I sold mine a couple years ago, it did have a power steering line leak on which I replaced the clam and fixed the problem with. For your power steering fluid don't forget to replace it, it's a mineral oil and not synthetic fluid. Putting in synthetic fluid might cause leaks to appear. Best to stick to OEM fluids (power steering, brake fluid, coolant). I used Castrol full synthetic oil with no issues. Yes LED bulbs worked great for low and high beams. I had also replaced my marker lights and fog lights with LEDs.

Thanks

The clock is always on even when the car is off. The compass on the display becomes active when the car is on, when the car is off the compass goes off but the clock remains.

Thanks and too bad you can't get one. If you want to import one of from Canada let me know.

It's treating me great. Depending on where you live, similar to mine they might start having some corrosion on them, under and around door handles primarily. Usually around 80-100k miles their center driveshaft center support bearing hanger starts to fail, easy fix but the shaft is not cheap. Also the flex pipes start to fail around that mileage, they are not cheap either and labour is expensive. Other than that they are great SUVs. I'm assuming you are looking at a 3.2 and not a 3.6 since it's a 2006, that's what I have. 3.2s are more reliable since there is no direct injection but they are more thirsty for gas than the 3.6 while producing less HP than the 3.6.

If the original oil stick does not reach the oil you have a problem. I never had an issue with it ever burn or leak any oil.

Very true but these cars are still super complicated even in the most base form.

Unfortunately where I am they are rare to come along. Especially the first generation with a real 4x4 setup, a low range and locking differentials.

They are crazy good SUVs when it comes to capability (on road, off road, towing, winter) you name it and the Touareg does is. Key to having one last is proper maintenance.

There is no auxiliary input for these, I ended up getting an auxiliary kit that plugs into the CD changer connector and emulates a CD changer and providing a AUX input and iPhone cable. In 2007 the updated until included more options including Bluetooth.

It does now. I installed a GTA AUX/Bluetooth kit that plugs into the CD changer port on the back of the head unit which gives me an AUX input and Bluetooth. Very easy install and amazing sound quality.

@@midealautoclub Would you happen to have a link for this product? Is it available in Canada? Thanks for the video, excellent insight and info!

@@brotherprays-withoutceasing This is a Canadian company from Concord Ontario. www.gtacarkits.com/product/volkswagen-touareg-2002-2010-iphone-aux-kit/

3.2 VR6, in Canada we got the 3.6 in 2007

Only way to do it correctly is to use a Vag-Com with VCDS and code it off or slightly apply the parking brake

@@midealautoclub On mine, there is an option to disable/enable it from the car's menu (accessible via the steering wheel buttons).

@@koopakoop Good to know. What market is it from? For us in Canada DRL is mandatory since 1996, even in imported cars they need to be modified to have DRL always on.

@@midealautoclub Oh, good to know. This is in Europe, and they were optional at the time (except in Nordic Countries).

​@@midealautoclubin Australia as well DRL is enabled from the menu

I do it once a month or so. It's much peppier after a adaptation reset.

@@midealautoclub good man

I have a V8 top of the lineup, yet its doesn't have a hitch, roof rack, all if the lights you showed, and it doesn't have the height settings so maybe it's not a top of the line. I has no idea how to turn on the fog lights until your video.

@@jdominguez3312 V8 has additional features and packages, Air Suspension is one of the additional packages giving you the ability to raise and lower the car height. It's a great system when it works. That package also included and air compressor and hose so you can inflate your tires yourself. As for the hitch and roof rack those were part of the outdoor adventure package and was also and optional extra when it was new.

If the kessey unit stops working and keys are locked in and steering locks simply disconnect the neg battery cable under passenger seat for 30 seconds. This often resets the system and will allow you to move the car to get it sorted.

Not sure I get your comment
