Hello fellow tdi owners! I am having an issue deciding on if I want a Audi Q7 or VW Touareg. Specifically I have researched and read what I can and I understand all the main aspects such as, the q7 is nicer, has the 3rd row, and basic information like that. I am after a little more in depth info.. for example,
1. The 6 speed vs the 8 Speed? other then better fuel economy with the 8 speed and nicer shifts is their any issues with the 6 speed with higher mileage?
2. The 4 timing chains vs the 2 timing chains in the newer engines. Is their an issue with the 4 timing chain design in the long run? Has anyone had any issues?
3. Electronics. I know in the past I have had issues with the electronics on older Audis (2000-2005) has anyone had any big issues with parts failing?
Any other experiences or issues you may have had I would love to know about before I make my decision....
also a little bit of a background of myself. I do all my own maintenance for the most part.. I currently own two VW Tdi's. when it comes to oil changes, transmission flush, brakes, fuel filter, etc. its not a problem. But timing chains, dropping transmission, and larger repairs they may arise I dont really want to do in my driveway and I usually would take those kinds of repairs into a shop to do.
Thanks in advance and I know this is the Q7 section but any info on why you DID NOT buy a Q7 and got a touareg instead I would love to know!
