What Owners Say
"My 3.0 liter TDI diesel is part of the VW diesel emissions scandal. Being a later model (2014), it appears I won't get a buy back from VW. I might be screwed!"
Brian A., AZ (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"the EGR cooler went bad."
John S., CA (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Recall as part of emissions scandal; the fix they applied was reasonable; we've noticed only a mild decrease in fuel economy, no discernible effect on acceleration/performance, and an increase in DEF consumption. VW+Bosch (cash) settlement terms were acceptable and the process was relatively painless."
Anonymous, WA (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"VW diesel emission fraud problem. Since they fixed it, the engine often hesitates and sputters. Local dealer says this is a common problem and that it cannot be fixed."
Jerry M., IL (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"The EPA approved fix for the TDI resulted in hesitation on starting from a stop, fuel mileage dropped by 15-20% and eliminated one of the two driving modes. No one has checked back with the consumer to see if they received the fix that they agreed to accept."
Dennis F., OR (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"this vehicle was part of the emission cheating scandal by VW."
Ronald C., NH (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Diesel Touareg part of the VW recall. Now fixed and recall settlement received from both VW and Bosch. Dealers were not prepared to complete the fix in a timely manner. Allegedly, the dealers had to share a piece of equipment making scheduling a problem."
Anonymous, FL (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Repaired under warranty."
Anonymous, VA (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Purchased it based on CR and EPA endorsements even though vehicles like it were not in compliance with the law and the warrantee. The Class Action settlement compromised the consumer to the advantage of the state and federal government. VW no longer sells this vehicle in the US. I was stuck with it after 24 months of waiting for the Justice Dept to complete the whole affair."
Dennis F., OR (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Recall for high diesel emissions, required 2 days at dealer for recall, no out of pocket expense"
Anonymous, CO (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"would take for ever to indicate a full tank"
Anonymous, BC (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Low fluid indicators have been a problem for years. Dealer staff says some are bad sensors. Replaced washer fluid sensor. Oil warning light frequent issue, but they tell us oil not leaking - no explanation about why we have had to add oil between regular oil changes."
Anonymous, PA (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Sensor needed replacing. Caused CEL"
Anonymous, MN (2014 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0-L V6 diesel)"Repaired under warranty."
