You can prove anything you want to with numbers.

It reminds me of the advice I was given about choosing a new accountant many years ago.

Ask the guy what 2 and 2 add up to, I was told. If he says "Four" then carry on looking.

If he says "What would you like them to add up to?", hire him.

You will almost certainly need a new timing belt and, with it, new tensioners, thermostat and water pump.

Unless you can clearly see and confirm this work has been done when looking at the service records, do not let anyone tell you it does not need doing.

The belt is now 10 years old and they have an intended lifespan of 80,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first.

If the belt breaks the engine is wrecked.

Read this thread carefully and you will know all about the problems you might face with a Touareg. The older they get the more likely they are to break of course!
