advice on a touareg
« on: 04 September 2011, 17:11 »
right my old man thinks he needs another car to add to the 3 he`s already got, and wants a diesel touareg preferably the 5.0 v10

is there any known problems/faults on them that he should look out for?

it`ll only do a few thousand miles a year.

just trying to get some info on them so all ideas would be gratefull  :smiley:

I'm looking into one of these at the moment, believe it or not, its a toss up between a Touareg and an Amorak?

We have just bought a 59 plate se v10 touareg on our website Cheltenham Volkswagen. I took it out today with a customer what a machine! Think golf r32 pace in a tank.

kessy modules on the earlier ones can be temperamental and expensive to fix. They have 2 turbos which are around £1600 each if they go boom :grin:

From the buying guides I have read the V10 TDI is the one to avoid.
