All the engine problems, plus the wood paneling will crack if you live in MI where I do and there is extreme change of temperature. Also the radio buttons started peeling off after 8mos of ownership.
Advice to buyer:
Don't buy!
Detailed review:
I own a 2004 V6 and its beautiful and very comfortable. But my compliments stop there. In the year and a half I've owned this, I have taken this vehicle in 18 times. Now the fuel is not burning properly, which I'm told by the dealership is a common problem with all the the Touaregs. So depending on what time of the year is, be ready to be putting in different fuel. And sometimes that wont even work! In which case be prepared to have your car at the dealership for 3 weeks while they dismantle the engine to clean it out and order new parts. My car is nothing but a lemon and what is worse is that VW won't stand behind it. Horrendous! I would never recommend thisc car.
