There are various ways to say the word Touareg. Volkswagen seems to have settled on a pronunciation that sounds a lot like "tour egg". Volkswagen's web site for the Touareg, which can currently be found at http://www.vw.com/touareg/mini/flash.htm has audio samples of different people saying the word Touareg.

The Touareg appears to be currently available in the following countries: UK, US, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and quite possible other counties.

In all Touaregs, the main battery is located under the driver's seat. In Touaregs with two batteries, the additional battery is located beneath the floor of the rear storage area, occupying the space that the spare tire would normally occupy.

The word Touareg is an alternate spelling of Toureg, which is a diverse group of people who share a common history and geographical area in the African Sahara. The Touareg people are known for their traditions, pride, intelligence and dignity, and the abi lity to adapt to difficult conditions. It has been said that Volkswagen choose to name the Touareg after these people because of these traits. Literally, Touareg means "Knight of the Desert" or "Free Folk" depending on who you ask.

I have dual zone climate control. Can I make the driver's side temperature knob control both zones? 5. NAV System / Radio Questions

The maintainer of this FAQ makes no claims of expertise on any subject whatsoever. Rather, he is just a curious Touareg owner and is not employed in any automotive capacity. Most of the questions in the FAQ are actual questions that have been asked on var ious online discussion boards and Usenet. The answers are researched by various means including finding answers on the internet, asking Volkswagen directly, reading relevant literature, and talking to experts when possible.

The Cayenne and Touareg share the same chassis, transmission, AWD system, suspension, windshield, doors, and some sheet metal. It should be noted that the Cayenne is more focused on paved-road conditions, whereas the Touareg was designed to be equally capable on pavement and off-road. Consequently the Porsche transmission is tuned with more rear power bias than the Touareg.

In North America, the Touareg is currently available as a 3.2-liter V6, a 4.2-liter V8, or a 5.0-liter V-10 Turbo Diesel, all with 6-speed Tiptronic transmission. Various sources have claimed that Volkswagen has either built or intended to build Touaregs with a W8 gasoline engine. The consensus now seems to indicate that Volkswagen has decided not to pursue continued use of their W8 in any vehicles, including the T ouareg.

Good questions. According to Jamie Vondruska's, article on www.vwvortex.com , the V-10 Touareg is "the one to get." It has been said that people buy horsepower, but drive torque. The V-10 TDI engine has a very high torque output. This may make the vehicle more suitable to towing, although the official towing rating is the same on all models. The higher torque output will also allow the V-10 TDI equipped Touareg to accelerate faster than the gasoline V8.

Volkswagen designed and built the Touareg to be a very capable off-road vehicle. Specifically, they benchmarked the Range Rover for its class-leading off-road performance. Further testament to VW's design goals is the inclusion of full time all wheel drive, a low-range transfer case, ABS and Traction Control that include an off-road mode of operation, available locking center and rear differentials, and an optional air susp ension with adjustable ride height.

The 6-speed automatic transmission was developed and is manufactured by Aisin Co., Ltd in Japan. Volkswagen's designation for this transmission is "09D".

All wood surfaces in the Touareg are real. Walnut, Myrtle, and Vavona wood are used depending on the configuration of the specific vehicle. Vavona is the root wood of sequoia trees. Yes. In Xenon-equipped Touaregs, the outer most lights in the Touareg's headlight assembly are high intensity discharge lamps, and are used for the low beam, the high beam, and as the daytime running lamps.

Yes, it is. First, exit the vehicle and lock it. Next, approach the rear of the vehicle and open the glass hatch. The glass hatch will only open if your key is within a few feet of the back of the vehicle. Once the rear glass hatch is open, throw your key inside the Touareg. Close the rear hatch. After a few seconds, the Touareg will re-lock the rear hatch, thus locking your key in the car.

It has been suggested that there are several repair campaigns in effect for the Touareg. One of the campaigns concerns the improper placement of the antenna used to receive signals from the remote key fob. However, owners that have had this work performed report that it doesn't help much Please send an email to the maintainer of this FAQ if you have access to official Volkswagen service bulletins or repair campaigns. Anonymity is ensured.

Touaregs with the V-10 TDI engine come equipped with two batteries, the additional one of which is normally dedicated to the engine start procedure exclusively. Some Touaregs without the V-10 TDI engine come equipped with two batteries. In these vehicles, the extra battery is always dedicated to an additional water heater. Currently, all gasoline engine Touaregs sold in the US include only one battery. All diesel engine Touaregs sold in the US have two batteries.

NavTech does supply maps to both Volkswagen for use in the Touareg's GPS and Garmin for use in their GPS units. However, it appears that NavTech has different sets of maps for different customers. The maps that NavTech supplies to Garmin are much richer than those supplied to Volkswagen. Garmin's CitySelect maps are comprehensive insofar as they include every public roadway and street in the United States. The Touareg's maps lack many streets a nd points of interest in non-metropolitan areas.

It is possible that by using an auxiliary audio/video adapter, you can attach a DVD player to the Touareg's NAV system.

In case this isn't really everything you would like to know, you might try a search at our favorite search engine: Sorry to be a pedant, but Jerry Hall actually advertised Bovril, not Marmite. Likewise, the joke at Comic Relief referred to the beefy brown stuff. Marmite's recent adverts have been most amusing, featuring the slogan "I hate Marmite" and focusing on its phobes rather than its philes, attesting to the unique relationship British folk have with Marmite.

In the last few years a number of web sites have sprung up which deal with the business side of the NBA. Here are a few of them:

Perhaps the best introduction to letterpress on the web is David S. Rose's comprehensive Intro to Letterpress which covers many topics and has an excellent references section.

These sites provide a bizarre and mutually destructive support network for people who have anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Regular visitors to pro-ana sites offer each other unconditional approval and understanding. They also swap starvation diet tips and advice on how to hide their disorders from family and friends. Pictures of emaciated celebrities, and even themselves, are posted, together with envious comments and delight in their wasted appearance.

I have a TCS web page at http://www.gis.net/~jdimaria/tcs/tcshome.html. The page includes the FAQ, a collection of interviews, articles, rumors and other information, the discography, guitar tabs, the "Spooktime" screenplay (see question 7.6), links to the other TCS pages, information about the TCS mailing list, and other good stuff. Official TCS Fan Page was originally planned and some bits were put on-line, but the project was never completed and then later abandoned.
