My VW Toureg Diesel has been on Limp mode because of EGR Exhaust gas Recirculation problems and now the DPF system is under threat of needing Repair to,..Have been quoted over $6,000
These cars appear to have inbuilt obsolescence and there is a class action against Toyota over faulty DPF systems and it may be extended to VW Touareg ,..because clearly they are not fit for purpose for City Driving!
The City Driving cycle is not sufficient to ensure that the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) burns off the soot or Carbon Particles,...In the US they had this Add Blue solution,...They are a great car but once you have a few milkes on the clock these ugly problems start to manifest themselves,..Any suggestions please on how to fix these DPF and EGR problems without using expensive VW service? Shouldn't these cars be tested at registration to see if they comply with Exhaust Gas and Particulate Emissions controls,..Anyway,..This is what they do in Europe.
