    Dear Forum, My 2013 CRCA 245cv Touareg mk2 has been working surprinsingly flawlessly during the last 10 years. I have only changed oil, filters and brake fluid at regular intervals. I changed tyres when needed, the brakepads once... I have essentially done nothing other than the very basic...

    2015 Touareg TDI 3.0- The power steering fluid is at the bottom of the min mark. Does it matter if i’m checking this while the engine is cold or do I need to warm it up for better reading? Also, the fluid tank says G2000 but the Dealer only has G4000. What’s the difference? I read the G4000 is a...

    Hello, I am interested in buying a used 2017 Touareg. The Carfax report lists a number of parts that have been replaced in the last years and I am wondering if this car is a lemon? I will be using the car to tow up to 5500 lbs. 51,367 KM Vehicle serviced Valve cover gasket(s) replaced Fuel...

    Just bought a used 2006 Touareg 2.5 TDI automatic with 160,000km on it. It has logbook service history since new (standard oil/fluid changes, air con etc). From what is seems, it has never had any transmission / diff / transfer case fluid changes. Been driving it the past month - drives good, no...

    I currently have a 2002 VW Beetle 1.8T, 5-speed manual, with a stage 1 chip tune. It's my first car, and it's been a maintenance nightmare. I've put on ~6,000 miles since August 2019 (when I picked up the car), and I've had to replace an electrical box (don't remember the specific name, but it...
  6. General Maintenance & Repair
    Hey guys! So I am just reaching out to see if anyone has some additional advice on any maintenance I should be looking at or anticipating here soon. I didn't own the rig for the first 140k so I had to catch up on quite a few maintenance items and am still working my way along with the vehicle I...

    Hi, I own a V6 3.6L base model touareg serviced by the dealer in Dubai thrice (last service was done at 35k km). Major service was due at 50k, but since the dealer quoted a ridiculous price for it.. I did an oil, oil filter, air and cabin filter change at a local mechanic. He inspected my belt...

    One of the questions I have been asking is if the timing belt has been replaced. All the ones I've looked at are just over 100K and no one seems to know if it's been done. At what point should I be worried? Some of these vehicles have 110K + miles on them. Thanks!

    I thought it might be good to have a thread of long terms issues and reliability, what people have had to fix with older touaregs. So here is mine, I've owned it since new: Specs: 2010 V6 Tdi (last of that model) now at 250,00kms (155,000 miles) automatic steel suspension sunroof RNS-510 satnav...

    Hi all- I'm new here and I'm looking at a 2004 VW Touareg V6 with 97K. I understand the V6 doesn't need a timing belt- it's a chain so hopefully we're all good there. I got a copy of the maintenance history from the CarFax and there were a couple things which threw me off. The car is super...

  13. General Maintenance & Repair
    I've decided to buy parts online for my 2004 Touareg 3.2L V6. I bought brake pads that say 350mm rotor, and rotors that say 350 mm as well, but after doing some searching around I came to the conclusion that I may have bought the wrong parts. My questions are: Do I need to make sure what type of...

    Hello All. Any suggestions on prophylactic maintenance or system checks after the truck has been sitting in the driveway for a year? [Drive train issues; long story!] The more detail, the better:) Thanks ahead of time:)
  15. Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
    2005 V8 - 77K miles I had originally asked this question (along with some others) under the general repair section but thought it would be better placed here. Getting the timing belt replaced - I know, I know, running on borrowed time - but what else should I have done while the mechanic has...

    2005 Touareg V8 (not air suspension) 77K Miles: Just got orders to Belgium and want to see if any of the experts here have any recommendations. Last time I was at the dealership they let me know the next sched maintenance was a biggie (80K miles) and that it called for the timing belt to be...

    I just wanted to get some info on the replacement schedule for the engine air intake filter. All my manual says is at 180,000 km this air/snow filter needs to be changed, but no other time. I asked my dealer and they said it's odd that VW lets this filter run that long (and so do I). Should this...

    Love the Touareg. I will be test driving a 2004 Touareg V8 with 94k miles this weekend. It's so pretty! Yes, I am a woman :) It is white with tan leather. Love that look. Anything I should be on the look out for? How is the maintenance expense of the these vehicles? I was going...

    So, I just had my 2012 TDI in for it's 40K service. They reset the maintenance interval (which I also know how to do). They did not, however, reset my Inspection reminder. I can not find anywhere online or in the manual how to do this. Any ideas? Thanks! Again, this is the Inspection reminder...

    took for 60K service today they tell me I need a brake flush and a fuel filter which are not included in the cost of the service. Has anyone else experienced this?
