2004 V10 Battery Draining Issue - Club Touareg Forums

Connect a voltmeter to it and you will find out - most modern cars use smart alternators for fuel savings .

Don't care what your car is belching out behind you ? You bought a perfect car :-)

I 've noticed that South Africa is the place where expertise on bakkies are - their car mags seems to put cars through paces and publish results as they are - OZ mags seem to brush up the numbers for...

Not sure about Ranger but 550 sits on 8.5 /100 on mix of city driving and busy freeway runs . For the performance and the size of the car fuel economy is outstanding. Main reason is that engine...

Ranger is 10.2s 0-100 vs 10.9s for Amarok Auto ...DC cab is not the right format for a performance car , i do agree but i did find manual Amarok too slow for even a DC ute. Just my opinion.
I ended...

It was always on the cards as 2.0 4cyl diesel is really not suitable for a ute of Amaroks size and towing capacity. That is if you like a bit of performance , if you dont care about performance then...

Struggling to maintain traction ? :-)

I see Unimog on 4wd tracks all the time :-) about as common and affordable as a pinzgauer i used to drive ....

VW Amarok 2.0 TDI 163 HP 4Motion test (0-100 km/s, 100-0 km/s) - YouTube

I guess V6 TDI would be a next logical step ?

As i said it depends on your build and taste in seats - i suffer in heavily sculpted , supportive seats. I like 'em wide and flat :-)

Using your logic US And Russians manufacture the best seats as germans surrendered to them :-)

Seats are a personal thing and i do feel much more comfortable in Navara seats. Not saying that...

I agree with power and chassis to exploit it comment but i 've lost count of how many times i get "beaten" at the lights or mountain passes by much slower cars (when driving my 8 ) as i am not...

Golf diesel quicker then SS ute ? You could see his white knuckles 300m away :-) I would say he was just playing with you :-)
German engineers are good but i think you are a bit brainwashed with...

In the meantime i ve test driven Navara ST-X 550 - this is what Amarok should have as an option - auto 3.0 tdi from Touareg - 550 is much different to drive to both Hilux and Amarok. They are pricy...

First of all thank you Sam for opportunity to drive your Amarok - it is a great vehicle - nice interior , ride ,quality . If anyone is looking to buy a VW you could do much worse then talk to Sam :-)...

I am waiting for Ranger to be released too but for different reasons (current Hilux owner) - i want extra cab and prefer larger displacement engine.

And it will cost $1500 labour and $300 parts :-) for 3 hour job

Offer to Drag him down the quarter on a dragstrip and pocket some $$ :-)

I looked at this Amarok today. First thing that strikes you is exterior size - it is large vehicle.
Interior space and presentation are class above the competitors. Pity they dont make extra cabs ,...

It was always going to be expensive. It is recreational ute not a workhorse and it carries VW badge.
Some good utes are soon to be released - ranger bt 50 twin and hilux facelift ...

+1 worked Tiguan or any run of the mill car Does not compare with a thoroughbred sports car. It is more a case of emotional attachment in your case.

Sounds good :-)

Dead level from the lights to what speed ? Golf diesel is 9s 0-100 . SV6 is mid 7's.
