Volkswagen Touareg 7P (2011-2018) Questions & Answers

Hi Geoff,
I assume the 150 Touareg has not got air suspension. I had weight distribution bars and anti sway on my previous 2009 Touareg which did not have air suspension and it worked well. Volkswagen don’t recommend it for air suspension models. Cheers Ian

Unfortunately it does have air suspension, the anti sway system has provided very efficient on 3 occasions and I would be reluctant to tow a van without one. Thanks for your answer

Km's depends on the past owner.

As a rule of thumb, most Australians drive about 25,000 k's per year (give or take a bit). I bought a 2nd hand Treg at 90,000 and is doing really well. Probably because of the deisel engine.

Both have the same engine. The V6 label is usually reserved for the model with air bag suspension, the 150 being standard steel springs. The V6 has more 'goodies' in the car and so is more enjoyable to drive. For example, all V6's have powered tailgate's, but some 150's didn't.

Both are great to drive, but the V6 luxuries make the drive more enjoyable. Also, a few 4XMotion examples of the V6 are around. They have a 4WD function as well as the SUV 'all WD'.

Cheers

Touregs in Australia are all V6. There’s 150kw and 180. For towing recommend 180. As to km’s will vary greatly ideally no more than 30-40,000. Price will vary according to km’s.

First thing I would do is find out all genuine VW dealers and service centers. Then find out all other mechanics that claim VW repair capability.
I would also check out and look out at Amarok bulletin boards. Amarok is a favorite serious off road Ute from VW. If Amaroks can get serviced/repaired then most likely Touregs would as well.
Hope this helps as I don’t believe there is a 100% guarantee anywhere out bush. Even a dealer you
May have to wait for parts. Then again reliability on these cars is very good in my opinion.

Hi, I have only done 14000kms in 2 years but am very happy with the car and would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase one. I haven't had any issues with it since I bought it. You could try looking at a forum to get answers from others that may have done higher kms.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for your feedback !
