Hi. I've been driving a Passat B4 for the past ten years. The engine's great but rust has taken it's toll and I found a 2006 Touareg 2.5l TDI for sale.
I know the AHU engine inside and out, I had issues with the Mass airflow sensor, exhaust manifold gumming up, seat heaters burning up, AC condenser leaking, ground wire on the starter corroding, door handle springs seizing and other common VW electronic quirks. But I don't know this engine.
I've read reviews saying that it's under powered, that it's hard to pass at highway speeds. Any advice on quirks common problems or performance would be very helpful. How is it at towing? i.e. A boat, utility trailer. Is 26 mpg combined accurate?
Thanks
