The brutal German car Touareg has established itself in the Russian market as a reliable and safe crossover with high cross-country ability. During operation, it is quite demanding on the quality of the fuel being poured. Failure to comply with this rule may cause premature replacement of the injection pump or injectors. In models after 2004 onwards. the reliability of the automatic transmission and transfer case is not satisfactory - in combination with a 3.2 liter gasoline engine, the main components may not bother the owner with an unexpected failure for ten years, or even more.
