    Not been funny or anything but there is few kits on ebay to repair that manifold unless there different on touareg? from swirls bar to motors and rods even dark side development got some, so why would it cost £500 per side? asking because i never worked on Touareg as for injectors show me a car that does not suffer from that occasionally.

    Yes, two in the last fornight, one in a Touareg and one in a T5. ALL TDI 2.5 5 cylinder (2005>2010 ) Type 7L6’s using the BPD and BPE engines have a helically cut spur gear driven cam and water pump drive system.... and the same goes for the AXD/AXE/BPC/BLJ/BNJ et all with the 070 series 2.5 R5 TDI PD.......

    I will only fit the genuine full kits, I have known repaired set ups get injested into the engine. When I fix cars I no longer stick my neck out to help people as I have done this far too many times over the years and been shafted by those people I was trying to help so now I will only fit what I know works and has a no quibble warranty from the supplier, I despise doing jobs twice and my opinions of Darkside are not fit for a family oriented forum.

    On thing popped into my mind when you mentioned manifolds, the fabricated exhaust manifolds on some T5’s fall to bits and you can get cast aftermarket versions, I found that these are not an easy fit on the T5 with an EGR cooler such as the automatic models.

    So if the little rode that goes from motor to flaps had snapped or worn out you going to fit new manifold? No a chance unless the flaps with rode are worn out then maybe for peace of mind but I still wouldn't unless I could see damage actually done to manifold it self.

    I fully appreciate what you saying if you doing that work for customer and he needs warrenty but I don't need that.

    Like I said please bear in mind that this car will be owned and maintained by me so looks like the 2.5 is out of question due to cam problem and engine out with the 3.0 I'm willing to take a risk with that manifold.

    Is there anything else on them 3.0 v6 tdi that I could straggle to do?

    Ahh nearly for got the bearing on propshaft I guess is effects all touaregs?

    With VCDS, access to erWin, a good set of tools and a way of getting underneath easily (I.e. a lift) then you can do almost any job yourself, some jobs will require you buying some specialist tools. I would not like to have to look after one on the floor.

    For one, that wasn't a statement, but a question. And second: That's also a way to avoid having to face being called out on something. Or at least pretend doing so to save face.

    It does. But on a 2006 model (with most likely over 200.000 miles on it) that should have already failed not once, but probably twice, unless a more withstanding aftermarket replacement (like this) has been installed.

    The one I looked at was 2.5 with 118k and 3.0 with 125k, so yes higher milage cars

    The centre bearing usually fails at around 70-80.000 miles max, so, on those cars it has been most likely already replaced. You should ask the previous owner/seller if and when this was done, and from there you could estimate when you can expect it to fail next.

    It also helps if you don't drive the car in the mud, and if you remove the old grease and re-apply some new to the bearing every once in a while. Even though it's actually the rubber mounting that's usually degrading and falling apart (and the bearing itself will be damaged only as a result of the mounting not holding it in place anymore), but by regularly cleaning the area you're slowing down the corrosion of the rubber mounting, too.

    Also, the forum board seems to mess up the link in my previous post for some reason. So, here it is, in plain text: VW Touareg Drive Shaft There are some other aftermarket alternatives out there, but this one seems to be the best in preventing the reoccurrence of the damage in the first place, by absorbing most of the vibration the rod is generating.
