Volkswagen Touareg 2011 Problems

You need to persist with the dealer and VW, and perhaps consult an independent mechanic who specializes in VWs and can assess it for you, and perhaps back your claim. If that fails to nudge VW into action consider action through the consumer affairs people.

The 2011 R-Line package for the Touareg included plenty of extra kit, so identifying one shouldn’t be a problem. Those extras started with a body kit with a deeper front spoiler, side skirts and a rear roof spoiler. The R-Line package also extended to 20-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, look for stainless-steel kick panels inside each door, a different steering wheel, lots of leather, aluminium gear-selector and pedals and a 12-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat.

Cooper makes tyres with tread patterns to suit highway use and others to suit offroad use with more aggressive tread patterns that can be noisy if used on the highway. There are plenty of choices available for an alternative tyre, just make sure the tread pattern is one that’s designed for the highway.
