[@TFLclassics]

Check out the auction HERE: tflbids.com/vehicles/2004-volkswagen-touareg-v8/

[@twentyvalveb5]

Wow, $9100! Glad to see you guys made a nice chunk on that, and thank you for increasing the value on these as I have two 7L V8 Touaregs with air suspension and rear lockers, in the same color as yours, as well. I get "No way that thing does well off-road" and "no way that thing tows an enclosed race trailer" regularly. At least now I can point to your channel for documenting how they can handle pretty gnarly trails better than I could.

[@jatreat]

If you buy the V10, that would be good. Going to miss the Touareg content in the meantime.

[@zzzgarage2704]

the v10 might break their bank at the first place tho

[@jatreat]

@@zzzgarage2704 Well any used car during this market could break the bank…but I’m seeing them getting listed and sold under 10k, so considering they just dropped stupid money on a that mickey d’d colored bronco, I’d guess they can afford 10k…especially given the revenue off the content it will generate.

[@Dickusification]

The V10 will result in rapid wallet drain and an engine out job to fix just about anything

[@jatreat]

@@Dickusification I’ve had 2…neither drained my wallet. Spread your hyperbole elsewhere.

[@Brayco864]

Darkside Developments in the UK have a V10 off-road car that’s now been highly modified for primarily used off-road. Engine has been very reliable I believe

[@billwaterhouse5894]

Hey Tommy, sorry to see her go. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the GREAT TFL content on this vehicle that refused to let us down

[@andyarchitect]

Aww... its my favourite in your shows... will be missed

[@janniss6401]

I will definitely miss the Touareg content. But I‘m going to be very excited if and when you get a V10 TDI

[@pduffy83usa]

My mom has a TDI touareg, she can get 29mpg on the highway!

[@xziang]

Just hope something doesn't go wrong with that engjne. PITA to work on in the vehicle. Thought about one but scary scary if something goes wrong. Still a sweet vehicle though.

[@pduffy83usa]

@@xziang She's had no issues with it since she bought it in 2014 or 2015.

[@YewtBoot]

@@xziang My TDI has been trouble free as well.

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@xziang TDI comes in 3 flavors. 3.0 V6, 2.5 V5, and 5.0 V10. Only the V10 is a PITA to work on. I have the latter but it has been relatively trouble free. The reason is that the V10 and V5 are gear driven (not chain/belt driven) and you never have to change a timing belt/chain.

[@rosenevil74]

I first discovered TFL by watching Touareg off-road comparison videos. I'm sad to see it leaving the fleet.

[@upshifter5316]

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this day! Loved this series.

[@upshifter5316]

People , Don bid on this… soo unreliable… don’t get a lemon… VWs are so expensive to maintain… blah blah blah.. Just let me have it without a bidding war damnit!!

[@snapforth]

@8:23 - Also goes into recirculation mode when in reverse to prevent exhaust gases entering the cabin.

[@johna5563]

Sad to see it go! This vehicle has provided a lot of great content and has been amazing! I went through a really rough time in 2019/2020 and watching the series on this car was something I looked forward too and helped get myself out of where I was, even if temporarily! Thank you guys, TFL and thank you VW. So many memories with you guys and this SUV!

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Would love to see you guys get a Phaeton and test it on TFL Car.

[@BigMike_6872]

Congrats on your new Wrangler Tommy! Tacoma would’ve been another good choice for you, but watching the videos, you are truly a Jeep guy.

[@uniquehomes9903]

I just bought a 04 v6 touareg and yours is much nicer. I have alot of questions? Thanks for the content I will be watching. Just found your page.

[@mariodagostino6401]

Owned a 2014 touareg vr6 for 6 years, once got around 90k miles, engine temp sensors went crazy and no one could fix it at a reasonable cost: no check engine ever, just the engine temp indicator going to 260 degrees

[@brianmoore4778]

I have two V8 Touaregs. 2004 air suspension model, 2006 steel springs suspension with 2 in lift. Owned 3 land cruisers before as well as land Rover and Mitsubishi Montero SR. Touareg best overall. Lr3 HD HSE model best off-road.

[@stephenjones6902]

Great video disagree I like the shape and style,I have the later TDI model and love it

[@bryan1480]

What a sleeper off-roader! It's been fun to see its capability in your vids. Somebody's going to get a cool ride...

[@greathornedowl3644]

Thanks Tommy, love the Touareg, size, and durability, but gas mileage has always hindered.

[@anzew88]

Please do get the V10. I'm daily driving a V10 Phaeton and I love it. It does demand a lot of love, but it's not that terrible at reliability. I have issues with the ZF transmission, but Touaregs have a different unit. Just be sure to get one in good condition, because sloppy maintenance can destroy the engine in the long run.

[@trabertgraneau3323]

The Touareg has served TFL well. It will be missed. 😭😭

[@UltraFence]

I more than doubled my money on my 1st Gen air suspension Touareg TDi and then bought another one after diesel-gate. Then another Gen 2 - 2011 Diesel, which is low mileage, but NOT as good or advanced as the 2010 Gen 1s.

[@Land_Raver]

I've always told people that the Touareg is the best car I've ever owned. It could do everything well and was comfortable and reliable. Still want to buy another one day soon.

[@conradpaul489]

I think it is a very beautiful car. Much better than the T2 T3 or whatever they have now. Going to miss it and I wish I could get it .... Looking forward to the V10

[@andrewgraves6198]

The Touareg design is beautiful, how dare you 😂

[@noahmcdaniel4920]

I was going to say you guys have to get a V10 when there's "room" again. Good to see we're on the same page.

[@noahmcdaniel4920]

I couldn't disagree more that it's ugly. I prefer the T2's which I think are extremely handsome and muscular, but the T1's are not ugly! They have a classy, modest look to them. Whether from the front or back the thing's look cool as hell and look athletic.

[@HoosierDaddy_]

That old VW has been great to follow on this channel. It has surprised me in every off road test. She'll be missed!

[@Ben-de4fu]

Hi Tommy, I am a Touareg owner from India, I will certainly miss your content. Me and my Dad love your content. Its sad to know that you are selling such a Masterpiece ! We await to see the V10 🙂 God bless....

[@davidd3347]

Colorado vehicle with hail damage is typical. I think the fenders are SMC, that is why they show no damage.

[@LarryRichelli]

To me it funny that with the new bronco being delivered that you ordered a jeep, of course Tommy is such a kid still, it doesn't surprise me.

[@pduffy83usa]

V10, sweet!!!

[@cars9716]

Even more over engineered is the 2004 Cayenne, it has 5 heated seat settings front and rear.

[@ErikTaraldsen]

Sad to see it go. And I don’t think you’ll get an upgrade if you go for the V10. As I understand it, that engine is an extremely tight fit. Getting work done on them is very expensive.

[@badgerpa9]

Tommy maybe who ever buys it will bring it around for you to visit it once in a while.

[@kukloktv2159]

I am really surprised with your opinion. Here in europe they have bad opinions for it's unreliability. Thank you for the video. Regards 👍

[@sunsetgarage755]

Europe is actually quite a large land mass with many different countries. Do yo7 perhaps think your sweeping statement could be slightly more specific? Because bedsides it’s vagueness, it’s also just incorrect.

[@robertyoung8289]

If it has no check engine light then the bulb has to be blown out! 🤠

[@davidpackphoto]

Sad to see it go. I'll be watching the sale if this since I have the same one but a 2005.

[@M.Ziz-66]

hey TFL, does your touareg has 'disconnect sway bar' option/feature?

[@stefanbekan1298]

I feels so sad as if I'm selling it. You gotta do what you gotta do Tommy.

Keyless entry was an option? It was standard equipment on my mother's 2002 Golf which cost quite a bit less than that

[@andyfleming4441]

I'm pretty sure it's standard, I have a pretty low specced 04 Touareg and it has keyless entry

[@drivewaygarage1561]

I just saw one for sale, I'm going to try to buy it.

[@JDLNYC]

Mistake to sell it. Most electrical issues are just low battery. People don’t understand this car for the statement VW made that they could build a better G wagon with on road dynamics. Only major fail is the soft touch interior which if someone has a fix please let me know.

[@Dickusification]

My V8 sucked battery but I just kept a start pack available

[@minivanmaster]

Two bids on this bad boy, what a shame. You got a good deal, buyer! A tough and powerful stealthy SUV! I wish it was 2004 again!

[@hanzkranz1319]

I think about the Design in the opposite way. I think it is really beautiful. 10 out of 10.

[@ColeSpolaric]

Buying a V10 is the worst idea. You have to drop the engine to change the alternator. Or remove the entire front end, radiator, and cooling fans. Either way, you pay 💰💰💰

[@anthonyfarnan5935]

Agreed. They are pointless. The VW V6 TDI or V8 TDI is all you’ll ever need.

[@Dickusification]

I’ve been very surprised how well that thing held up. My wife had an Audi and it was just awful. VAG is usually very unreliable. Which wrangler are you getting?

[@kukloktv2159]

Back in the days they used to be quite reliable. Nowadays they have lot of issues, especially with their transmissions.

Tommy, when are you spilling the beans on your wrangler order?

[@Johnnysallas]

how much did you let her go for?

[@cheapskategarage7945]

I think you're making a mistake selling the Touareg. It's what drew me to your channel. There's not a lot (or enough) content on them. I didn't watch many of your videos but I never miss an episode with the Touareg. You mentioned you might get a V10 Touareg down the road. I've got an '06 that my wife wants me to get rid of. Just putting it out there for when the time comes.

[@anthonyc1883]

A V-10 TDI Touareg coming?? Wow!!

[@LukeEdward]

You’re keeping the Ford F-150 with broken AC, and selling the Touareg that has brought you so many great memories and is just…great. And then the topper that you’re actively looking for the V10 version even though TFL is not a “repair channel” per se, and that V10 will bring you an equivalent number of heartaches and wallet draining circumstances as this 4.2L V8 version has brought you joy. This disappoints me. I hope you get out of it, something close to the greatness you have in it. At least a few dollars and increased KZbin clicks will help soften the inevitable sting of regret in the years to come. Because as many will tell you, a man/woman who chooses practically over his/her heart, will wander with a wanton heart.

[@ShukenFlash]

No, not the Tough T. So sad to see it go

[@dB_944]

[@Herr_Suhl]

Lots of evil stuff going on at TFL these days: First a lowrider Benz, then the Touareg is out. Dare I ask what's next?

[@shitloveaduck]

The Benz is actually one of Kase’s personal vehicles. I really liked that car! I’m 57 and think there’s nothing wrong with putting a few modern touches on some of the older vehicles. I believe there’s a limit, but I though Kase did a great job there and didn’t go too far at all. As an example, I have a 1967 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed. I am the 3rd owner, the second owner had it a long time. All the documentation is there for the day the car was purchased. The car has just over 80,000 miles on it and is original down to the rims. Tires are BFG TAs currently, but everything else is true to the car. Any parts replaced were with factory parts and generally NOS when available. THIS car is to be left stock! As a survivor it will have its best value and generally you will get back what you put into it. I also have a 1967 Mustang 2+2 or fastback. I bought it as the body only. No suspension, nothing. It was on the rotisserie still. All of the bodywork was done and I chose the paint colour as the car was in primer. The shop that did the work were stiffed by the client so they were getting what they could, back. It was complete as far as the original hood, fenders, inner liners etc., dash, no gauges. All metal. If you were to look at it now you would say it was a GT with a 302. The original car was a 390 car, but I’m not a fan so I did some “designing”. Under the hood it looks just like a GT car with a Cobra dress up kit on it. In fact the 302 is a mild crate motor, 330 hp, 365 lb ft of torque. Maybe a little more due to the more open exhaust and Edelbrock fuel injection. The car has Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes. It runs on 17” Magnum 500 wheels and a set of 15” Cragar SS as well, depending on how I want to show it. Modern bushings, shocks and factory ride height. There are certain things that have been modernized for daily use and safer driving. I. Took liberties with the power train, it had a 4 speed automatic in it, just limited slip in the back, the interior is done as stock with the full console, the stereo looks vintage but is not, no sub, but high quality speakers and amp to keep thing clear and loud. The car is much quieter than stock as there’s extensive use of sound matting inside. All simple stuff, except tuning the fuel injection mind you,,,,,, hahaha. Some you mess with because they will never be true classics and you take liberties with and modernize them to your tastes. Other cars need to be left alone. If it’s your car and you chose to mess with a classic, it’s your choice, but I’d you want your money back, you do all the work yourself (as I generally do with limits), and ho big or go home,,,,,,,,,. It has to be really special to demand the money you will need to get to just cover your costs. A lifetime of owning stock & custom classic trucks teaches you that!! I just started getting into cars in my retirement. 45 trucks & 3 cars so far and counting!!
