VW Touareg

Tuaregs are a West African cultural group.

Reverse the car into a pillar at a shopping centre, aiming for the handle.

Under the drivers seat. OK, let's add to this...

It's a tad more complicated. There are two plastic covers at the front of the seat on the floor. You need to lift both of them up. That exposes a fastener that will require a 10mm "triple square" male tool. This is similar to the familiar Torx (6 point star) fastener except it has 12 points instead of 6 points. This tool is available at many auto supply places, without it, you will NOT replace the battery. Remove both screws (they're TIGHT!!!), remove the plastic trim pieces from the rear of the seat slide assembly (carefully snap off) Tilt the seat back all the way forward, slide the seat forward almost all the way but leave space to miss the steering wheel. Now push back on the seat back and the entire seat will tilt to the rear exposing the battery box under the drivers seat. There are four clips that hold the cover on, unhook them, remove the torx screw holding the heater deflector to the battery box lid, remove the wire tie holding the wire to the top of the box and remove the box cover. Now you see the battery. Remove the gas vent plastic pipe from the front, remove the metal cover at the front left corner (10mm socket) it will not come out until you remove the (-) cable but don't just yet. remove the side clamp (10mm socket) and the battery is loose and free. It would be smart (but not required) to provide a 12 volt electrical source to the battery terminals as you replace the battery to help keep all of the radio GPS etc, settings. Remove the terminals, lift out the battery. Now reinstall it all the opposite of how you removed it. I believe VW hired a team of engineers for a year to design the HARDEST battery replacement system that anyone could devise!!! Dave

The 2010 Volkswagen Touareg's engine produces 266 ft-lbs. @ 2500 rpm.

Push the dome override button in and out twice. After the second time you will hear a bell. The lights should then be controlled by the off/parking/headlights switch. You will have to do this every time you turn the car on. Hope it works for you!!

The 2013 Volkswagen Touareg has a 9 ft. 5.9 in. (113.9 in.) wheel base.

There is a diag port on the panel below the steering column. Any OBDII reader can get the generic codes, but the special VW codes can only be read with a VAS5052 or VAG-COM software.

mostly camels milk

A Tiptronic gearbox is slightly like a normal manual gearbox but with one difference. The gearbox lever can only go foreword (down a gear) or downward (up a gear). If you watch the BTCC or Le Mans in the GT1, 2 or 3 class, you will understand what I am talking about.

The curb weight of the 2012 Volkswagen Touareg is 4711 lbs..

To replace t starter on a V8 Touareg, the engine must be removed. It is not something most people would be willing to tackle on their own.

The 2014 Volkswagen Touareg runs on premium unleaded (recommended).

They go to town and kill people to get it

There is a set of tools located in the spare tire area. There is a tool that looks like a long socket with a pivoting "T" handle on it. Look under the hood just behind where the head light assembly is located and you will see a set of gears with a bolt head sticking out. The T-handle tool is used to unlock and push out the headlamp assembly. Same on the left hand side. Check on the VW Vortex web site forums.vwvortex.com for a full procedure with photos.

Absolutely. We had the engine light go on, on two consecutive trips to do maintenance and oil changes to our 2004 Touareg here in NM, were told to ignore the message, it didn't mean anything, and 3 days later the engine blew. They said it was because the engine was oil-poor, even though the oil dipstick always showed full, even when the engine blew.

Volswagen Corp and the dealer will take no responsibility for this car - they say it's just a design flaw they're not responsible for!

Try that on in the middle of a recession and being unemployed!

The 2010 Volkswagen Touareg's engine produces 280 hp @ 6200 rpm.

I don't believe there is a way to turn them off permanently unless you were to somehow reprogram the computer to turn them off by installing a chip specifically designed for that. I do know that the DRL's on a VW Golf/Rabbit can be temporarily turned off if you engage the parking brake, so this should work with the Touareg as well, just don't engage it while driving.

The 2014 Volkswagen Touareg has 41.4 in. of front leg room.
