuking hell!

 

[Darren S]

that'll be a big bill!

Just thinking that on the labour alone!

D.

 

[Russ_16v]

that'll be a big bill!

We did a deal at circa £1400, 14 hours labour book time lol

 

[liam172cup]

thats a fair size like lol

 

[Knuckles]

Beer tokens for the first person to thumb it into a clio

 

[MarkCup]

LOL, it's bigger than a Clio isn't it? Probably weighs more than one.

 

[aucky]

Monster!

 

[Sam@NP]

I am dreading the day I have to pull our engine out.

What work is getting done?

Sump re-sealed, plus anything we found on the way - tandem pump gasket was leaking, so we sorted that, plus a few other small bits, P/S leak sorted.

 

[Goodj]

Good god, it looks like something out of the back of a yacht!


And that W12 is awesome too!

 

[Russ_16v]

Oh, the trolley it is on is a VW tool especially for removing the engines out of Touraeg's, Phaeton's and Audi's Q models.

It is about 3.5k's worth, and requires 3 phase electric to run it, nice piece of kit, beeps like a reversing lorry when moving it up and down - id hate to even attempt to do it without it! lol

 

[Knuckles]

LOL, it's bigger than a Clio isn't it? Probably weighs more than one.

Lol most likely! You'd have to build a spaceframe clip around it lol

 

[Goodj]

Well, the stage is set, when the next V6 winds up back-first in a wall, it's destined for a VAG V10 / W12 rebuild.

VW slapped a W12 in a Golf, so something as totally balanced and sorted as a Vee? Be reeeeet.

Oh.....oh yeah

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

f**k me that is huge! , I don't think £1400 is too bad for all that work , Parents were charged over 7k for an engine once

 

[Bluebeard]

That is mental!

It's not an engine change, it was removal for small repaires mate, the cost to buy a new V10 (which comes complete with heads but nothing bolted on) is close to 13k

I know i worded it a bit dodgy, I meant £1400 wasn't to bad for all that work and repairs.

 

[Bluebeard]

Looking at it again, the brakes don't look that big!

Ah cool mate lol

Looking at it again, the brakes don't look that big!

Thats what I thought too mate, though they are 350mm discs with Brembo calipers lol

 

[Sam@NP]

911 calipers too.

 

[MarkCup]

Looking at it again, the brakes don't look that big!

SRS? I think they look f***ing huge!

 

[Addicted]

Looks beefy, and that engine is huge!

 

[TimR26]

That's huge, not surprised there's a trolley just for that job!

All they did to that was change the tyre pressures and load it up with sandbags to bring the total weight to near 6 tonnes, then stuck it in low and just pulled away lol.

 

[Pep]

why weigh it down? More traction?

i heard that was a bit of a fib, rumor has it there was a played with gearbox too

 

[VeinAST]

Awesome. That gearbox is out of an arctic!!

 

[jenic]

I'm still amazed by its size, mental!

If someone showed me that picture, and then said it would only be £1400 I'd be pretty ok about it.

Some renault dealers are knocking on that to do a cambelt service on a clio LOL

 

[Sir_Dave]

Thats a big engine :S

Not sure if Mike & i could remove that with a seatbelt & bit of scaffolding pole tbh. Although, im sure we'd give it a go after a few beers ...

 

[Chip-mk1]

1400 for the work done certainly sounds like a reasonable deal given the tools needed to do the job and the sheer size of the thing, but on the other hand what a s**t design car to need the engine taking out completely just to sort a sump gasket leak, that should be a trivial job really, takes an hour to do that job on a lot of cars, lol

 

[Englebert]

Mega!
