@@moogle68 The only such reliability issues (that can leave you stranded) these face (along with the Cayennes) have to do with the drive shaft center support and the rubber that disintegrates about every 80K kms. Mine did just that but there are many DYI and commercial solutions to address this (even on the trail). I chose the DYI route and after about a year everything's fine. The V10 has been with me for the past 10 years and it never asked for anything than regular maintenance. Remember, these engines don't even have drive belts in there. Nor timing chains (V10s and R5s not the rest of the Touareg models). Everything is driven with gears (apart from a very short and very wide and robust belt on the alternator that sits on top and at the back of the engine, in the "V" of the V10). That's it. Of course they are not as rugged as an old Land Cruiser or an old-school Defender but they will surprise you with their abilities. I used to own a highly tweaked K5 Blazer, lifted and suped-up and the Touareg has outperformed it in every single aspect apart perhaps from ground clearance. My V10 is standard. Not modded at all. P.S. The only real inmportant thing you need to be aware of with these is which oil you use. 5W40 and 501.01 for non-DPF models (like mine). DPF models need some 507 variant (can't remember which exactly). The 506.01 longlife oil VW has as an option resulted in premature camshaft lobe wear of the PD design.

i have a cool idea for next offroad vid for u guys , corss or a quad/atv vs a offroad car

This is amazing

The Touareg had me at the exhausts. A puff of smoke thrown straight out of both sides is just one of the coolest things you can see on an offroader. Fair play to the Disco on winning though. Never bet against an LR offroad. Both great cars to watch and another interesting match up. Can we please get rid of the silly hill descent control bit though? If you're testing what the car can do it should be fine to use HDC or the brakes. Its not like the brakes don't work if you don't have HDC in the first place and a lot of the time just the ABS can do at least as good a job. It would be nice to see a bit longer drag race aswell if there's anywhere around there with the space.
