Exploring the 2005 Volkswagen Touareg V6: A Comprehensive Review and Test Drive

[@thetruthfacts7272]

Let me state the obvious. Love seeing a brotha stepping into informative car videos! You're the Eminem of car tutorials lol

[@keltechindustries20901]

The truth Facts thanks that means a lot. I have another video that I am in the works of making so stay tuned.

[@thetruthfacts7272]

@@keltechindustries20901 Nice. I found you doing some research on the touareg v10TDI. How's your vr6 running?

[@keltechindustries20901]

The truth Facts it’s running very well I just recently installed new from pads and rotors. But overall it’s a blast to drive.

[@benkoontz3004]

Thanks for this great review I just purchased this same year and model for my 20 year old daughter I know this will be a reliable vehicle for her

[@yerdauletzhenisbek4818]

i wanna buy a Touareg tomorrow,this video is very helpfully!feel like I’m ready to checkout!thank you!

[@jamentomerane7482]

Where?

[@declan1962]

I drive an 06 3.2. Mine is a Sport model. i don't think the v6 3.2 was officially imported to UK. Love it. Can do everything asked of it. Mine had an LPG conversion so gives equivalent of 40mpg.

[@uniquehomes9903]

Just bought a 2004 V6 thanks for the video. Definitely a project worth working on.

[@GARAGE_DAILYS]

KEEP UP THE COOL VIDEOS MY BRO! I GOT A V8 T1 104,000 MILES AND GOING STRONG. THIS CAR FEELS LIKE YOU ARE FYING A JET. BADASS. ANYWAYS GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO.

[@SSPDIVING]

These are dirt cheap right now and I want a comfortable SUV. Seems like a great solution, thanks!

[@cezar88is]

Actually... 4.2 V8 is much More reliable than 3.2. V8 has timing belt that you have to repleace every 80 000 miles and it has no issues. V8 is much More powerfull . I only recommend V8 version

[@niquemarshall]

yeah, and the 3.2 has a chain. no cam belt to worry about

[@carlanthony3684]

Very informative my bro keep it coming

[@kurjan1]

Hey man, great video. Ive owned my Touareg V6 Petrol since nw 2004... Just can't bring myself to sell her. Best car Ive owned, ever. All the problems you mentioned are spot on... And... here in Australia, the prices for the T1's V6 petrol, R50's and v10's are starting to creep up in price. I have had a number of random people approach me at fuel stations asking about the car.

[@makepistat]

How's the fuel consumption? A V6 engine seems to be heavy on consumption

[@miguelkim6715]

Great video. Very informative. I am planning to get one myself 2009 model. Hope all is good with yours. Only noticed right now that the video was from 2018.

[@keltechindustries20901]

Miguel, I am sorry to inform you that I no longer have this Vehicle. I was made an offer and I took it.

[@aleeexxx9]

Hello Miguel! Im going to get a 2007 - 2010 Touareg V6, if you still searching we can talk about it!

[@richardremi]

Great video, I myself have been looking to get a T2 with the 3.6 VR6.

[@rmzinc.5730]

Good information and very nice video!! 👍🏼

[@olivercheruiyot]

Thanks for this. planning to buy a V6 3 litre petrol. This review was an eye opener.

[@hamyncheese]

I've been considering a 2005 V8 for the extra HP. I've heard that the VR6 is a little on the unimpressive side. I have a 2002 eurovan with vr6 and I like it well enough, but I'm not convinced I'm going to prefer towing 7700 lbs with one

[@olivercheruiyot]

Oops I actually bought a land cruiser instead. 😢

[@mzwandilenzimande4621]

I sold my 2004 TDi in 2017, It gave me tons of trouble and I got tired of defending it. Be sure to get yourself an ElsaWin repair manual.

[@keltechindustries20901]

Mzwandile Nzimande I already have a Elsawin repair manual. But I understand why you sold it. The V10 is no joke when it comes to maintenance.

[@Arts-300]

Great presentation bro !

[@chrisredwood7988]

COSIGN! Agree with 98% of what you mention in this video. I also have a 2005 T1. The brake vacuum hoses are definitely problematic with splits and age. I almost crashed in mine pulling out of a parking lot because the brake hose separated. But easy to replace with patience. Would love to swap stories and knowledge if you are ever in the DMV area.

[@keltechindustries20901]

Chris Redwood definitely... I am from the DMV area. Maybe we could do a Collaboration someday.

[@BronwynVlogs]

I just bought a 07 v6 Touareg I have a fuel pressure regulator issue that is horrible to fix but never the less I love my Touareg did or do you know of the cam sensor code ? I have a bank 1 code I replaced my sensor yet the code is still alive and hunting me 😂

[@MegaE46]

Those wheels look perfect 👌

[@keltechindustries20901]

MegaE46 thanks.

[@baudiliobetancourtgirotto7992]

hi Thanks for your video, I have the opportunity to buy one of this with 200k miles and the price is 2,800 interior is like new, but I don't know I have the idea that European cars are expensive mantenance. what do you recomend me?

[@keltechindustries20901]

Baudilio Betancourt Girotto you are very welcome. And as I stated in the video. I would recommend the Vr6 model. Parts are a lot cheaper and reliability is better than the V8 and the V10.

[@victorwaag7934]

To correct 1 thing. The bigger rims on any vehicle PERIOD takes away from the driving performance of the vehicle do to pulling from uneven roads. If you have bigger than 19 in rims your going to have issues regardless of how much they just cost you ! #Facts

[@keltechindustries20901]

Yes sir you are absolutely correct. But for me speaking on my behalf of the vehicle it was a smoother ride. Yes you lose performance but this vehicle was not used for its performance.

[@koopakoop]

I came here to post this. 22 inches on a v6 is a bit ridiculous IN MY OPINION, but to each his own after all

[@sultansofswing7]

Good day! very informative video i must say. I was curious, did you ever experience the issues with the splice wires like most Touareg owners faced as well or never? I agree 100% with you they're really good comfortable cars

[@keltechindustries20901]

No I never have experienced splices.

[@trusty099]

That's one sick ride dude...

[@Jeremy3d-DR]

Hey, brother nice excellent video. Where I can get the radio just like yours? can you share the link, please? I have a 2005 Treg just like yours. same color, same engine. it's just amazing.

[@keltechindustries20901]

Thank you bro I appreciate you tell me that. Well, I purchased my radio from Amazon, it was a great radio navigation works great. Enjoy the Touareg bro, I wished I kept mines because I have bigger family now, but it still one of my favorite SUV’s.

[@Goldenrod636]

So I have a question about the compass in the clock if you are still active on KZbin or have the car. Does the compass only come on when the car is on or is there a button you have to press to make it display?

[@keltechindustries20901]

I don’t have the Touareg anymore but I do know that the compass really comes on when you are driving and when it’s off it turns to the clock

[@joncazzettes4573]

Nice track triple OG!

[@MrPeach18]

3.2 petrol has metal timing chain so never need changing

[@keltechindustries20901]

Yes it does the chain will stretch.

[@solomonsapp]

I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on an 05 v6 with 122,000 miles for $2100 . I think it’s worth it

[@keltechindustries20901]

Sorry for the delay, but did you get it ?

[@Luparttwo]

Can you link the replacement center system you got or a similar one?

[@keltechindustries20901]

Don’t understand the question

[@nebagodwillawantu3309]

I have an issue with my Touareg 2005, VR V6 model. It doesn't want high speed. When you engage on high speed, it makes a loud sound behind as if the car has been hit from behind. Dont know what the problem could be. Has anyone faced such a situation before?

[@keltechindustries20901]

Neba Godwill Awantu sounds like a rear diff problem.

[@Trucker2083]

I'm looking at 2007 v6 only 58000 miles in very good condition they asking 8700 is it too much for this vehicle nowadays ?

[@keltechindustries20901]

That’s a great price for a 2007. You should definitely get a Carfax report to make sure it has a clean title and no serious accidents.

[@konukonu6368]

Excellent, easy to understand very informative insight into the Touareg. You didn't say how many miles your one has as that's a good indication of long-term durability and build quality. Can these vehicles easily do 200k miles, I am in Europe and the 2.5 and 3.0 easily on all original components can hit 200k miles.

[@keltechindustries20901]

Konu Konu hey thank you very much for the compliment. It currently has 151,000 miles.

[@suhailahmed4449]

Do u still have it or have u sold it?

[@keltechindustries20901]

Sorry but unfortunately I sold it.

[@thongdykhamta7382]

Do u think it is reliable to drive from Ct to Cali

[@keltechindustries20901]

Well if it is in good driving condition. Meaning, if you have been driving for about a week and you had no issues, then I don’t see why not. When I took my first trip(200 miles) I was nervous but it got us there and back with no issues.

[@thongdykhamta7382]

@@keltechindustries20901 thanks for the input. Im gonna grab an 05 with 115k miles for 600buck. Can't go wrong with that but i know i have to fix something on it like the abs. Ill just probably remove the abs fuse for now but hopefully nothing too bad with motor. Buying from a buddy. I just wanna get it running so i can make it to Cali. As long as oil is change, plugs are new, maybe change trans fluid and coolant. Air filter and gas filter it should be smooth sailing. Thanks again
