Chip tuning at it's very best! Buy one today for your VW Touareg V6 TDI feel the instant difference! Where do i find this ? Click here Where do I find Engine Size/Power information? Don't know your engine variant? This info can be found on your vehicle registration document, the power output is usually given in "kW". In the UK the power output can be found on your DVLA issued V5 log book on the inner page, first column about half way down (Section 4), see P.1 for Cylinder Capacity and P.2 for Max Net Power (kW). More power across the range providing upto 30% increased BHP. By moving the power to the lower rev ranges increases your ability to use high gears at even lower revs, meaning you can also achieve upto 20% improved fuel economy, and reduce your CO2 emissions into the bargain! Feeling the financial pinch? So what's the difference between the two models? Both products utilise our own custom engineered RevSense software, making obtaining astonishing economy and performance gains easy as 1..2..3! For advanced users wanting that little bit more, we offer our 'Professional' version, this model uses our unique Tri-Band adjustment system allowing the user to add additional power gains at three distinct parts of the rev range. Low down for maximum economy and further up for performance.
Unlike many cars, including Chryslers, the print on the trip computer and large center-console monitor is large enough to be easily read under all conditions. This includes the odometer, trip odometer, outside temperature, gear, time, street name, and such. The top speed is likely around 130-140, respectable, but leaving lots of space on the dial. In Volkswagen tradition, the temperature and fuel numbers are not hidden. Temperature is shown in degrees Fahrenheit, and fuel in fractions. There are some odd gadgets, including a digital compass showing the car on a degree scale with North at 0 and, for example, West at 270°, perhaps more information, less readable, than you need. In Touareg, “Lane Assist” vibrates the steering wheel to let the driver know they are about to leave their lane, if they seem to be drifting or don’t signal. It worked subtly and as expected; it does not, as Jeep’s system does, counter steer.
It works starting at 65 km/h; and detects the lane even if there is only one lane marking, though faded paint makes it useless. There’s supposed to be a visual alert but we never saw it, even when showing the lane assistant in the dash (manually selected); that just shows when it was active. There are two different rear parking displays, one that’s fairly common, and another that’s more bizarre. There is also an “in lane” feature (see sidebar), and an “optical parking” feature which was somewhat hard to figure out. Jeep has these features in Cherokee but not the higher Grand Cherokee. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango both have the adaptive cruise control with adjustable distances. Sound insulation is similar to the Dodge and Jeep, though the latter have louder engines. Where both Jeep and Dodge have clear advantages, other than price, is in the user interface, and I’m not just referring to the stereo.
Volkswagen has put a lot of money into the body and suspension, and taken it away from some of the controls, as well as making some, well, a little bizarre. The lettering on the digital information displays is quite large, yet the lettering on hard controls is fairly small, particularly on the climate control. Volkswagen uses a Toyota-style cruise control stalk, but unlike most companies that use one, they put it on the left, and made it so short it’s usually hidden by the steering wheel. All the stalks are very busy, with push, pull, up, down, and tip controls. In case you’re wondering, the left-hand control includes the brights (push/pull), turn signals, and parking distance settings on the tip. The cruise has the speed (up/down), cancel, off, and resume (push/pull), set on the tip, and distance on top. On the right, there are front and rear washers and rear wiper (push/pull), front wipers (up/down), and speed (slider on top). The transmission shifter is interesting as well; pull it down once for Drive, twice for Sport, presumably to save the cost of a button.
