Hi all, just bought a 2012 Touareg Sport with 93K last week. Just curious to know if anyone has any insight on what VW actually does to these other than the emissions updates. I filled it with winterized diesel from Kwik-Trip in Green Bay Wi, and added 1oz Howe's Diesel Treat per 2.5 gallons since we are already having subzero temps. It had about 1/2 tank when I bought it, but no idea how old the fuel was. The tires are very good Pirelli's, but had some flat-spotting from sitting that made a pretty good slap at speed. That's getting better, but I doubt if it will go away entirely. All 3 wiper blades fell apart with the first snow. The brakes are good, with no rust or pitting on the rotors. It had about 100 miles on it since the VW update at 93,033, and supposedly had a fresh oil change with Castrol Synthetic. I have no way to verify that, and was planning on waiting to the 100,000 mile service. All in all, it's actually in better shape than I thought it would be after sitting for a couple of years.
