End of the Road for the V10 Touareg
Today we finally start paring down some of the things laying around the ranch, starting with our beloved Touareg. This guy has the rare and quite fun V10 twin turbo diesel engine. Yes, 10 cylinders, two turbos from the factory in a Touareg, quite the setup. Well at this point all I want is the v10 part, so we figure out a way to get the engine out without a lift. The last time we removed the engine we dropped it out the bottom the way you are supposed to. This time we have to get creative with our gantry crane to figure out a way to remove it.
Stay tuned for a fun future project utilizing this unique powerplant!

Today we do some last minute repairs to my beloved ECO Challenge Land Rover Discovery to try and make the 1250 mile drive out to Moab Utah to take the old girl out to have some fun. At 218k miles and nearly 30 years old (and being a Land Rover) this may be a monumental task, but let's find out together if it can handle it. Stay tuned for the next video for some fun out in Moab. www.TheLostCause...

    Wow fantastic effort for a one man band and no two post lift, you really need to invest in a vehicle lift. Looking forward to seeing get the Manx back on the road, I’m sure Sasha will love the open top experience 🤣. Then is back onto the LS Defender? Keep up the great work. 😎👍

      Not yet, the one I’m training for is in October. But I’ll probably toss a 50 mile race in between then, I haven’t raced in an ultra since 2021 so it’d be nice to race in a “shorter” one beforehand. That Manx is so cool, wish it was mine haha. At least I’ll get to take it out every now and then if I want.

    Nice Fishing spider! I had a couple living in the raised bed garden last year. Didn't have that bad of a bug problem at that time. Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses ratchet straps for lifting/pulling applications. Assemble the kid's UFC ring, set up in local mall or outside of a nail/hair salon. Charge frustrated and tired parents $5 to"watch" their kids for 15 minutes. "Watch" said kids in pairs. Take bets from bystanders......

    • @LostCauseRanch
      @LostCauseRanch День назад

      I really like the V6 TDI. That is probably a better all around engine to have especially on the daily and ease of parts/service. Plus the face lifted ones are a little nicer in my opinion. I bet yours did just fine pulling stuff around.

    Ugg! Sad to report that our 2013 BMW 328i xdrive N26 just did this after pulling away from a stop sign. After researching the problem, we discovered the year of our car is within a range where we should have changed the chain loooong ago. We have just over 190k mikes on the car. So, what could we expect to pay for someone to do the compression test?

    @GERntleMAN 10 дней назад

    What people who say, drop the engine to make the work easier, seem to always forget: If you drop the engine, there are so many bolts, connections and bushings you lay hands on, which are all possible failure points. You have to do an alignment as well and when you do an engine drop, you do every possible work which will come in the future, meaning from a few gaskets and an alternator you quickly get to a 2000-5000€ materialwise job which saves you a lot of trouble in the long run. So if you only want to replace the tandem pump or alternator, leave the engine in the car.

    • @LostCauseRanch
      @LostCauseRanch 10 дней назад

      I agree with you. I pulled it later in when I built down pipes and did some other various services. As long as you have a 2 post lift most of the German stuff is simple to drop out the bottom as you are well aware I’m sure.

    Bummer day. My sister had gifted me the Disco 2. Ive been wrenching on it for a few years now. So 2 days ago i mentioned that the Disco was having brake issues. Specifically the rear sets. When i do testing for panic stops. Only the fronts brake. Then they become very hard. I have gone through the entire brake system rebuild. From the master cylinders to the brake pads and rotors and all brake calipers replacement. Its was not a huge money items. After i sent the cores back. I believe i invested $175.00 total. Then DOT 4 fluid. I flushed the entire system and then power bleed. I did find bubbles in the front. The final hurdle i ordered new brake lines. Stainless steel covered lines all 4 corners. Then power bleed again. I did solve a problem. The 3 stooges would randomly chime away. I would cycle the ignition and they would go away. After manual bleeding and power bleeding. The 3 stooges are not coming up anymore?? Im a DYier mechanic for over 50 yrs now. I do enjoy it very much.
