Where can I get a towbar fitted 4 a multivan ltd in SYD?

[Chucky007]

yeah it has parking sensors. that was for parts and labour. Maybe thats an ok price?

the bar is probably around 1000-1200 with the wiring kit. Add on top labour.

Although 2012 are trailer prepped so take some time off labour.

I asked around, and the MY12 models have the wiring there for towbars.
The earlier models don't, and if you have the parking sensors fitted, then wiring has to be run to behind the dash, and some vcds programming is required.
I have done it once on a 2007 model myself, and will never attempt it again. I would gladly pay to get it done everytime.

I was told that $1600 is the going rate.

Lesson, get the towar included during the negotiation process (if it is a new van). I did that with my MY11 van as I knew I was going to need a towbar. Ended up getting it thrown in for nothing. I worked out the best price I could, then when it came time to shake hands on the deal, I said "include a towbar fitted and we have a deal". The worst that can happen is that they say no.

T5GP (2010-) is around 4 hours work for a Transporter, and around 8 hours work for a Multivan. The installation on a Multivan is a big job, requiring removal of all upper left side interior trims, the left front seat, and all lower dash trims.

T5 (-2010) was much simpler, at around 2-3 hours work.

Sad isn,t it the more technology changes the more we pay to fit an accessorie .

towbar for mine was a similar price, as suggested i negotiated it into the purchase price and took the dealer more than a full day to fit
