Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Useful info. thank you
Great information,
Thank you
You need to budget the same amount for repairs as the car price. Say $8000+$8,000.
You are still getting a fantastically capable off road SUV for $16,000.
2007-2010's are really not that bad, even at their age. At this point a 2010 is definitely ideal, it's even the only YM with an above average reliability score at least by jd power. Parts and labor can cost more but it's really not as bad as people say it is to own. I've had a 2010 for almost 2 years and put almost 20k miles on it, got in a front end accident about 15 mph, still only things needing replacing have been a water pump and temperature sensor. Honestly most of the costs have been mechanics trying to figure things out, and the process of trying to find a mechanic I can trust with knowing what they're doing on this thing. Get a 2010 with relatively low miles, and besides the fact that you own a Volkswagen, it's not going to be that bad cost wise. I got a 2010 with 38k miles Dec 2019 for $14,400. Make it a TDI, and the mpg and diesel gate warranty will make it nearly just as good cost of ownership as any off-roading SUV you're going to find. The whole fuel system is covered on an 11 year old vehicle that fuel system issues are probably the most common problem on. Also covers the turbo, exhaust system, and the stinking computer! Not to mention it drives like a Cayenne. The value is insane, forget the extra $250/yr you might spend on repairs relative to a comparable vehicle, you're probably saving $500-$1000/yr with the TDI mpg anyway.
Thanks a lot, i appreciate very useful information
Why this video was so short D.C.R and no V-10 info
I have the use of a very high specification 5.0 V10tdi it's an 06 just the best thing I have ever driven instant power relentless acceleration everything works it still looks and feels new at 125.000 mils
You frighten me over maintenance but so far it's a stern truck
Change your turbos
Do u still own it. How is the maintenance part. R u happy with it.
Thanks
Hi . I would like to request reviews on volvo's . Especially the s60 till 2008 and xc90 , as there are many many for sell with very interesting price ... Thank you i've watch most of your reviews i really enjoy your honesty and how you organizes yourself !
Thanks for the tip, I will definitely do the S60 and also the XC90 in the near future.
I bought mine from new, filters, valves EGR, brake pads, oil of course. Over a 100,000 miles still strong. V6 3.0 tdi. Yes I’m lucky. A lot of Porsche parts in this car.
I bought a 2004 V8 with air suspension. It was not cared for very well and I sold it because it needed too much repair. It needed intake actuators, vacuum lines, a thermostat (which is behind the timing belt and it must come off), one catalytic converter (of 4), had power steering and oil leaks, parking sensors didn't work, the spare tire well kept filling up with rain water, and the transmission was hard shifting. It was gone as soon as I got a repair quote for $9,000 USD. It was a lovely driver and had plenty of power but it is a money pit even if well maintained.
Never buy anything with air suspension, if so, change it to regular shocks
@@JoelGarcia-bs1kq the air suspension was the only good part of the whole truck. Worked like a champ
Any codes? Check?
Just a heads up, the automatic transmissions in the Touaregs are sealed with "lifetime fluid", so the ATF can't be easily changed (and it's not stated in the maintenance schedule). Great review though!
It can be easily changed. "Sealed for life" doesn't mean it's welded shut or something, just that it's not supposed to be changed at regular, pre-set intervals.
Had a jumpy auto golf. Fix was indpendent garage change the atf fluid and papers
I had a 2007 3.0 tdi Touareg and while it was an awesome car to drive, it was a nightmare if it comes to reliability. Constant problems with electronics and DPF filters. Parking sensors would stop working every now and then. Moreover the small channels responsible for water drainage liked to jam and sometimes after heavy rains, water would appear on the footwells. So yeah, it's a great car as long as it works, then you have to prepare to pay its worth in repairs.
Same here only I had a 2008 V6. Numerous electrical problems including shutting off while driving and not starting when pushing the start button. It’s a good looking SUV but way too many issues.

Good evening Mister ! I want to know if it is possible to change completely a multifonction steering wheel of touareg v8 2006
will u do some review about ford focus
What about that water slush?
I freakin love the first gen facelifted Touareg.
A Touareg owner here. Beware of high maintenance cost and fuel consumption. I own V6 2004 petrol - runs 5.3 km/l.
have a 2006, wicked awesome car, no problems at all.
Hows it doing now? Thinking of buying one tomorrow
@Feral Man 200kilometres on the clock. it's a V6 3.0 diesel.
@@sycraslibrary864 they are a great car, even if they are getting a bit older.
@Feral Man apparently so.
Have you had any problems? Thanks thinking of looking at one tomorrow a59 plate 3.0 v6
Would you get the X5 E70 or this generation of the vw touareg? Both with 3.0tdi.. Which one would you say is better in general?
I bought a 2005 brand new, fully loaded minus the V8 and air suspension. Beautiful car, pretty advanced for 2005, very sure footed on the road, handled very well for its weight (pretty heavy vehicle). The only problem was that it was the biggest piece of shit ever. I had this car for 9 years and it was at the dealership at least twice a year for unscheduled repairs. The carrier bearing on the drive shaft went bad like clockwork every 1.5 to 2 years. You can't buy just the bearing from VW, they only sell the whole drive shaft assembly for $1,800. The variable valve timing for the valve train cost me $4,300 to repair. The tiptronic shifter responded way too slow to driver input so it was worthless and the automatic transmission shifted gears at too low of an rpm. And for some reason they felt the need to suck all the pep out of the normally spunky V6 in favor of fuel economy. It was the opposite of quick. The tactile rubber coating rubbed off all the switches, the wood trim on the dash wouldn't sit flush in the dash, one corner was a little too high. The car ate up tires and tires are about $230 a pop which isn't super high but when you only get 20,000 out of them it gets old. I loved the car I just wished they built it better. Hopefully the new ones are better quality.
I agree for that reason, I will not buy another Volkswagen again
I have a V6 Tdi with 102,000 miles. It has Full Service History. A load of junk, I will never buy Volkswagen again. I have just had the DPF professionally cleaned, I now have injector issues (I think) - I gets load of white exhaust smoke when I have been sitting in traffic for a just a few minutes, and the car has serious starting problems. It won't start when the engine is warm or hot. It will only start when the car is cold. My garage thought it was the battery, which is what it sounded like, so I purchased a new battery. It is exactly the same! It now has to return to the garage. It has become a bit of a nail.
I listed my problems a few comments down, I was expecting better from a VW "German quality" and all that - but I guess they need to pull their finger out.
No offense but German cars are not for noobs, especially in USA where mechanics are pure scammers and charge double, triple and more just because the car is made in Germany. You have to learn where to get parts from not to get scammed by repair shops and stealerships. However there are plenty of great German parts online stores in USA. The drive shaft you mentioned costs 430 dollars shipping including brand new from fcpeuro. A local small shop mechanic charged for labor 125 to replace it, its a very easy and quick job, the only reason not to it yourself is having to go under the car to unbolt the old one, not easy without a car lift. You got to be a real car moron to pay 1800 for it when it really costs 555. Not sure what tires you buying but i bought pirelli scorpion, great quality tires for 700 total for all 4 including installation and balancing + lifetime service from discount tire. Its been 5000 miles already and no signs of wear. Hmm ... Anyway, the moral of the story is simple. In order to own a German car for cheap in USA you have to put at least some effort from your end, its not an appliance like Toyota or Honda that you only put gas in and change oil time to time. You have to be a car person. Research a little where to buy parts for cheap, fix easy things like brakes and shit on your own, its really very easy. And only for hard to do job take it to a good HONEST mechanic. Never to a stealership. If you dont know a good trusted mechanic, at least ask how much it will be here and there. So many mechanics in USA are dishonest crooks, that wont blink an eye before charging double or triple of what it really costs for labor. Some try to charge you x4 or x5 times for same labor, a local Euro car scammer shop wanted 1100 for driveshaft, i went and ordered the brand new for 430 and payed 125 to an honest shop to replace it, those scumbags would've bought it for same 430 and would've charged rest for labor that takes 1 hour tops, by simple calculations thats 670 (over x5 times that other shop charged for same labor) for 1 hour of labor after subtracting the $430 price of the brand new driveshaft. Not even doctors and surgeons or airline pilots get payed that much by hour ! Fucking thieves that run those repair shops, i have no words ... Work ethics in USA are not the same as in Europe and especially Germany, everybody tries to scam you in autorepair business here. This country is going down to drain, nobody wants to work and everybody wants big $$$ for nothing.
Gorod 😂 that’s true I in the uk and always have VW cars made in german it for the European market. I have hear lots of complaints from Americans about bmw Audi and VW so far I didn’t have any problem with my cars and I always buy the second hands with high mileage. The only problem I have from them is flywheel every 60k and EGR that’s all. But all cars brake down as they edge.
great suv
VR6 3.6 seems to be the first choice, for the maintenance and repair bill. Although it’s not powerful enough and not so good fuel efficient.
Bro nice review, but what about the v10 Diesel engine?
The v10 tdi was very expensive to work on due to how compact it was in the engine bay also it had turbo and suspension issues. The engine was very problematic as well.
Only problem with this review is he said reliable and toureag in the same sentence. Everyone knows this is a pile of German engineering junk
Te I am interested
Thinking of buying an 05 Touareg V8 with 91k miles. It needs $2700 in repairs just to pass inspection at this time. My fear is it will need more after I purchase it. Thoughts?
Yes it would always need more
I was thinking buying a toureg because I leave in a bumpy place. I was thinking about a 2.5l toureg. It looks great with only 168.840 km on the clock and in a great price. Should I buy it. Would be reliable or have many problems
most reliable is the 3.0 TDI, from what I've heard the 2.5l is a nightmare.
Thanks for your videos. What about 3.6 engine for 2007?, talking about reliability?
That's the only reliable engine in the whole Volkswagen line-up. The newest 2.0 tdi might result good too (finally).
So to summarise could you tell me which one would be the most reliable one to purchase? And thanks for the video.
depends if you want to use it mainly for long distances or for short distances
for long distances the best is to buy a diesel engine, in this case the best choice is the 3.0 TDI preferably the 176 KW version
for short distances buy a petrol engine, in this case the most reliable is the 3.2 l V6 but its not powerful
either way both of these engines can have issues, the 3.2 l petrol can have worn timing chain usually after 200 000 km and the 3.0 TDI can have: faulty injectors, issues with the intake manifold flap mechanism, the crankshaft pulley in front of the engine can fall apart, the timing chain can be worn as well, +if its equipped with a DPF then that can clog as well, and engines from 2008 are more susceptible of a high pressure fuel pump failure but this is not extremely common, these issues usually occur after 200 000 - 250 000 km
the weaker 4.2 l V8 petrol engine is not the worst but it will have oil leaks, coolant leaks which can be expensive to fix and also the cam chain tensioners will get worn after 200 000 - 230 000 km which can damage the engine a lot - bent valves and shit
this video is old without much of this information but Im working on a new improved one
@@differentcarreview-dcr thanks for your reply, so which year model petrol engine Touareg is best to buy?
What about vw touareg 2.5 2005 ? Is 2.5 good machineV
what about 5.0 tdi engine?
if you have unlimited cash supply go for it
Is it worth buying a 2009 59 register 3.0v6 attitude?am thinking of going to look at on tomorrow thanks
worth it 👌
Would it be possible to do an updated, longer version of this video?
Please
What?
i didn't saw ford in your mix... please make this for ford mondeo mk4
My experience all round good car but had these problems with mine 2010 3.0 TDI V6 altitude (bought brand new and problem occurring in 1st 3 years of ownership):
water leak pump leaking - needed replacing
door hinges rusted - needed replacing
Rattling noise coming from engine at low speed (VW said its characteristic?)
Back boot cover panel shaking and squeaking when driving (VW dealer said they cannot fix it)
Rain water leaking inside from rear light when opening boot
Little bit of crabbing with steer on full lock
Tyres completely bald after 25K miles (normal driving city and motorway)
Apart from this good drive but I will not buy VW again..
Will you do some review on Lexus such as RX & LS?
I will definitely do some Lexus reviews in the future
What about 3.2 liter version from 2003?There is one near me with instaled LPG,some 280000km,and minor cosmetic issues on right front and back doors.Price is 4700 euros.To consider or not?I'm not into speed,but safety on the road,reliable automatic transmission,and some off road if needed.
I bought one with the same engine and also LPG, got it for almost a month now, great car no problems and V6 engine is also a beast. That is great price if everything is mechanicaly right.
Don't worry issues will come soon. I just hate this car. Will never buy it again
I'm thinking of buying V10 tdi. 2010, Any advice? Thank you.
Did you buy ??
Don't buy it.
The V6 + manual is better. V6 has a lot of space around it was not forced into a small space like the V10
Andras Libal thx mate.
Teguy Watch year. My friend has to repair his. It was turbo diesel. He never fixed it. It was too expensive. I bought Acura MDX. 2002. Great suv.
so v6 petrol 2004 is a bad car ?
the reliability of this engine is good, but the engine itself is not very powerful for this type of a car
Today 2020 I'm buying touareg in Europe with engine 5.0 TDI years 2007 ! Any advice please?
The v10 its unreliable go fo the 3.0 tdi or 2.5 with a Manual box
Don't get the air suspension one, if you got it I would recommend swapping it out, turbos fail, coolant leaks, oil leaks, timing gears could possibly fail, It's just bad, get the 3.0, you will have a lot more space to work on rather than a long V10.
V10 does not have timing belts or chains
My friend
Can you give us any info of the 2.5 tdi ?
Its the same engine as in the transporter mk5
If it works in a van it should be good in this to.
Yea lack of power / big consumption stuff are like in the bible ... Im interested if you got any info about reliebility .
Its on timing gears.
Theres euro 3 and euro 4 with dpf.
Usualy 60-70% is on standard suspension not air suspension.
lehet magyarul is nem? :D
na akkor: ez a 2.5 TDI igazábol egy nagyon érdekes motor mert kibírhat 500 000 km - 600 000 km-t de simán befoshatja magát 100 000 vagy 200 000 km után is különboző okok miatt:
1. ha elkezd folyni a vízpumpa, akkor a hutővíz a motor belsejébe szivárog-egyenesen az olajba ami ugye szép károkat okozhat ha nem veszi észre időben senki, tehát jó ha kb 100 000 km után ki van cserélve a vízpumpa
2. aztán ott van a vezérműtengely + a szelepemelők amik ki lehetnek kopva, főleg a nem megfelelő olaj, vagy a hosszú olajcsere intervallum miatt + ugye az alkatrész minősége sem a legjobb, ezért jó tudni hogy csak 0W30 (506.01) olaj van gyárilag előírva és persze a legjobb 10 000 - 15 000 km után cserélni mert ha nincs időben cserélve akkor ezzel az olajjal is simán kikopik a vezérműtengely
3. olajfogyasztás: különböző okok miatt-pl.: magas km vagy túlmelegedés miatt, vagy a rossz olaj/kenés miatt kikophat a hengerfalak burkolata és elkezdheti zabálni a motor az olajat
4. a PD befecskendező elem porlasztó háza kikophat, ezáltal a tömítései nem zárnak megfelelően és ezmiatt bekerülhet az üzemenyag az olajba ami megint nem valami pozitív
+150 000 km után érdemes kicserélni a generátor kuplungot ami ha befossa magát akkor megáll a generátor
no meg az utolso dolog, hogy a DPF-el ezek az oregebb motorok nem nagyon barátok, úgyhogy legjobb elkerulni a DPF-el felszerelt 2.5 tdi-t
kb ennyi

What about 2.5 diesel with standard suspension ?
The standard suspension is reliable, but I would not recommend the 2.5 l diesel engine, because it can have quite often problem with leaking water pump, coolant mixing with oil, injectors and so on. It has also a special cylinder wall coating which can come of and cause oil consumption, and this engine is also not very powerful, so it's not a good choice.
The 2.5 TDI with the standard suspension is the most rational choice. It has the best fuel economy and the least things to fail on it. Some parts are also cheaper and more available from 3rd parties, because they're the same as on the T4 Transporter. The engine is also not underpowered and pulls really good, even though you obviously won't win any drag race with it. The only real drawbacks are that the standard suspension is more stiff and if the road is bad, you can really feel it; and that you can fit only one kind of wheel/tire (17") on it.
The only rational thing from your comment is the standard suspension. It is ok-ish, can withstand a lot, it ain't that comfy though. But the engine.... Mate do some research on the matter at hand. The 2.5 TDI from VAG is the worst diesel engine to get! Pisses fluids, everything breaks, and the fuel economy is double or even triple of the 3.0 TDI...
Martin Bogdanovski Please, master, educate me and advise me to do some research about the 2.5 TDI engine, which I have been owning and using for several years, after having previously owned a 3.2 V6
thinking of getting a v6 3.2lt over the 2.5 or 3.0 tdi...i've had bad experiences with deisel engines. how bad is the v6 3.2 fuel economy and over the deisel engines and is the v6 3.2 petrol a better buy faults wise
I need one
why didn't you recommend one of the v6 petrol engine ?
because they are not powerful enough, but reliable
I agree I have had no problems with mine. Thanks after I saw your video I bought a 2009 V6 T2 non air suspension
I have the 2007 fsiV6 petrol, bit heavy on fuel but a great wagon. Very safe cars, previously I had a 2005 V8 save my life with a side on crash where I walked away could had been fatal in a lesser car. So I see fuel cost as cheap insurance.
Can i have the english version please?!
Yeah you recommend engine types but all of them has problems😂😂😂😂
marian marian like every car’s engines
True! but German cars are over engineered . Looked after they are strong .
The V6 TDI is allright. The V8 and W12 do not have enough space around them ... the 2.5 is not a good engine type.
V10 is top engine, v6 is horrible (chains, injectors, high pressure pump 176kw cr4 dpf)
Im happy with my touareg ,when you buy a car you jave to be lucky like your wife man
hi mate if you could speak i little bit slower please
The VW Touareg was never made with a W12 engine. The most expensive and rarest Touareg was the Diesel V10, awesome if you can find it, super rare, and very expensive even today. And I could be wrong, but I do not believe you can get the Touareg any longer with a V8, they are only now available as a V6.
It had the W12...Check before typing. :)
The V10 and the w12 are still avaliable in Canada, USA never saw the w12
diesel v10 costs about 10k in sweden.. not that rare
og sikkert 300.000 i Norge, you know :P
The W12 is available in Canada?? I wish I would have known that before I bought a V8 (Still love my rig though)
