Reply With QuoteHorrendous prices for Skoda "factory" tow bars and of course the tow ball weight limits are so low its a hell of a lot of money just to pull a box trailer!

Can anyone help me in Melbourne?
Skoda are quoting $2k plus installation for a superb wagon towbar.
Surely someone is fitting them and updating the elecs via the canbus? to be as good as the skoda install?
I'd rather fit a $500 one to my MY08 forester at that price, even if the skoda is the family car with more space/comfort.

I'm doing these sums at the moment myself as my falcon ute is up for rego soon. I was looking at these guys Superb Wagon | Towbars Australia from the Octavia towbar thread. Was waiting for someone to post their experience LOL. But I might have run out of time...
But if its $2k for fit and almost $1k for a trailer. I'll likely keep my ute in rego for another three years... at least I know it'll take a ton.

The Superb towbar is the same as the last model Octavia. I have one but from PF Jones in the UK. Cheaper including postage with the wiring than buying from here in AU. Its the Westfalia removable swan neck option, great unit and when not towing cannot be seen.

Someone around here should be able to code it with a VCDS as well. I'm hoping to justify the cable with SWMBO.

Which dealer did you guys speak to? Give Essendon Skoda a call and drop my name, "Dion". See if they can do a better price.
