Touareg - a few questions
I am looking at buying a second hand Touareg privately and would like to check on a few points.
What are the servicing costs like and how often ?
Are Touareg expensive to run ? I read on Drive Arabia that the breaks need an overhaul every 15,000kms and it is very expensive.
Does it makes much difference whether you buy a 2004 0r 2005 or 2006. Was there any major changes I should be taking into consideration ?
Any info on what to check for will be much appreciated!

if you are getting an older one who cares about VW servicing costs... give the Bosch service centre a call - I went there today and thought they were very good (haven't got the car back yet though

Re: Touareg - a few questions
Hi - I have a 2006 model V6 and (touch wood) had no problems at all, air con is totally fine, it does swallow petrol average 500km for full tank - 115dhs to fill up, had breaks done once at 40,000km and same with tyres at 40,000km....there was a global recall on few older models re: handbrake sensor and dodgy Al Nabooda tried to charge us for it...average service with them is 2000dhs from memory...if you can, get the V8 for bit more clout!

Re: Touareg - a few questions
I was looking for a touareg for my wife for the last months. There's a lot of US imports in town and a lot of general sh1te around.
