V10 TDI Touareg to Return?

© 2005 - 2006 The VW Gazette.
Back in March, Volkswagen was forced to pull their powerful 5.0 litre V10 TDI engine after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took issue with a liquid additive that Volkswagen used in the exhaust systems to reduce emissions. Although approved for use in Europe, the EPA felt it necessary to conduct its own tests. Well, it seems those tests are complete and have produced positive results... The Los Angeles Auto Show's website has reported that the 10 cylinder TDI engine will return later this year. Although this information has not come directly from Volkswagen, it seems to be in line with what AutoWeek reported back in June when they said that Volksagen vows to return the Touareg's TDI engine by the MY2006 (read The VW Gazette article V10 diesel Touareg to return by 2006).
