Touareg 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 147,265 miles

I owned the car for year 2011, first 100K km I found the car hardly can start and it took 7-10 seconds to crank start with greyish white smoke. drop by to the agent and get diagnose and was told needed overhauling due to our fuel quality (claimed only EU2) and further to their checking EGR was the problem had it changed and problem solved. At 140K same problem came got another EGR replaced problem solved. Currently at 220K same problem came, got diagnosed and found high pressure fuel pump got it replaced did the diagnose and found front 3 injectors problem, got them replaced and still having slow crank start and greyish white smoke. Currently car still in agent's workshop (MAJU MOTOR @ Brunei Darussalam) almost a week, they advise to open the header and check whether it needed a general overhaul and charges are lime 10-15K. I would certainly appreciate if someone can advise the way forward as over the coming 7 years I have spent too much money on this car.
