TOUAREG 5.0 TDI V10

[Terminator X]

Anyone got one and care to comment on what it's like? I was browsing the Classifieds for V10's (like you do) and this came up amongst all the M5's, M6's and S8's!

Beast of a motor,total torque monster,pull a house down with one.
Had an internal coolant leak with one,very rare,can't remember what the fault was,water pump maybe,sump was half full with coolant,would never know if I wasn't servicing the thing,went extremely well for the size and weight of the thing.

I've got the Phaeton with the V10 twin turbo it's a monster, originally I had planned to take it to AMD for their re-map to get the near 1000Nm of torque at just over tick-over but to be perfectly honest I haven't bothered.
It can do 35 mpg at the legal limit on motorways but hoofing it about (which you do because it makes you smile) I get 20 mpg. At motorway speeds if you accidentally flattened your foot on the throttle it would I imagine get to over 100 in the blink of an eye.
