#254 of 287 2006---2007 by jholley Feb 19, 2007 (9:49 am)
I own a 2006 V8 Touarge. I have been satisfied with it with the exception of the tire wear. I wanted the diesel but did not want to pay the difference. The dealer has a great deal on left over 2006 diesels. Any difference in the 2006 and 2007 diesels? Also mine has 19" wheels and new tires . The diesel the dealership has available has 18" wheels. Can I swap the wheels and tires and the dealership make the necessary computer changes to make sure my speedometer and odometer are correct? Jim Replies to this message: panzer (Feb 19, 2007 4:57 pm)

Replying to: jholley (Feb 19, 2007 9:49 am) If you are worried about tire wear, why would you want 19" wheels? The tires on the 18's are all season and should last slightly longer than the summer tires on the 19's and they don't cost as much. I doubt if there's a computer change required. The tires should be about the same diameter. The diesel is fine, but you could have three V8's for the price of two diesels. I don't get it. The V8 drives and tows just fine. If you think the V8 eats tires, wait till you stomp on that diesel (power & weight). You can buy a lot of tires for the price difference.

Replying to: spockcat (Feb 06, 2004 6:58 am) I think that considering the cost of a Touareg, they certainly couldve had it towed for you....rather than driving it. Dealers do this alot...they also couldve located one closer to your area! Here is my Touareg predicament. I bought an '04 T-reg in Dec. I have made 2 payments on the car and I am now faced with a $1200 repair that vw is refusing to take responsibility for although it is clearly a manuf. oversight. The transmission line rubbed against the frame until a hole wore into the line. Now the whole front end must be removed to replace it, hence the $1200 repair bill. I bought it at 57k mi...asking the dealer if it had been looked at-they said YES their VW dealership looked at the car and it was fine. Obviously they LIED!! I just passed 60k mi which was the fact warranty but I feel that the prob had to have started before 60k mi. SO to all of you potential T-reg owners out there...BE WARNED!!! They told me that this hasnt been a commonly reported problem which is baffling to me if all of the T's were built the same way! The car was never wrecked so I dont understand how the buyer can be made responsible for the close proximity of this line to the car's frame. I love the T,just very disappointed in the way VW has responded to a manuf issue.

Replying to: diva113 (Mar 16, 2007 2:16 pm) I was awaken at 4am by the popping & eery whistling noises of my 2004 VW Touareg on fire. Still not sure if it was arson or some sort of electrical malfunction that may be typical of this car. I've had numerous electrical malfunctions to the dashboard computer alerting me that my emergency brake was on when it wasn't, or that the tire pressure had changed when it had not, or that the brake pads need to be replaced when in fact they didn't. I want to find out if anyone else has had an experience of their Touareg mysteriously catching on fire?
#263 of 287 Buying our leased vehicle? by dylcon Apr 04, 2007 (12:21 pm)
Our lease on a 2004 V6 Touareg runs out June 4. Our buyout price on the car is $21,591.08 with taxes, tag and title.   The car is in perfect (excellent) condition inside and out, has 26,450 miles on it, standard AM/FM singel CD player, fold-in mirrors, Xenon headlights, moon roof, new tires... no other major options.   I was thinking about purchasing it and trying to resell it, as Private Party value is between $26,100-$27,100.   Is it worth it, or should I just give it back to VW?
