Our Tech Duncan at DAP Repair NC bought a 180,000 Mile 3L V6 Turbo TDI Touareg off of Facebook Marketplace for $8,000 dollars! When ever one of our employees buys a car we love to make videos inspecting them to see if they got a good deal!
In the Past we have videos around the Touareg 1 V8 which we still have to this day!

I helped my aunt buy a Toureg about 20 years ago. She specifically wanted the height adjustable suspension as she had two hip replacements. Now, at 94 YO she still zips all over Phoenix with it. Granted that can be a bit frightening at times! But she loves that car.

My neighbor has the V10 version of this same generation. He bought it new and uses it exclusively to tow his Ginster Yellow Mk3 VR6 GTI (also owned since new) to the Tail of the Dragon in NC a few times per year. It’s only a 400 mile highway drive so I asked him why he doesn’t just drive the GTI and he told me that it only has 4600 miles 🙃 He daily drives a minty clean V10 S8 and his wife has an SQ8 so it’s not a money thing. Dude just really loves his GTI!

Only issue I had is previous owner hit a rock and bent the trans cooler, so that was replaced, but apart from that it’s been solid. Super comfy to drive and can tow a decent bit.

In Turkey, cars are overpriced with taxes. We could only afford 2003 XC90 Volvo. We had to do maintenance on injectors(to be safe), suspension etc. It didn't cost much but things will come up and that's the trade-off for buying luxury car with small price. We are 330.000 kilometres and very pleased to go long trips. We got to know a good Volvo workshop too. We even know like old stupid mistakes like engine cap not opening due to small errors etc. But when I go to dinners, my bosses and people are mindblown to see me drive that Volvo XC90 when it's cheapest car there! What is the alternative? We compared 2023 XC90 and our 2003 XC90 side-by-side in workshop, new cars have 100X more stuff to go wrong. (hybrid, eletric unis etc....)

@stevemasonwilder9 16 дней назад

I’ve had several TDI Golf’s and bought a 2013 TDI Touareg last year. It is so big and fancy. Unfortunately it had a broken timing chain tensioner and has had the engine out for several months while the shop and I search for parts and tools. While the engine was out it’s getting: - head gaskets - valve guides - a new turbo - a fuel pump - exhaust manifolds - new cat - new DPF - injectors - many many coolant leaks fixed Currently waiting for a tool to adjust gear lash on the cam gears. I’ll need to fix some broken rear springs and strut mounts too. More 7P Touareg content please.

@stevemasonwilder9 16 дней назад

@@TassieLorenzo Yes, it’s going to cost two or three times the purchase price for all the repairs. I certainly would have looked for something else if I had known all the issues earlier. However, I don’t know of any new vehicles that are comparable though especially since there are so few new diesel cars for sale in Canada now. The Atlas just isn’t anything like the Touareg.

@Rockport1911 17 дней назад

As a euro going for a Diesel in anything weighing more than 2 tons is a given. The V8 TDI is also very tempting on this generation but probably wasnt available in the US. Because when the timing chains need replacing in a full engine- out- service its better to have a V8 in the end. Also brwon metallic cars look so dated, that color was a short trend back in the day and quickly vanished.

@vikxdz 17 дней назад

Touaregs are great, my dad still has a 2007 (1st gen facelift) 3.0 TDI V6 with air ride and for the ~10 years we've got it the only problems it's ever had are the sensors for the air ride, which are kind of expensive. But overall it really has been great. Lots of space, comfortable, good for longer trips. As a MK5 Golf driver the "issues" I've got with it is it's a pretty big car for smaller cities, as it's like 2.5 tonnes, which takes a toll on urban economy, and is 4.7+m long etc etc, the 6 speed auto (Tiptronic) changes slowly and the car when stock is pretty slow. With a bit of tuning it really could be something. But as I said, still a very good car and would recommend.

@Cristian121212100 17 дней назад

@TheXestenz 9 дней назад

The 3.0 liter turbo diesel TDI has a ticking time bomb: The high pressure fuel pump. Being a common rail fuel delivery system, when this pump inevitably craters due to (unavoidable over time) fuel contaminants, it will send metal fragments throughout the entire fuel system (including the tank and pumps via fuel return), and essentially ruin the entire car. My otherwise well-maintained and strong running 2013 Toureg TDI Executive just did this at 120K miles, and had to be sold for scrap. The pump is located at the rear of the engine and is NOT easily replaced for preventative maintenance.

@TheXestenz 9 дней назад

ALSO: Watch out for a very common oil leak from the upper oil pan seal on the 3.0L. VW used a robot-applied sealant to this joint -- which could either be misapplied and/or harden and lose elasticity over time, causing an increasingly bad weeping or leak. Only way to repair is to pull the entire engine and reseal from the block up...

@TheTardis157 13 дней назад

The worst failure a modern TDI can have is having the high pressure fuel pump go out. Once it fails, it takes out itself, the other pumps, all fuel injectors, and a majority of the hardlines due to all the metal shrapnel sent through the system. Best thing you can do is use quality diesel, an additive, and possibly replacing the CP4 fuel pump with a CP3. I had it fail on my A3 and the dieselgate warranty covered me. Others might not be so lucky...

@VWRalf 17 дней назад

Never understood why people say that these go through brakes. I have a 2006 and a 2013 and don't go through brakes. Just changed brakes on my wifes 2013 that we bought with 89K miles and it's at 159K. Even with the assumption that the brakes were new when we bought it, 60K miles isn't bad for brakes. The rears had about 2mm left before the wear sensor. I have changed brakes twice on my 214K mile 2006 that I bought with 58K miles.

I don’t think you are right about the dieselgate warranty unless there’s something different about earlier models. The warranty was for 10 years and 120k miles from in service date or 4 years and 48k miles from emissions modification. I don’t believe you said what year this was but based on the headlights I think newest is a 2016 model but the mileage makes it out of warranty. I love these things. I have a Cayenne diesel myself.
