Vw touran - the worlds best family vehicle

[@materialprufer1024]

Hey Nathan, Videos like this are the reason why I watch this channel. Little budget, lots of skill and top work planning. Get what you can for a limited amount of time and resources. With an unexpected result. The English and Germans are not that far apart in their attitudes 🌞 Best regards Greg

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Greg thank you I really appreciate your kind words 🙏 I do my best to help when it’s needed and not for granted and it’s makes me feel good especially when the receiver is so happy it really makes my day. Thanks again sir 👍

[@preonmodel9906]

I’m with you, we have a 2011 Touran, it really is the dogs bolloxcks. Soon going to Spain and no issues with space or comfort, fuel economy or reliability… it’s just there, looks after us , rather like a good friend. I’m sure many others will understand when they snap one up! Great video 🙏

First time watcher. We're looking at buying an mpv and were considering a Touran, and now you've convinced me. We've owned a bunch of VeeDubs already so this is perfect. Thanks!

This is one of your best vids so far pal. Super useful knowledge for the average family that needs reliable vehicle. Great tips to get on the right side of MOT tester too. That’s gold stuff mate. Keep it up

[@Badjamin]

I have to say, since buying my T6 and spending a load on my mrs's PCP motor a month I'm almost convinced to sack it off and get a Touran. You sir, are a brilliant friend. We all need a Nathan like you mate. I wish I had one as my T6 requires a little bit of a squint in places. Keep the vids comin - we love DTE TV!

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud thank you appreciate the kind words 🙏 I love the front ends on the T6’s very nice 👍 I can’t rate Vw tourans enough they are so all round good vehicles. This one definitely needed abit of squinting while looking round the paintwork 😆👍

This is crazy I've just finished having a nose on autotrader and Ebay at tourans then I tune into my new favourite KZbin channel and this video pops up! I think the universe is trying to tell me something. I hope to bump into you at a bluewater meet in the future. Great video as always.

Hey James ah man it must be a sign 👍 if I didn’t have a caddy I’d definitely have a touran 👍 I’m always at the meets bud so if you see me there come over say hi and have a chat.

[@wandango5913]

Got to admit, I had a 2006 Zafira SRI 150bhp tuned to 200 for years, preferred the look of it, it drove a lot better than when I test drove a touran, flew through the mots every year without any issues, before I bought my T5.1 Caravelle, I was set to part ex it, gave it a good clean and polish to get the maximum money for it, fell in love with it again, decided to keep it for the missus, 2 weeks after her having it, it got written off 😢 it kept her and the kids safe. It was a right mess. Saw it back on the road a couple of years later and my heart skipped a beat like bumping in to an ex girlfriend. But moved on, I’m firmly in the vw camp now and did consider a touran but she wanted something smaller, shame ready as the versatility for skip runs would’ve been better and not needing to do the skip runs in the Caravelle . Love the seat configuration of the touran. Great video again Nathan 👌🏻

[@dexymack6561]

Once again a great video .. totally agree if you take an unkempt car into a garage for any work it’s going to put the technician in a bad mood from the off.. Was hoping you’d be sliding into the touran subculture of lowering & pimping the cars the way we do our caddy’s ..maybe next time😉👍

Hey bill so I don’t like to shoot other garages down for many reasons but I don’t want to get in trouble but yes those “convenient” mot’s while you wait at said garage chain are not so convenient when you get the made up bill for random stuff you don’t need.

Hi Nath, I've had 3 common rail 2.0 TDIs, 2 of them needed nothing over 5 years and 80K miles, my T5.1 has 207k on it and has only heeded a clutch release bearing at 140k and an EGR cooler at 190k. The BiTDIs are the ones to avoid and the 2.0 TDIs made after the emissions scandal seem to be less reliable, theres always T6s on Copart with blown engines.
