• I Bought a $1,800 VW T...
This is Part 2 of picking up the $1,800 V8 Touareg. The big questions in this video is do we turn around and fly back home or do we risk it and drive the Touareg the 1,000 home. I was a hard decision.
Let me know what you think.

Great video, Josh. I might overlook checking the oil before the first start too if I had just bought a nice Touareg like that. All the excitement. Eventually, reality does set in and you have to...oh I don't know, open the hood..hmm... It was great seeing parts of I-84 again. I've traveled on that freeway many times, and I-15 too. I miss Boise.

Check the plugs and timing. If the valve cover gaskets and plug seals leak, oil will get into the plug chamber and cause a misfire. Could also be related to the timing belt and cam chain tensioners if the timing belt service was neglected. There's you tube videos on this. It's common with these v8 engines.

Exhaust leak maybe. Exhaust manifold would be more noisy when cold and quieten a bit when warmed up.

An 800 mile road trip and you didn't check the oil level carefully? At least I would have had extra oil with me just in case. Hopefully the oil level warning light is working and you haven't done any additional damage. Good thing you didn't need to replace the battery because it's a real pain to do. Glad you made it home ok.

I defiantly should have paid better attention. I bought an extra 5 qt jug after i got the oil to the right level. Drove the rest of the way with it. Didn't end up having to use it.

Battery is pretty easy if you have the propper triple square and know how to do it. In a nutshell, pop front and back base plastic covers, loosen the front two triple squares and tilt the seat and adjust the seat to make room.

I would never drive a car over 30mins with a flashing engine light. Most times it's a bad coil or something, but could be bad timing or low compression. Either way, you're gonna be dumping raw fuel into your cat which not only wastes gas but clogs your cat. I would unplug an injector on the misfiring cylinder before I do a trip like this to prevent any further damage

New vee dubs are garbage plastic throw away cars. I have a few 60's bugs with dual carbs,big cams,bored out engine etc.. And they never break down. The only car broke in my yard is a car with a computer/ECU issue. Anyone with a clue about mechanics or cars,knows these new cars are plastic junk.
