I just saw this post. Very sad in the light of your drowned touareg.
We really do need a snorkel, or perhaps I just need to learn how to correctly apply a tarp across the grill.
V10 off road review.
Sand with road tyres and pressure.
Favorable review.

That's great. I think you're probably right in thinking there will be any number of landrover enthusiasts saying, "my Series 2 could have done that".
I haven't done any sand driving. While the...
We've joined the range rover club of victoria.
Smaller club than the Land rover club, and quite a few trips planned that we'd like to participate in.
We did our driver training (theory and...
I think this question may be directed at me. I've now tried the Pirelli Scorpions in some pretty soupy mud, which filled the tread. Still managed to go everywhere.
I chose the 235/65/17 size as...
Practical went well.
I've already posted about it here (with some pictures)

They cover the whole footwell area?
We've been covering the footwell with newspaper and throwing it out after a trip. Day to day, we don't have a mud problem.
If you want to go off road, join a 4wd club, at least until you've completed the driver training they'll all offer new members.
We just signed up to the range rover club of victoria.
Had the...
Dollar value, hard to say, everything seems expensive.
I liked the plastic boot liner when I first saw it, but as I don't have a space saver, the space under the floor of the boot is handy, and...
Welcome aboard, a lot of the touareg owners hear also use clubtouareg.com so when you've read through the forums here, check that out as well.
I have a Touareg, and it seems to have a lot of...
I'd love to get a few other Victoria drivers involved. One of the reasons I opened this thread. The other option might be to join the Victorian VW Club and then form a sub group interested in VWs and...
Erin and I went to a LROCV meeting last night.
Everyone was very friendly, but the meeting seemed quite bureaucratic, with proposals, seconding, motions etc. At one stage someone read out the...
I'll be interested to see what you think of the Air Suspension.
I recently bought a TDv6, and was tempted by the additional ground clearance.
I was put off by the price (additional $10K).
The...
Unfortunately, the meeting got moved to the 8th. A fact I didcovered after driving to Doncaster.
I'll try again next Thursday. Anyone else interested?
I've just got back from a 1000+ round trip through the Grampians.
The new Pirelli Scorpions (AT not ATR) went very well on both the highway and the dirt and rock tracks.
The track report proved...
I'm going to go to the Victorian Land Rover Club's next meeting on Thursday 1/5/08. Have a look, and think about joining it. If there are any Victorian Touareg owners about, perhaps you'd like to...
The best price I got was $330 per tyre. I belive the margin on tyres is probably 50%, so I expect I could have done better, if not for the requirement to trade in my Pirelli Rossos at a good price as...
Think I may have answered this on Club Touareg. I have a new TDv6 2008 Touareg. It has a red MFD.
I have a new 2008 T2.
The MFD is red on mine.
Most of the console lighting is red, but some of it is blue.
I'm booked in to get some Pirelli Scorpion AT's 235/65/17 on Saturday.
They are slightly thinner than the stock tyre, but supported by VW on the same 17 inch rim.
The Pirelli's score better than...
No personal experience, although I do recall that one of the first Australian reviews of the Discovery 3 (LR3), that I read, said that the air suspension failed on the test car.
I was quite...
The only accessory your likely to get from ARB is a roof rack and portable air compressor. You won't find a roo bar or snorkel.
I've ordered a TD v6, but can't comment on 'real' 4wding yet. It...
There are V6 diesels and there are V6 diesels. I suspect even if the hummer got a diesel engine (and I think the jeep Wrangler has one) it might not rival the Touareg.
My new Touareg (it's on the...
If you're looking for feedback, nice summary. Maybe you should update wikipedia?
In the engine section you might like to note the tweeks to the V6 diesel engine. Upgrades the torque to 550nm, and...
