#1867 of 2207 VW SERVICE SUX + THEY LIE! by bcj2 May 18, 2004 (1:23 pm)
I previously owned a 2000 Audi quattro + loved both the car + the dealer service. In Richmond, 1 VW dealer is just a few miles away while the other is about 45 mins 1 way in traffic. You can definitely tell the difference between a luxury dealer like Lexus, Acura, Audi etc compared to VW. My thought is that people spending $40k+ on a veh expect better treatment for service. If we don't get it, we'll take out business elsewhere. Unless VW shapes up, they've lost my business for good.   By the way, the dealer suddenly got in an airbag this afternoon. We'll see how it goes w/ svc tomorrow - i'll mention the remote range again

Who is your dealer?

I guess I can say a dealer name here as long as I do not list individual names. My dealer is Bob Lewis VW on Capitol Expressway in San Jose, CA.
#1870 of 2207 VW Touareg Mileage Advertising Discrepancy? by mikeri2 May 20, 2004 (6:21 am)
VW's website claims that the V6 AWD 2.3l model gets 18/26 mpg, yet the EPA, KBB, and Edmunds sites claim 15/20 mpg.   Which one is right? Who's lying?   I'm seriously considering one of these.   Also... Will the 2005 be worth waiting for? Any anticipated improvements? Hybrid?   Thanks in advance Mike Replies to this message: sebring95 (May 20, 2004 7:07 am) panzer (May 20, 2004 7:26 am)

Replying to: mikeri2 (May 20, 2004 6:21 am) The VW.com lists the 3.2L V6 at 15/20. Possibly you're looking at the wrong vehicle or the european vw site?   Won't be any hybrids from VW. They've already stated they have no intention of developing this, and I wouldn't hold my breath for any european manufacturer to do it. Their diesel models are the bread and butter in the rest of the world. Replies to this message: panzer (May 20, 2004 7:26 am)

Replying to: sebring95 (May 20, 2004 7:07 am) As of a couple of weeks ago, vw.com did, indeed list 18/26 for the 3.2 liter v6. It appears they've fixed their faux pas. By the way, my v6 Touareg averages 16-18mpg in mixed driving, and about 20mpg in steady highway driving at 70-80 mph. This is with good premium (shell) and about 1mpg less with cheap gas that I think has more ethanol in it.
#1874 of 2207 VW Service by bcj2 May 20, 2004 (4:00 pm)

#1875 of 2207 Transmission Problem by bcj2 May 23, 2004 (11:53 am)
I had my 1st long trip w/ the toureg this weekend. Both on the ride down + on the ride back, the transmission had the same problem - after being on the hwy ~65mph for 2 hrs, the transmission made a loud thump noise + vibration when slowing down off the hwy. I looked at the gear indicator each time I heard the thump + noticed the veh in 4th gear both times.   Anyone else notice this? Thoughts? Replies to this message: tbradshaw (Oct 21, 2004 8:45 am)
#1876 of 2207 Burn marks on muffler! by username12345 May 31, 2004 (12:04 pm)
I noticed small 1/2" burn marks and a tad of a discoloration to a good amount of my muffler. I am not a gear head so sorry for this but its not the muffler pipe its the main portion thats exposed on the back bottom of the car. I asked the dealer if it was a concern since it was purchased in December. My thought was that if its showing signs of "wear" now what will it look like in a year and god forbid what will happen within the year. The sevice guy told me it was "working" correctly... but I didnt get a good response really that made me feel safe.   My question to all of you is... is this safe? Have any of you encountered this? Is this a VW thing?   Thanks!
