Buying a used VW Touareg – 2002-2010, Common Issues, Engine types

In Volkswagen Touareg 



the first-generation VW Touareg is still a very safe comfortable and a practical SUV it’s also really affordable today it has the same suspension body frame and platform as in the first-generation Porsche Cayenne the only modification is the detour it is the suspension edges to more comfortable than the gain this first-generation Volkswagen Touareg was made from 2002 to 2010 the build quality of the car is great however you can sometimes hear rattling noises from the interior mainly on really bad roads there is also no rust on the body panels and the quality of the paintwork is also great the electronics is actually quite reliable but sometimes the radio navigation or the door locks are not working properly datura can be equipped with the normal basic suspension which can withstand a lot then there is the adaptive air suspension you can choose between comfort normal or sport mode however sometimes one of the head sensors or the air compressor is not working as it should the air suspension units are reliable enough the old wheel drive is great however the transfer case can be more wrong in early production cars so I would recommend buying a car from 2005 or the facelifted version from 2007 the previous owner could choose from various optional equipment when buying this car for example it work can have GPS navigation TV tuner heated steering wheel electrically adjustable front seats heated front and back seats electrically adjustable steering column climate control for the rear passengers great didn’t have the isang system leather seats and dashboard wood or aluminium trim and so on you can choose various engine types in this car but I will talk about only the best engines from petrol engines I would recommend the 4.2 liter v8 there are two types of this engine the older one has 210 horsepower and the newer one which is f SI injection produced from 2006 has 350 horsepower the most powerful engine in the Tuareg is a 6-litre w12 which has 450 horsepower from diesel engines I would recommend only the 3 liter TDI v6 engine which is 240 horsepower some of the engines had timing chain but it can sometimes be worn even after two hundred thousand kilometers so we have to pay attention to this in engines equipped with timing belt you have to replace the timing belt every 120 thousand kilometers you can choose the manual 6-speed gearbox which is reliable or there is the six-speed automatic gearbox the automatic gearbox is usually
alright however it can have electronic or mechanical problems so you have to check it before buying you should change the oil in the automatic gearbox every sixty thousand kilometers before buying check the suspension parts viewings electronic parts the cars right quietly so it shouldn’t make rattling squeaking or humming noises also check the gaps between the body panels they should be approximately even on the left and on the right side too I hope that this information are helpful enough don’t forget to Like subscribe or comment thanks for watching
