Thank you for this. Sorry I should have been clearer that I've been following the schedule in the sense of I've had the dealership do this (I have a good local dealer I trust). I was asking more about front/rear differentials, transmission fluid, etc. VW says they are lifetime but I've seen...

I've had it since 72k miles when it was recommissioned. Prior to sale they replaced the Ad-Blue heater. I've kept up with 10k mile services (i.e. LOF, cabin filters). At 84k miles the HPFP failed (happened to my 11 JSW too 10 years ago) last March so they replaced all 3 fuel pumps, injectors...

Hi All: My 2012 TDI LUX is nearing 110k miles and is closing in on the end of its warranty coverage for both CPO and emissions which is at the end of September 2021. What needs to be done or should be done at 120k miles? I'm planning on tuning and deleting the DPF as soon as it is out of...

Hi All: I'm closing in on the end of my warranty for my 2012 VW TDI Lux. I'd like to go with the Malone Stage 2 tune first and then eventually after my inspection next year go to a delete. Can someone give me an idea of what it costs for labor to install the delete kits? Any idea what it would...

Quick update... still waiting on parts. Have been going back and forth between VWOA and the dealership. Supposedly the supplier can't get the material to manufacture the part. Right now they are saying an eta of mid-to-late June but I don't believe it.

Saw my Touareg at the dealership the other day. Hadn't seen it in 3 months. Not going to see it again for another month + :(

Quick update here: spoke with a nice gentleman at VWOA who unfortunately couldn't provide much in the way of assistance with the exception of noting that the HPFP did grenade and took the fuel system with it. They have all of the parts with the exception of the fuel rail which I'm being told...

Thanks Oilhammer. Glad to see you are still here (it has been a few years since I've been active here) and providing valuable advice. Just got a call from the dealership (again they've been really good about keeping me updated) to say that the part is now on a 4-6 week backorder. They are...

I bought my 2012 Touareg TDI CPO back in October 2019 with 72k miles. I'm now at 85k miles. Two weeks ago as I was driving the glow plug light came on and the vehicle reduced power. The MIL illuminated shortly thereafter. I brought it to my trusted local dealership where I bought the car and...

Where in mass are you locate?

72k miles. Yeah I've noticed that there are a decent number of touaregs out there but not offered by VW dealerships. Gotta keep searching. I jumped on mine. They didn't even have a picture of it on their website but it was listed on CarGurus. Sorry to hear about your JSW.

Just picked up a 2012 TDI Touareg Lux with 70k miles. I'd like to start using an additive and IDParts (local to me) carries both the Optilube XPD and Optilube winter blend. Given that we are already in mid-october and I'm in the northeast, when can I start using the winter formula?

Quick update here - ended up picking up a 2012 Touareg TDI Lux CPO with 72k miles on it this weekend. Traded the jeep for it (my son cried about getting rid of the jeep) but it just made too much financial sense not to. Happy to be back in the tdiclub!

Sorry for not getting back to you. There was an issue obtaining the title from VW so I didn't want to jinx it. Yes so it was a 2012 CPO 72k miles with the 2yr unlimited mile warranty. Purchase price was $15.5k and they gave me roughly $27k for my Wrangler with 64k miles. Probably could have...

Thank you for answering my post. I ended up purchasing the Touareg over the Audi primarily due to the fact that it is CPO and has a 2 year unlimited mile warranty from VW which I could not seem to find being offered from any Audi dealers. Picking up this week once the title arrives from VW corporate

Hi All: Looking to reduce my current vehicle costs. Have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited (lifted with 35"s wheels) that gets 15mpg on a good day. Currently costing me $850 per month to drive (payment plus fuel). I used to have a Jetta Sportwagen TDI that I purely loved. I'm considering...

My girlfriend and I are looking for a manual transmission TDI wagon to be used for long trips when it doesn’t make sense to drive our wrangler. We found this one on Craigslist - https://southcoast.craigslist.org/cto/d/acushnet-2002-vw-jetta-tdi-wagon-clean/6912533956.html I know it has high...

Thanks. I looked at a 2014 Audi Q7 TDI the other day. Guy said that they've dried up but I feel like there weren't many Audi's around. With that said I'd agree with you about the Touaregs as I've been watching and until recently there were only a couple around.

Thanks!! Unfortunately already sold but they said they can find me another one.

Thinking about buying a 2011 Touareg Exec TDI with 75k miles that I found on craigslist for $16,900. Given the mileage and the emissions warranty (have to find out if the fix has been done and when) this seems like a pretty good deal. Any concerns or considerations...
