Starts fine even in -4F weather. Will probably swap it this year with another OE battery as oddly i have better luck with OE batteries and they tend to be cheaper than Autozone/Orielys/Advanced.
Continental terrain contacts performed amazingly on my vw Touareg. Took them to Moab regularly and lived in summit county Colorado. So they saw plenty of slick rock and snow. Not the best cold weather tire, but one of the best all terrains in cold weather. Way better winter performance than my ko2s.
Replace OEM Sport Suspension with OEM standard Springs, new Bilstein B4 Shocks - $1500
I switched to Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on our 17 Touareg, night and day from stock. They’re expensive, but worth it.
I'll say that I used to insist on Continentals on my VWs, but when they weren't available for my former Touareg, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 was highly recommended and I felt I was settling, but took them as they were what was available. Then I found that there was magic about those tires! In all my life I had never driven a vehicle that performed as my Touareg did with those Cross Climates. I even had a long time VW friend drive it and he said that it felt as if the Touareg was floating down the highway. The tires were perfectly quiet
Glad you used lock tools. You could always reinstall tools to check. But if pin was in crank and bar installed hard to screw that one up for belt.
VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service
At the moment we have K02's on our van year round and G015's as winter tires for the Touareg. Both do their job in snow and the occasional mud at the trail head. At the time I got the K02's because they look more bad ass. They are overkill for me and are loud and getting louder as they wear.
I owned one for about a year. Loved the car, wish I could have kept it. That being said, it was only in drivable condition for about half the time I owned it. I replaced the alternator, fixed the air suspension, redid some vacuum lines, tried to repair the front diff, and that's where I gave up.
I have them on our vdub touareg and have had to rebuild them twice due to pistons seizing.
