Common issues with the imported Touareg include: 1. Poor air conditioning performance; 2. Lean fuel mixture leading to insufficient power; 3. Rough interior finish; 4. Incomplete configuration. The imported Touareg has body dimensions of 4433mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1703mm in height, with a displacement of 1984ml and a maximum power output of 125 kW. The advantages of the imported Touareg include a powerful turbocharged engine, excellent handling performance, and ample interior space. The imported Touareg inherits Volkswagen's family design features, presenting an overall appearance that is both grand and full-bodied, with a very sturdy front face and smooth lines visible from the side profile.
Friends who have driven the imported Touareg can probably relate—this car does have a few common trouble spots. The most notorious is the early third-generation EA888 engine, which has a high probability of burning oil, so it's advisable to check the oil dipstick regularly. While the DQ500 dual-clutch transmission shifts quickly, it has noticeable low-speed jerkiness, especially during 2nd to 3rd gear shifts. Many owners have also reported sunroof rattling and water leakage due to clogged drainage holes. Additionally, the electronic steering column lock module is prone to throwing fault codes, which can prevent the car from starting—this part isn't cheap. The infotainment system occasionally freezes or crashes and requires a reboot. Remember to clean the cylinder carbon deposits regularly, as this can help with oil consumption issues.
