Hi there, new to this Touareg game.
Just replaced my wifes Range Rover with a 3l V6 TDI Touareg (due to me writing the RR off!)
Seems to be okay, not as smooth as the RR , but has lots more power and drives a little more like a car. Got it running around 280bhp after a re map.
Anyway, the car is almost three years old now and is going in on tuesday for some warranty work. The boot wont release from the switch in the car and the parking sensors have a mind of their own.
The other point is the alloys. It has a set of 20" ten spoke alloys. Not seen them on many Touaregs. They have a great polished finish but they are corroded very badly on all four. They have suffered the odd kerbing by the looks of things, but the areas where the black corrosion is taking place have never been touched. There is even corrosion round the caps in the middle.
Has any one had joy getting the wheels replaced if they have had this problem?
And last of all. The interior is light beige leather. The rear "ash trays" I think you would call them, on the doors have small areas of the rubber coating starting to peel off. Has anyone had this? I was going to ask if I could have them replaced too. Sounds picky, but hey!!
Is there any thing else I should be looking for and asking them to check or replace due to known faults?
I asked them to check for any software up dates that should have been done too.
It has just been serviced about four thousand miles ago, so I would hope that any thing needed was done then, however, this is is the motor trade we are talking about isn't it!!
I have only had the car a month or so and covered less than one thousand miles, so any pointers would be appreciated.
Regards
Jamie
