Excellent work! My opinion on the Touareg: 1. Check the specs when buying. Many do come with electric/memory seats. Seems the previous owner disliked electric seats 2. Our diesel isn’t the cleanest, so I’d be inclined to get the petrol versions 3. At 5M totally worth it Would choose it over the X5 any day. And I’m a BMW diehard . Prado: no. Discovery 4 heck no.
@@kevinswackyworld not too tech savvy and I’m not an expert , but yes removal of the dpf (with ÉCU remapping) would potentially solve the dirty diesel issue. The DPFs get clogged quite fast in our settings and end up ruining the engine. In other jurisdictions that I’ve lived in, it is illegal to remove the DPF. Your ride wouldn’t pass the emissions inspection.
Did some reading on DPF removal. For some of the newer models (those with AdBlue), removal is not easy. There is a 2nd cat converter downstream from the DPF that would get clogged with soot. Then there is the urea injection system to deal with. And re-tuning, remapping, reprogramming. Petrol version sounds an easier option in my non-expert opinion.
Toureg is a very nice car, comfort, off-road capability, fuel efficiency considering it has a diesel engine but then again ou diesel is not that clean I hope they can work on it so that we can enjoy buying diesel engine cars
Nice review however kuna kitu I need to highlight, you were given a very basic trim to review and that's why you imagine germans failed. Well no. I own a SEL trim whith more features. All electic operated seats, heating and cooling seats, all round camera that gives you birds eye view, soft closing doors, air suspension, drive assist features such blind spot monitoring, lane drift assist, safe distance assist and so much more. So RLine model is still one of the basic models of Touareg.
@@nalicksonmwangi Well, in the review, he already concluded that he doesn't expect the shortfalls of the trim he was reviewing to which I only advise him to do so unless he has review the top most trim level available. Am yet to see those top of the range trims in Kenya.
You guy ...REALLY LOVED the volvo restoration,I request you do something about sunroofs,,, and exhausts if you don't mind. i have seen a growing market for sunroofs,exhausts and bumper modifications. regards,loyal fan
Diesel is good in terms of fuel, but the cost of maintaining it super passes that of a petrol, infact the cost of fuel in petrol would be equivalent to the cost of maintaining a diesels.
the touareg you got was decent but the compressor thing was absolutely wrong in most of them the compressor has 12v adapter that you can hook up to your center console
Do you have a thing with VWs, honestly how can use crossover in the same sentence with Touareg. Umetuzoea wewe Erick😂 this is a full pledged SUV better than The LC 150s.
Great review Erick... however i need to critic u in a few areas. This is a lower trim Touareg that is lowly spec'd hence manual seat adjustments majority are electrical seats, ain't no way 4.2 ltr is a v6 it is actually a v8 that is married to the much celebrated zf 8 speed gearbox (porsche cayenne, urus, audi rsq8 etc), that v6 engine stock produces 262hp and 580nm of torque an is actually very powerful but detuned so as to let the Cayenne, Q7 shine...within the VW family range but if the ECU is tuned to a stage 1 it can produce 320hp and 680nm of torque a Prado 2.7 ltr petrol is can't compare to this it is seriously under powered, on reliability u can't compare this to a discovery these cars are built to last in long mileage as long as u service it when the period is due... Touareg is a serious vehicle...
Where as you correct on all you have said, this particular unit is 3 ltr turbo charged diesel to be specific 3.0 V6 Turbo FSI 286 hp (213 kW) (for V6 FSI Sport) with an 8 speed automatic gearbox and yes it is the basic unit hence the lack of many of those fancy features but it still moves when you press the pedal, the torque is on another level
Well, if you look at it in a different perspective, you will realize that that price is worth it. For instance, it has a brake pad sensor which will warn you if your pads are warn out. How many times have you seen people drive with warn out brake pads without their knowledge. When they happen to notice probably the damage is big to an extent disk rotors are requiredto be changed. That could be a costly maintenance that otherwise a sensor would have alerted you and you would avoid that extra cost. Another thing is tyre pressure monitoring system which would alert you of any indifference that could potentially lead to accident in cases it pulls on one side, or it would save you the cost of replacing tyres more often because under/over inflated tyres usually leads to tyres being warn out quickly. There is so much more that I can't mention all. As for me, as long as you have the cash, spend to avoid spending more at a later date. Remember cheap is expensive.

Hi Ben , is diesel still an issue after you've removed the dpf ?

Safety ratings???
Great review Erick... however i need to critic u in a few areas. This is a lower trim Touareg that is lowly spec'd hence manual seat adjustments majority are electrical seats, ain't no way 4.2 ltr is a v6 it is actually a v8 that is married to the much celebrated zf 8 speed gearbox (porsche cayenne, urus, audi rsq8 etc), that v6 engine stock produces 262hp and 580nm of torque an is actually very powerful but detuned so as to let the Cayenne, Q7 shine...within the VW family range but if the ECU is tuned to a stage 1 it can produce 320hp and 680nm of torque a Prado 2.7 ltr petrol is can't compare to this it is seriously under powered, on reliability u can't compare this to a discovery these cars are built to last in long mileage as long as u service it when the period is due... Touareg is a serious vehicle...
Where as you correct on all you have said, this particular unit is 3 ltr turbo charged diesel to be specific 3.0 V6 Turbo FSI 286 hp (213 kW) (for V6 FSI Sport) with an 8 speed automatic gearbox
and yes it is the basic unit hence the lack of many of those fancy features but it still moves when you press the pedal, the torque is on another level

Q5 all the way
Great car, but is it not too much at 5M ? for an 8 year old Beb
That's my issue too. You can get a brand new Fortuner with a warranty at the same price, plus VAT of course
Well, if you look at it in a different perspective, you will realize that that price is worth it. For instance, it has a brake pad sensor which will warn you if your pads are warn out.
How many times have you seen people drive with warn out brake pads without their knowledge. When they happen to notice probably the damage is big to an extent disk rotors are requiredto be changed. That could be a costly maintenance that otherwise a sensor would have alerted you and you would avoid that extra cost.
Another thing is tyre pressure monitoring system which would alert you of any indifference that could potentially lead to accident in cases it pulls on one side, or it would save you the cost of replacing tyres more often because under/over inflated tyres usually leads to tyres being warn out quickly. There is so much more that I can't mention all.
As for me, as long as you have the cash, spend to avoid spending more at a later date. Remember cheap is expensive.
5 M for an 8 year old car is a No.
