- Air suspension: activate high/low mode — does car level correctly at all 4 corners?
- Cold start: listen for compressor noise (air suspension), any hesitation

- Carbon inspection if mileage > 80,000 km (V6 direct injection)
Pre-Purchase VCDS Inspection at 4M Car Care
Before buying any used Touareg in Malaysia, get a pre-purchase VCDS inspection at 4M Car Care. We check all stored fault codes, DSG adaptation and fluid condition, battery SOH, pad thickness, timing chain health, and active fault lights. Many sellers clear codes before selling — VCDS sees stored codes even after clearing. Inspection fee: RM 150–220.
