The westfalia portilo system is rated to carry 54 kg of building material. So I don't think 36 kg of bikes would worry it. The attachment lever looks more than a foot long.

a bit more on the ironbull towbar
Hi Mark,
I have fitted seven towbars to Yeti’s so far. They are a bit difficult to install but after a few it gets easier. The genuine (Australian) towbar is made in NZ and only has a rating of 1200 or 1400kg? The European towbars are all built to mount the same as per EC standards. Both the Euro and Smart towbars are detachable but the smart type is quicker to remove (see drawing). My towbars are made in Poland but are on par with the Westfalia towbars.
Let me know when you get the car. The dealer will quote about $1800 fitted!!!
Cheers,
Jeff
Ironbull.

the forward/backward adjusting head restraints in the current passat have the same sized mounts as the yeti (and tiguan) and so should be interchangeable, I'll keep pursuing.Quote:

If you see a dirty white diesel, somewhere in Victoria or South Australia, with 16" wheels and an ironbull towbar, there would be a fair chance it's me:cool:.
Notyet: my partner seems to have got used to the seats, she feels quite safe and comfy.
Great buying. How much was rego/TPI/delivery or what was driveaway price??Quote:

Does yours have the cornering fog light function? Amazingly useful to have indicator or steering input light up corners. If not it's a modifiable setting with VCDS.
So far have seen a few Yeti's on the road in Brissie. White TDI. Black probably TDI with superskoda red foot rear badge and big front spotlights. White with Dolmio pasta signage.
