My dealer mentioned nothing about the flashlight.... is it standard equip for all variations?? If so, I'll see if I can get a G.B. shelf for the hassle... Wish me luck!
 
They don't put the flashlights in the Touaregs anymore. VWOA should send one to you.

I believe its a security/theft issue - If the test-drive models had the flashlight, they'd walk out the door within a couple of demos.

I bought my TReg on 12/1... still no flashlight. In another week or so, I'll give them a call.

I've heard the approx wait time is 30-45 days from purchase.

Should they be sending it unsolicited, or do I need to make a phone call?? I'm still going to try and get the shelf from the dealer.
 
It took about a month from the day of delivery to the day i recieved the Flashlight in the mail. And that was unsolicited.
 
My dealer told me that VW will send it in the mail in about 4 weeks. Just an aside, apparently these flashlights are a popular item among thieves, so keep an eye on yours when you do get it. Also noticed you can buy them on eBay for around $45.
 
First of all, I wanted to say(this is my first post :D ), that this forum is really getting great, and that it provides a great help to T-reg owners.

Now, the problem, I´m going to receive my T-reg next week, here in Portugal. I wanted the flashlight, but, they said that it came only in the non-smoker package :? ... Is it true ? If it´s not, I´m going to ask them again when I take delivery of the car...
 
It's hard to say if it's supposed to be included in European models. We know that it is supposed to be in all US models. But givenwhat you guys pay for Touaregs in Europe, I'd push real hard to get the dealer to throw one in.

Anyone else in Europe know about the flashlight policy there?
 
"But givenwhat you guys pay for Touaregs in Europe"

yeah... :( .. My R5 TDi, comes with almost every extra except GPS and keyless entry, but it will cost 70000 euros (same in dollars)... It´s a lot.. how much does the V10 cost there in the U.S. ??

Actually a Euro is over 1.25$ US so you are going to pay something like 87,000$ for your R5...
 
Flashlight story

I just ordered my T-Reg yesterday and my salesman told me his knowledge to the missing Flashlights. He said that every worker in Jersey where the T-Reg's come in has at least one - and from the amount on eBay it looks like a lot more. VWOA found out about this and stopped shipping US bound cars with the part. He said that the company would be sending them to registered owners after delivery.

yeah.. :anger: enough to buy a fully loaded Treg V8 there in the U.S... isn´t it ? I don´t the exact prices, but with the numbers you guys talk about.. it should be enough for something like that...

Actually a fully loaded V8 will cost around 50-52K. I feel your pain though...
