Owned a 2009 model in the US powered by the 4.2L 310 hp V8.
Bought it brand new and sold it back to VW under the Lemon Law 18 months later.
In the first year it was at the dealership for repair for 126 days.
The engine and transmission were bulletproof but it had continuous electrical issues from minor niggles to the failure of the body control module.
I had driven VW Vehicles exclusively up to that point but after that experience I've never purchased another one.
You need to make a T-Shirt with "You massive arch-hole" printed on it 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Yes tax might be a problem but not bad otherwise for the year and mileage I would trade it straight out spend no money somebody out there will want it especially the area you are in take a small profit and be satisfied
Injector blow back, rubber grommet has let go. Lift he engine cowling, you should see the oil around the injector. 👍
Mechanics checked that
Oil or diseal
Can be a pain to remove injector my garage broke mine removing it and 150quid to replace. 😢
sat nav might have not been fitted from factory and added after. I did this in an old ML320. The wiring wasn’t installed for the GPS So added the same GPS as you have under the dash. Worked a treat.
Having owned one look our for a noise from the front axle they have tapered bearing that wear and start shedding fine bits if it carries on they will ruin the front diff, It's a front axle off and strip down the last bloke I saw repairing one it only took him 13 hours.
I really like the Touareg - bags of room, comfortable, and with decent tyres on they are very, very capable off-road. I currently run a Volvo V70, Land Rover Freelander 2 and a Skoda Kodiaq. If I was looking for something to haul loads of gear/passengers with off-road capability I would definitely put a Touareg on the short list.
LOL! ' Massive arch holes'. You really are the funniest car dealer Joe. You should bale on that vehicle, of course, it's up to you.
Aaaah! smell those Touareg campfires burning your cash. 😁
🤣🤣🤣 The seagulls when you did the math 🤣 hilarious
What seagulls?! 😂
This road tax is criminal how can the government want 30 percent of the vehicles value to put it on the road for a year and think it's acceptable
The simple answer is that the government doesn't want them on the road.
They don't want anything on the road except 100000 pound electric cars
If you don't want to pay it, don't drive it! Petrol hasn't been this cheap since 1999. They've got to get the tax somewhere, and electric cars are losing their exemptions.

Back in 2008 my dad was waiting for a new company car and needed something with a towbar to take our caravan on holiday. His employer hired a car from a local garage, which turned out to be a Touareg with the 5.0 V10 TDI engine. It did about 21mpg whether you were towing or not, and must have looked a bit strange with our small, old, scruffy caravan on the back, but it was an awesome experience for a 9 year old used to run of the mill cars. Thereafter it became known in our family as 'The Monster'. The one thing it wasn't good at dealing with was heavy rain, as the arches were so high that every time you hit a puddle even at relatively low speeds the windscreen would get temporarily flooded!
Really enjoy your videos its just showing the viewer the day to day stuff ypur up to what we used to call fly on the wall programmes in the 90s which had massive success
Thanks
I counted a few easy mot failures that clearly were years old, which imo arent that big a deal, however my worry would be what else has been ignored to get it through previous mots. This is a perfect 1k agri 4x4 that someone can run into the ground, strange that the tow bars gone though.
Love these, hopefully it sells soon Joe can’t see it hanging around long. Enjoy this series of the trade in, test drive, repair/clean then up for sale.
Top man, good to see another real video
I do like those Touareg's, but the insurance and tax costs would kill me lol. That one had been looked after service-wise. Macauley is an asset to your company. Did the TVs work? The seagulls laughing 🤣🤣
What an asset Macauley is.
Had an Altitude V6 myself. Check your central locking locks all the doors, if it has child safety button on drivers door, the door locks are a PITA to source and replace as specific to this model. Also check belts and all pulleys replaced as these can chirp and will fail leaving you at side of road. Fantastic cars though.
Has it got a dot matrix printer installed in the engine bay? That's what the noise sounds like to me.
😂
Sounds like the auxiliary drive belt tensioner..
There’s cheaper sheds about like. Biodegradable on the scrap farm. Would you buy this in for stock normally? If no, why take in p/x?
Because it facilitated a deal where we made over £5000 on the car we sold 🤷♂️
@@ShiftingMetal Bollocks. That car is worth no more than £250 as part exchange. Cost you more to get rid of it. So you’re gonna sell it on and more nightmares? What car dealers forget is… a buyer is interested in the car not the business. If it’s car for them they’ll take it. Everytime. You’ll not see them again unless you end up with another piece of stock they’re itching for. What you’ve done is offered them a deal they can’t refuse with the shed. They’ll be thinking what’s wrong with car they bought from you and wondering who got the best deal. 🤣
Are the tyres smaller on the back like different profile to the front?
Don’t think so, why do you ask?
I think that I saw the Car Wow guy take the Porche version for an assessment and droopy doors were commented on. A characteristic but I think that they said that it can be adjusted out.
The GPS antenna I believe is normally in the drivers door mirror so maybe lost the mirror in its life and replaced with eBay special antenna
send it straight to auction or the trade mate a pure money pit ????
It's horrible to watch. The engine needs coming out at 140k, for belts and the second 'lump out' per 70. I loved these. Mine had all the problems with the drainage (VW don't tell you about this)....... park it up, water runs down the left hand side, runs into the passenger footwell. No problem, eh? ALL the ECU's are under there. Cost's at least 2 grand to put right.
How do I freely give you this info? Because it happened to me during ownership. Be wary, of these vehicles. They are are a money pit on servicing. Fantastic stereo, gearbox, ummmph......but so, so costly. The rear arches rust too. Budget 800 quid a side plus paint. Peace.
Oh dear. Weigh it in.
£391 at an online scrap collect website. Is that about right?
Worth smoke testing if ?boost leak
torque converter gearbox screwed
Miss this content Joe! 🙌🏼
Great video Super Joe 💪🏻🦸♂️👏🏻
You won't believe this, but in 2005 I got to drive the V10 TDI version of this, I was delivering it for VW.
The bottom pulley harmonic balancer ?
Apparently not
Perhaps a gearbox/haldex service?
I suspect the built in Sat Nav antenna is broken and the cheapo thing plugged into the head unit is a cheap fix.
As a buyer the tax is not for me, I like to keep a car for a long time so this isn't a great option for most sadly. Taxed away from otherwise nice cars is a sorry state to be in, when I was younger it was the insurance that stopped you but now that I'm older it doesn't bare thinking with this punitive tax regime.
Those ill fitting front doors on both sides would make me suspicious of accident damage.
I am not wasting my money on a car vertical check just to find out.
An high milage ex farmers car that has child seat dents in the leather is enough to show
the sort of life it has led.
As a cheap runabout it might be OK, but not a vehicle that i would risk buying.
I hope you're doing well too
Thanks 🙏🏼
Try servicing the gearbox sounds to me like like a clutch slipping
It's auto isn't it so probably not a clutch unless it's there just for the annoying noise
Put the Radio on loud then you won’t hear the noise😂
Did you sell the tourag it's not on the part ex page
Thought it was scrap?! 😂
It had full service history and just had a service less than a month ago
the noise sounds like a belt slipping the road tax could kill it but great video
If the door didn’t open from the inside is that not an MOT failure 🤔 if so I’d question the MOT legality
Well you saw that we fixed it… guess if we did that before or after the MOT 🤦🏼♂️
Exhaust leak?
Apparently not
If it's chuffing and you can smell diesel in the car...an injector seal is away.
No it’s not an injector seal, that was my first guess too!
Didn't it clean up well,but £695 tax,wow that's a killer,great video by the way.
I checked it's actually £735 which is well above viable banger economics
never ceases to amaze me why people who own upmarket cars put budget tyres on them. its a real window into who they really are.
Another way of looking at it is some folk couldn’t give a toss what brand of tyres they have. Money or not they just don’t care as long as they are legal.
That's not a upmarket car it's practically scrap
LOL... stop buying shite 😂
The noise sounds like a belt or a pulley of some kind. Might even be bearing.
Use coolant but very reliable just watch the injectors
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
👌👌
A good valet makes it look like a different car.
It sounds like the arch hole doesn't work very well.. sell it to Carbase.
😂
Do you know what's going on with the old Carbase site at Brent Knoll? I'm sure it's had a coat of grey on the walls..
@@jellalabad1842 All I know is that they wouldn’t let me have the place! 😂
Steven Paul Winter - a busy boy... How many directorships??
Nice Porsche
that needs scrapping surely ?
It's not that bad! 😂
Send it to auction and let the next person sort it out.
Sorry but that is a farm vehicle or scrap . That ain't worth your mechanics.time
Plug it into diagnostic tester😢
That door handles a giggle ain't it! dissapointing selection of guff under the back seat.
I will have it, free to good home lol.
Think you give strong money for the toureg .bit of a bin
It didn't stand them in that though. Part exchanged against a Range Rover the purchasers forgo a bit of discount probably around the grand mark.
Surely anyone with any sense would clean their car before offering it for part exchange.
Its a dog
Massive arch holes hahahaha
Your Touareg is needing scrap yard would not resell that
€1200 in Ireland tax
Ouch
£55 on MOT - surely not
Sadly so
@@ShiftingMetal but trade price is £35
@@ianmason3040 says who, the garages decide for themselves and it’s supply and demand I guess. Not enough stations round here obviously
@@ShiftingMetal the next part of your expansion then 👍🏻
@@ianmason3040 The straight through price is generally £55...
Absolute money pit.
😂 massive arch hole!
injector seal?
No, checked that
