#542 of 547 Definitely use Premium gas or lose power by qpower Sep 16, 2009 (12:05 pm)
Actually, there is a sticker which clearly calls out for minimum 91 octane gas. You can always use lower octane, but you will sacrifice power and some economy.   Eventually, you will be unhappy with the loss of spirit.   To say that no vehicles in NA require premium gas is absurd. I had a Chrysler Pacifica that "recommended" mid grade 89 octane gas, but I never followed that recommendation. That seemed unnecessary. The Touareg is a different story.

#543 of 547 Don't use Premium gas and maybe lose power by elias Sep 17, 2009 (9:42 am)
Replying to: qpower (Sep 16, 2009 12:05 pm) gpower, perhaps we disagree on the definition of 'required' and 'recommended' in this context. Can you give an example of a gas car/suv for which premium gasoline is required? Here are my definitions: Premium Required = warranty-voided and engine-damage possible unless-you-use premium. Premium Recommended = vehicle may have reduced power or mpg if you don't use premium, but warranty and engine will remain fine/intact. If you are using different a different definition for 'required' please let me know what it is. Thanks for your consideration.
#544 of 547 pneumatic suspension system by jeff318 Nov 15, 2009 (10:05 am)
I have an 04 Tourage. In the last few days it has started to make squeaking noises. They are coming from the suspension system on all four tires. This leads me to believe that it is something with the pneumatic suspension system. Has anyone else had an issue with this? Also am I right in my diagnosis? Thank you all for your help.
#545 of 547 touareg electrical problems by caranci Nov 16, 2009 (5:30 pm)
The in dash display tells me to move selector to park position while i'm driving. Has this happened to anyone else? The dealer can't find the problem and it's very annoying flashing every 30 seconds while your driving. Replies to this message: elias (Nov 17, 2009 12:36 pm)

Replying to: caranci (Nov 16, 2009 5:30 pm) that is annoying, alright, caranci. possibly consider applying black electrical tape to block the flashing light? :| (that's why I do for the TPMS light all winter, since my snowtires+steelwheels do not have TPMS).
