Gotta love the new VW Touaregs.....
Well one of my friends is a VW mechanic and he told me some very interesting facts about the Touareg....
First of all: When you turn the ignition switch to "start" it doesn't actually engage the starter solenoid. It actually sends a request to the computer to crank the engine....the engine will crank itself for up to 30 second till it gives up.
You need an engine lift to take out the seats...they are that heavy.
He had to replace the starter on one....you have to pull the engine on it to replace it. He say it will be about a $4000 total bill for labor and parts to replace the starter.
He also said your probably gonna see lots of them in junkyards due to the labor on them is so costly for such simple things.
