Skodas and tow bars

It pushes up out of the way when not in use and can pe moved up a reasonable amount when the plug is in as well.

Adaptor should have been supplied with towbar.

For those with scraperage issues, just keep the wiring in the boot & hang it out the back when in use.

I had truck nuts on my falcon :) doesn't look right on the skoda

I bought mine 2nd hand and no cable supplied, have ordered an adapter to a round pin on ebay hope it turns up in time otherwise I will have borrow my old falcon

I'm mostly a fan of that... I'm especially a fan of the 13-pin plug!
I assume it does all things, like rear fog lights and tail lights individually etc? That'd be great :)

I think it does everything, including Fog and reversing lights. I'm not sure whether it has the dedicated permanent power supply, I know that was an extra option when I had my Superb.

Just checked, yes there are three wires missing from the 13 pin socket, these are the switched and permanent active and earth. I won't be using them so it doesn't really matter to me.

I have the Westfalia towbar fitted. I also have the 13 pin to 12 pin plug for our European caravan.It allows power for the fridge and caravan from the car through the permanent live.(Have the seperate auxlliary cable to connect direct to the battery). Works like an Anderson plug without the need for extra wiring to the rear of the car

Would it be impolite to ask how much your Westfalia towbar cost? Did you install yourself or was it done professionally?

For anyone else in my predicament try an Audi dealer, I sourced one through Sydney City Audi cost $94 (ouch)

Could you have done it with a 13 round to 7 pin round adaptor (about $20) and a 7 pin round to 7 pin flat adaptor (another $20)?

Did you tear the spare wheel well apart & look in the deepest darkest confines of the glovebox & the storage area under the passengers seat?

Slightly better value for others in the same boat
