Volkswagen Touran 1.9 tdi 2005

3 star review

I love the car, it’s fun to drive and is economical but the turbo went at 20,000 miles and the ESP light has been on for 12 months now and could cost £1300. VW should do a full recall for this ESP/ABS fault, don’t buy one until they do!

Volkswagen Touran 2.0 TDi Sport 140ps 2005

3 star review

We owned this car for 3 years. Seven seats great idea, to take the kids friends out. Good to drive. MPG great, got better as the engine loosened up, from about 25k miles onwards, push it as hard as you like and you’ll return 45mpg. We drove back from Cornwall fully loaded at 70mph and averaged 52mpg!!! Now for the BIG PROBLEM; The ABS control unit went and the ESP light came on when the car went out of warranty, VW were stating £1600 to fix. We have full VW service history and car had 48k miles. After a lot of wrangling VW paid 40% and we still ended up with a £900 bill. My advice is get rid before end of 3 year warranty.

Volkswagen Touran 2.0 TDI Sport 140 2005

4 star review

I’ve had the Touran for 3 years and covered 120k. It has had a few problems with interior plastics, wheel alignment, fuel leaking due to poor servicing at Main Dealers (3 times!); They didn’t put fuel pipe clips on properly first time followed by not tightening fuel filter cannister lid causing complete satuaration of engine compartment and 20 foot of fast lane on motorway! Thankyou to the Highways agency for cleaning that up! Would I buy another one? To be honest Ive driven the C/S-Max’s,Zaffira and Scenic and while they all have there merits it is always the VW I’d rather be driving. So the answer is yes I would but with the proviso that VW answer(satisfactory) the many complaints regarding there poor customer relationship and put an end to daft charging structures(like £28 to change a tail bulb which took 4 mins!) especailly when you have religiously followed all there servicing reommendations and handed over approx £1100 each year to keep it on the road(not inc tyres).

AVOID at all costs unless you like £1500 repair bills for the ABS unit. Google "Touran ESP Light" and you will get the gist.

Volkswagen Touran 2 TDI Sport DSG 2005

5 star review

Just ordered my second Touran. The first 1 has completed 90K trouble free miles and is still averaging 45-50mpg. The DSG gearbox is superb and having to drive the Ford S Max Auto this week the VW leaves it standing (in more ways than one). The VW’s quality interior has survived all I can throw at it and the general performance for long distance travel as well as the short city trips is every bit as good as the Audi A4 I had previously. The pleasure of this car is the quality 2L TDI matched with an excellent gearbox - If you have a choice, go for the great leather seat options, I have a back problem and if I could put the seats in my front room - I would. Now I have tempted fate, hopefully my second VW won’t be a lemon!
