Thought I would update some recent trip info. Just had a new transfer case and transmission software change and had some interesting results. I was struggleing to get 15 mpg on road or in city and just completed a 3000 mile vacation and averaged 22.3 with some very rough and long 4 wheel dive trails mixed thru the trip. The vehicle performed flawlessly and I couldn't be happier. The recent work was done the day before we left on the trip and I was very concerned, but it was just great. The majority of the trip was spent around Aspen, Breckenridge, Fairplay, Urey, and Durango Colorado . The tiptronic trans was awesome and really made the car seem like a sports car with no lag or bogging down going up the hills . I am really happy with the vehicle and it was a pleasure to drive. The suspension was great on the 4 wheel drive trails as there were no rattles, or noises of any kind. Very solid.

Good to hear. Do you have a V-6, V-8, V-10, air or steel suspension? You should add these things to your signature so people know what Touareg you are talking about. Good to hear your repairs went well. -Jake
