#1893 of 2207 Toureg problems & problems w/ my dealer's service by bcj2 Jun 10, 2004 (4:34 pm)
I previously posted the problem I had w/ the airbag light + my dealer's run-around to get it fixed. Well, 3 wks after the "fix", the airbag light is on again. . . and the tire pressure system is malfunctioning.   I took it to the dealer + told them I'll pick it up when it's fixed for good. I demanded a toureg loaner + the dealer refused for "insurance reasons." As a former insurance defense lawyer for 10 yrs, I have no idea what "insurance reasons" he is talking about, nor could he give me any specific reason. I called VW corporate + the best they could do is authorize me $60 day for a rental.   2 strikes on my toureg so far, 1 more + it's a lemon in Va. My wife is already looking at the Volvo XC90's again.   I do NOT recommend anyone spend $40,000+ on any VW product when the dealers have no idea how to provide service at a luxury car level.

#1895 of 2207 re: muffler by username12345 Jun 11, 2004 (9:33 pm)
Just wanted to recap after my experience with the dealer.   They said that all of the Touaregs are coming back with the spots on the Muffler.   Additionally, though I knew the solution from here, I asked if it could be cleaned. The Service guy said that it wouldnt help as its coming from the inside. I then asked if there was a warranty or recall deal and he said not yet. I just cant imagine how it will look or act in a year. It really loks like it will be a big hole by years end. Replies to this message: spockcat (Jun 23, 2004 4:28 pm)
#1896 of 2207 Touareg 2005 Latest Info by fleuger99 Jun 17, 2004 (6:55 pm)
Hi All,    I was at the dealer this evening to try and get some info on the 2005's. There are a few changes:   V6 get 20Hp increase to 240Hp No single options anymore (park assist, xenons etc.) All options are now going to be packaged and there are now about 5 packages for the V6 Bad News - Park assist is now only available with Nav. No pricing availble just yet, they said July or Aug.
#1897 of 2207 Liked my V8 so much I traded up to a V10 by spockcat Jun 23, 2004 (4:25 pm)
As the title says, after 17,500 miles I decided to go for a V10. 700 miles so far and it is FANTASTIC. Lots more power than the V8. I took a 70 mile trip on the second day and already got the 23 mpg highway they advertise (while driving 75 to 80 mph). Should do even better when it is broken in.   There are a couple of TSBs that need to be performed: V570404 TB VW FOLDING KEY RADIO REMOTE CONTROL V870402 TB VW WINDSHIELD CONDENSATION EXT LOWER But that is no big deal.   Incidentally, I put together the below list of TSBs for the Touareg as of June 14, 2004. While it looks like a long list, one thing that can be said is that VW is working very hard to make this car better. One other TSB/software fix that is coming very soon is for the transmission shifting. Several people I know have already had the reflash done by VW QTM personel and report that it is a very good improvement on the problems they have had with their transmissions. Frankly, I didn't have any issues with the transmission in my V8 or my V10, so I won't bother with this TSB. Anyway, here is the list:   V000304 TB VW BATTERY CHECKING TERMINAL CLAMPS V000305 TB VW HEADLIGHTS ADJUSTEMENT OF PDI NOT V000306 TB VW NEW VEHICLE DETAILER RESPONSIBILIT V000308 TB VW VEHICLE INSP., PROTECTION REMOVAL V000309 TB VW ENGINE UPPER COVERS MISSING AT PDI V000402 TB VW BATTERY CUT-OFF SWITCH DISCONNECT V000403 TB VW BATTERY CUT-OFF DEVICE REMOVE PDI V000404 TB VW TECH PREPARATION CALLING DLR TECH V010307 TB VW UPDATE PROGRAMMING (FLASHING) CONT V010405 TB VW ENGINE CONTROL MODUEL ECM DO NOT R V010408 TB VW ENGINE CONTROL MODULE ADDITION DTC V010411 TB VW UPDATE PROGRAMMING (FLASHING) TCM V150401 TB VW MIL ON WITH DTCS P1347/17755 P1340 V170301 TB VW ENGINE OIL, SPECIAL REQUIREMENT V200302 TB VW EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP)SYSTEM V270302 TB VW BATTERY TESTING AND CHARGING MIDTR V270303 TB VW BATTERY, MAINTAINING CHARGE DURING V370301 TB VW AUTO TRANS SLIPS WHEN SHIFTING 2ND V430401 TB VW SELF-LEVELING SUSPENSION ERROR MES V440402 TB VW TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS ANTEN V440403 TB VW TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS WARNI V500401 TB VW PAINT FINISH, REMOVING INDUSTRIAL V550401 TB VW REAR HATCH GLASS, OPEN WARNING DIS V570302 TB VW ALARM SOUNDS IF TRAILER WIRING IS V570303 TB VW EFFECTIVE RANGE OF REMOTE CONTROL V570304 VW TB REMOTE CONTROL KEY TRANSMITTER PRO V570404 TB VW FOLDING KEY RADIO REMOTE CONTROL V630301 TB VW FRONT BUMPER, INSTALLING FRONT LIC V640301 TB VW NEW VEHICLE WINDSHIELD REAR SIDE V640302 TB VW NEW VEHICLE WINDSHIELD REAR SIDE G V680301 TB VW REAR SEAT ARMREST LID, DISENGAGED V680302 TB VW REAR SEAT ARMREST INCREASING CUPHO V680303 TB VW FRONT ARMREST CUPHOLDER LATCH MECH V690301 TB VW AIRBAG/PYROTECHNIC SEAT BELT DEPLY V690401 TB VW PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYS V690402 TB VW SIDE AIRBAG IGNITER DIAG TROUBLE V700303 TB VW FRONT DOOR PANEL VINYL PEELING AWA V870301 TB VW MUSTY ODOR FROM HEATING AND VENTAL V870302 TB VW AC COMPRESSOR INOPERATIVE DTC00445 V870402 TB VW WINDSHIELD CONDENSATION EXT LOWER V910301 TB VW ROOF DISPLAY FOR COMPASS ADAPTING V910302 TB VW RADIO, TONE, BALANCE OR FADER KNOB V910401 TB VW COMPACT DISC (CD) DISPLAYS ERR COD V910402 TB VW RADIO INOPERATIVE AFTER REPLACEMEN V910406 TB VW RADIO, INSUFFICIENT BASS OUTPUT BE V940301 TB VW HEADLIGHTS, MOISTURE ACCUMULATION V940302 TB VW GAS DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM COD V940303 TB VW TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY, REVOVAL PROCE Replies to this message: quemfala (Jul 02, 2004 5:40 am) spockcat (Jul 02, 2004 1:14 pm)
#1898 of 2207 re: muffler [username12345 #1895] by spockcat Jun 23, 2004 (4:28 pm)
Replying to: username12345 (Jun 11, 2004 9:33 pm) Apparently you didn't read my post #1886 about this. This can be cleaned with a product called Barkeeper's Friend. I cleaned mine at 12,000 miles and the discolorization didn't come back. The discolorization was from the manufacturing process and isn't an ongoing problem. The mufflers and pipes are stainless steel they will not rust away like plain steel mufflers on American iron.
#1899 of 2207 V10 TDI by quicks Jun 24, 2004 (12:52 pm)
The 2004 Models equipped with this engine are not available for purchase in California, New York, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts.   Does anyone know if the 2005 V10 TDI will qualify to be sold in any of these states? Replies to this message: spockcat (Jun 24, 2004 1:08 pm)
#1900 of 2207 Re: V10 TDI [quicks #1899] by spockcat Jun 24, 2004 (1:08 pm)
Replying to: quicks (Jun 24, 2004 12:52 pm) Rumor has it that VW will be offering 50 state Touareg TDI models in 2005.
#1901 of 2207 wow by golfgti201 Jun 24, 2004 (2:32 pm)
i live in California, which has one of the strongest emission laws out there. AS soon as i heard that the TDI Touareg wasn't coming to CAli, i wasn't;t very pleased. Maybe for the 2005 model year VW will try harder on their emissions to make it California driveable.......i hope. Replies to this message: big_guy (Jun 25, 2004 2:44 pm) dwpc (Jul 01, 2004 1:13 pm)
#1902 of 2207 Re: wow [golfgti201 #1901] by big_guy Jun 25, 2004 (2:44 pm)
Replying to: golfgti201 (Jun 24, 2004 2:32 pm) The problem not getting to California emissions standards has nothing to do with VW engineering ... rather it has to do with the crappy diesel fuel we have her in the states. I understand there legislation out that will start cleaning up the US spec diesel fuel starting in 2006 but the Oil lobby will probably pop out of the multiple legistlator pockets they have parked in and manage to push the time schedule for cleaning up the fuel further down the road.
