Detailed Review of a used VW Touareg 7L equipped with a 2.5 l R5 TDI engine.
I bought a used first gen. 2006 Volkswagen Touareg. A Touareg with the 2nd worst engine it was available with (the worst reliability wise is the 5.0 V10 TDI) . So in this video you will see the exterior, interior, the engine, how it drives and also what kind of issues I had with it, and what kind of issues this particular model with this engine can have.

never stop these please, so informative and very funny
Hi 2 years since i posted on here and my 2005 R5 2.5 tdi is still going strong
I have 200.000 miles on it now and in the tume i have had it i have replaced the 2 lower rear control arms and springs and 2 brake calipers discs and pads all round 2 oil services the centre prop shaft baring and 4 new tyres
The AC has got a whole in it and i will have to get that fixed
I will be sorting an oil leek on the engine i am almost sure its the turbo oil feed
But at 200.000 miles i think i will be changing the turbo as i do a lot of long European trips and dont want to be strsnded .
Your points about this engine being unreliable are not very valid in my opinion this car has 320.000kil 200.000miles on it and its going strong no smoke at any time its smooth and has good torque the gearbox is smooth and its a nice torrer for long holidays where you can travel all day on the motorway and still go off road at any time
The engine is easy to service with lots of room and easy access and lots of cheap parts
Yes a 3.0 v6 would be nice
But how much is a new timing chain on 1 of them
And how easy is it to stop the oil pouring out of it from every end ?
I fancy a Q7 next so will be watching your video on that
Or perhaps a x5 i dont know yet
But finally when i see my wife drive down the road with my little girl in the back seat i feel happy that they are in the strongest car ever made
And one thats worth 1100£ 😅
And thats a nice thought when you know how badly my wife drives 😅
Oo new format. Very good as usual! :)
I love your content! Dont stop uploading!
dude im glad your back
So glad to see you are back! You really have a very unique style! Please continue posting the great videos!
Bro, you are living legend!
Informative and entertaining. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Perfect review!👍👍👍
I've a touareg with the optional 19' wheels along with the standard suspension. The ride is pretty comfortable however a bit jittery when it is faced with really bad or no pavement bits. On the highway it is reaally comfortable.
Thanks for the good reviews
Such an awesome video!
Absolutely loved this
excellent content. Keep it coming.
Learned a lot from these video. Especially the body paint part thank you.
Nice Toe rag. Love these videos!
Thank you for this video, I have been looking at Touaregs for a while now. I love your videos. I am considering either the passat or Touareg.
Very informative review! I´m looking for a SUV like that so this really helps.
Fantastic review. Have been driving this same model for three years now and it has hit 392000 and still running very well. Thanks for this and I think I have to start looking out for those signs asap
Miles or km?
@@hadrianmansueto2556 most likely km
Preventative maintenance, buy it, take it to an indy, for a full check over, keep it serviced and it will go forever.
Very interesting and complete review. I have myself a 2008 R5 TDI with only 125k kms. There is also an unfindable oil leak near the vaccum pump. Overall, i agree with the conclusion: A lot of car for the money. Cheers from France.
I have finally seen your face. Good job. Keep it up.
thanks a lot for the explanation it really helps
Love this review.
Love your sarcastic presentation, very funny, keep it up. 👌👌
Thank you for the review! I was just about to buy a 2004 R5 for my wife as she is a new driver and I think the Touareg is a good and safe car for a new driver but there are so many things that could go wrong that I don't really would have the time to fix. Thank you once again and keep the quantity content coming 👍🍀
I would go for v6 tdi between 2007-2010
Great work.
Nice review, my R5 just clocked over 750,00 original kms and still runs like a dream, the same R5 in T5 vans will easily run up these kms too, but as you've stated are several things to keep a close eye on... furthermore there's actually an optional 16" rim for the R5 Touareg as they have the smallest brakes of all the models...
Hi I’m just about to buy a r5 2.5 Touareg overall would you say the engines are reliable?
Wow!!! The 2.5 tdi engine? What year
2006@@joshbuck2037
My first time. I heard the commentary while doing the dishes. Had to pay closer attention. It's a different car 🚗 review alright. Such a foul mouth 🤣. Subscribed!
Best youtube channel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been trolling the internet for reviews and this has to be the best and the funnest. Which is great because I live on a rock near the antartic and I am waiting 6 weeks for a ship to bring my V6 touareg to the Island. You made me laugh but you also made me feel pleased that I sold my 2.5 Touareg and waiting for my V6 version. But how do I now tell my dad that his Touareg 2.5 is sh**t ? He wont have a bad word said about his car. THe V6 is more economical as you said. Quite surprised that you said you would buy another one. Love your accent,. DJ Paddy, Falkand Islands Radio Presenter. There are no Touaregs on this island. It's only Land Rovers, so I will be the first to import one.
Slovakia accent ftw
ottima spiegazione....
Hi, I am VOLKSWAGEN TECHNICIAN in ETHIOPIA .I would like to appreciate you presentation.You describe it correctly the issue of this model.
Great car!! Super off road and in road
could you please do the BMW E63 630I or 635D second generation, it is my dream car and I could not found any informative review like in your channel so far
All the bolts beneath are rusty to say at least. Crossing fingers for those who have to work on this car... Otherwise really helpful content. Keep the good work !
I think its a really cool car😎
I have a soft spot for the first gen Touareg
Its a good solid car, the engine and gearbox are very average. it makes sense to put a subura engine and gearbox in.
Good video, but would appreciate it if you would count the wheels that come with this?? 🤔🤔
The usual superb insight into real world ownership told with a few f$#%'s thrown in 🤣👌👍
vr6 3.2 engine is ok ,or maybe one of the best what you can have in my opinion.
Great review
Do for the second generation also.
So where is the hydraulic press? ;) Great review, though.
Good evening my friend.. I have a question for you, are you sure that the WV Touareg 2006 does not have a DPF filter?
some of these cars do have a dpf actually, but it was optional + if I'm not mistaken it could be even additionally retrofitted
so yes you can find these cars with a dpf but not often since it was not common back then
Тоже приобрёл себе такой лет 7 назад, сильно не подводил, но помюстоянно надо что то открутить, а у японцев все болты только срезать болгаркой можно, а на туареге от руки, потому что раз в месяц приходится что то в нем делать, это нам кара за вторую мирлвую
We I just got a 2005 one of these so let's see how it goes
Everything seams to work 2.5 tdi auto with 173000 miles
Wondering if I should change that water pump ??
I will get all the fluids changed and have the brakes thoroughly checked over
Let's see how it goes I will keep you all posted
Just had one test drive and so far impressed
how is it going right now?
@@EngiNetion well so far
cost 600£ for all fluids changed and new discs and pads at the rear.
i am setting of on a 4.000 mile road trip tomorrow every inch of the car will be full of luggage or people lets hope for a good trip
a previous oner striped the sump plug then glued it back in So thats a job for after i get home and the electric driver seat has stopped going forward or back fortunately its all the way back ... not all the way forward
so i still fit
its a very relaxing car if you let it role along at its pace push it and it just makes a lot of noise
my friend has a V10 5.2 and that is a monster i cant explain just how powerful it is terrific thrust
but he is lucky to get 20 to a UK gallon i can get 33; pottering round town .
i will keep you posted perhaps put a video up of the trip.
@@billturner6564 how did the trip go? Do you have any update on the car? Im looking for a 2008 R5 too
Romanian city hall car tax: 2l engine- 30 euros, 2.0-2.6l 300 euros; 2.6-3l 550 eur. everything bigger not even worth mentioning so basically we are not allowed to be car enthusiasts. I already have a Phaeton so a second 3l engine in the family would be just sponsoring a worthless local government. R5 would have been a nice compromise but all mechanics start hyperventilating whenever I bring it up.
Exactly the same punishment in Serbia! >:(
2.0 and under is up to about 300 Euros. 2.1 - 2.5 - 450 Euros. 2.6 - 3.0 - 800 Euros. 3.1 and up - 1.500 Euros. And that is for cars 10-20 years old. For under 10 years, it is a lot more expencive. The only price break is for 20+ year old cars, where no matter how big the engine is it will cost up to 700 Euros.
When i was young ,i loved cars, now that i own them , i really hate them lol , niw that im more detailistic ,oil leaks give me sleepless nights lol
July 2021, is this a 5 cal or 6
You didn't mention electrically foldable mirrors it has!
But thanks for this very informative video, would've like to hear more in detail about the engine issues and cost of fixing them!
I dont know what's the problem with your car, but there is absolutely no sound from the interior, and you should've get the full options version, with 3.0 tdi, leather saloon, colour display with navi radio!!!
Perfect car!!!
I don’t know why he’s complaining. He has the most basic version of the interior and complains it’s cheap, just get one with the bigger engine and it will be really luxurious.
Had ours 13 yrs been to Barcelona 6 times from UK great motor just not a race car...
I have the same
Do a review of Mercedes w211 e220cdi for us Balkans😅
In 2002 I had the choice of buying a new Corolla or a new Ibiza TDI 130. I knew the Ibiza would give me much more trouble. So I did the most logical thing:
I bought the Ibiza.
Does it have pneumatic suspension?
It's optional, some tuaregs have it
Dude i swear i'm not drunk but the bugattis headlight look exactly the same 😧
Rakhatsz bele Mobil 1 5w30 esp , its aprovved es jobb mint o.e olaj , en szemelyesen Swag 5w30 LL plus hasznalok minden automba , isteni ...
when you said brakes are weak, i thought: yours are weak, they need maintenance. old car's braking system gets weal, the pedal becomes numb, it's sinks more, and doesn't stop as powerfully as before
9:05 Same problem with my D3 Audi A8, all the buttons around the gear shifter, climate control area, and door locks are starting to peel; this reveals the white plastic behind the button which just looks awful. Also somehow the previous owner managed to break the electric parking break release, the chrome tip of the button has been pulled off leaving behind this half-open electric parking brake release.
Gta San Andreas mission complete
Do the Mk7 Golf!
Stolen from Titanic. The break rotors. Hahahaha
Stage 1 remap
Are from finland?
Slovakia
He has a bit similar accent indeed!
Imagine owning a V10 TDI Touareg...
Basically every task under the bonnet is engine off job! 😂
That's 2 of these engines put together lol
Unde are bateria
Different grand theft auto review
Why arent there any french cars lol
You're hilarious.. LOL
You want a luxury car for 3000€ poor man 🤣🤣🤣 go to buy a Fiat Panda 1.2 for 3k €..
Why would we want to drive poverty shitboxes all our lives? Used cars are good, so poor people can enjoy proper cars, not just the rich people.
Lol 😂🤣🤣
what happened to you, man? Why did you decide it is a good idea to start swearing so much in your reviews? They became repulsive to watch.
If you have any VW with a DSG and you can start to feel or notice your gear changes, take it for a gearbox service. It's only a few hundred dollars and the gearbox will shift like new again, seamlessly and right when you ask it to. The gearboxes on those things can and do fail if they're not maintained. One of the first signs it's beginning to fail is sluggish gear changes.
