Answer

What motor is installed in your Touareg? Midgrade shouldnt really affect anything. The fuel station you filled at could casue this. Lots of fuel these days are at least 10% ethanol, if not more. This is what casues these concerns. Where did you fill up. The only major fuel company Ive seen this at is Shell. Most the low budget stations are over 10%. Chevron seems to be the only good fuel left. Go to the dealer and get a couple bottles of techron additive. This may help
