fitting tow bar to Bora 4mo

[governor22]

Has anyone done it ? If so, how much?

I saw this place on Victoria Rd does it for $575
VW Bora Tow Bar Sydney

but do I need to get the wiring or 'canbus' set up on top of that?

Really have no idea when it comes to tow bars, so appreciate all the help I can get.

Also, anyone know of good places to find new (cheap) or used trailers? Just a 6 by 9 or something big enough to fit gardening tools into ?

cheers

That's a good price. I paid about $ 500 for a Hayman Reese bar that I installed myself.

Wiring is conventional. No special black boxes required.

CANBUS is only an issue in Australian released VWs* from the Mk5 generation onward. MK4 and earlier have a standard wiring setup.

* I say this because I've heard rumours of some CANBUS equipped Mk4s overseas - the DSG Mk4 R32 for instance.

so if they say 'fitted', that means the wiring is already done ? Sweet

what was involved in the wiring Peter? just plug and play??
did the rear valance have to be chopped at all?

I made a plug in loom myself. Can't vouch for how others would do it.

A small section of the bumper has to be cut out. It's on the underside of the skirt. Not noticable unless you crawl under the car to look at it.

Mounting is very discrete with the tongue removed.

I didn't mount the trailer plug to the car, I used one of the flexible, flat ribbon types that rolls up into the boot.
