Nice looking Touareg! What is your best price?

 

It must be free, as he has not listed a price.

 

What happened to require the powertrain be replaced?

 

Long Story Short:

VW Dealership A "replaced" a rear main seal under warranty.

VW Dealership B diagnoses and repairs damages from incorrectly reassembled drive train (by dealership A). Brand new bottom end was imported to complete repairs.

 

Want to sell or trade the wheels off it?

 

Sure. PM me your wheels and I'll take a look.

 

Absolutely! I'm fairly new to the VW TDI world and from what I understand these type of repairs are far and few between (if any). The Porsche Master Tech (Dealership B) who diagnosed and performed the final repairs said he's never in his career had to replace a TDI bottom end this early. Seems to be a rare case.

 

Nice TDI. What are the specs on the rims? Thanks....

 

Tire size: 285/35/R22.

These (big) rims came with the Touareg when I purchased it. I also I have spare set of tires that still have good tread life on them. VW mounted and balanced the tires for me a few months ago. Zero steering vibration at any speed!

 

They are great looking. Do you know what brand the rims are? From a Porsche?

Thanks.

 

I'm not sure where these rims came from as I'm the second owner, however they are of the Stuttgart brand.

 

Price lowered to $27k.

Bump... so that I can get to 5 posts.

 

Nice looking. Thank me and you'll get to your 5 post minimum.

 

I talked with the OP. Almost bought it, then I found one locally. Yahoo... I graduated. 5th post.

 

Still For Sale. Price lowered to $26,000.

84,578 miles (as of 2/11)
First oil change completed after engine replacement (less than 5k on new engine & turbo).

 

Run down a list of what options it has.

 

I'd appreciate any insight you can provide on the warranty repairs and if it was clear from the start that you were covered under warranty.

I have a 2013 Touareg that my wife took in for its 80K mile service and she was presented with a work order estimate for:
- Replace front crankshaft seal
- replace oil pan gasket

almost $2K in repairs but the dealer did not list them as under warranty.

Also has "Replace power steering pump" recommended at $800+. All were complete surprises and I'm starting to investigate options.

Thanks in advance for any help or insight you can provide.

 

My TDI was a CPO vehicle so it came with extended OEM warranties (up to 120k miles). In my recent experience, the repairs were needed due to incorrect re-assembly performed by an authorized VW dealer. I was forced to open a case with VW care which expedited the authorization to replace failed components (bottom end, turbo, etc).

 

Still available.

 

Beautiful interior

 

Priced lowered to $25,000 or best offer.

nice ride, any luck selling the "coal roller"?

 

No luck as of yet. I would hate to trade it in, however that's the direction I'm headed.

 

Nice rig. Surprised it hasn't sold.

 

Do you have any better shots of the wheels? And what are they?
