VW 2013 Touareg ACC Fixed!
This fault occurred a few years ago. In my initial investigations and problem-solving, I came across this post in the Club Touareg forum – ACC windscreen camera replacement, fault still after calibration
I bought the cable from Kuftec and fitted it, unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue. If anyone needs a cable I have one!
I put up with this fault for a few years until recently googling for information about changing headlight bulbs I stumbled across a YouTube clip suggesting that heating the main chip to reflow the solder was a possible fix. So I tried it and am happy to say that this has returned ACC functionality. So happy!
4 minutes at 330ºC.
On pulling the camera from the car it would appear that this is not the original unit, someone had written “V8” written on the label. They possibly had this issue as well. Maybe it’s more common in Australia given the higher temps that we experience than some countries, or maybe it’s just a shitty part overall.
