Vw touareg V10 TDI is the best thing that happened. Look after it well and it looks after you. The vehicle has little or no flaws. On the bigger picture the problems we always read about are the creation of mechanics who know nothing or very little about the VW diesel engines. I have always bought a second hand vw and brought it back to life. May be VW would need to have a dedicated knowledgeable engineers to service their vehicles.
