    The HR bar is only rated at 1250kg. The TDI is good for 1600. I have asked HR if they are going to do a higher rated bar for the 7.
    When I asked about the HR ecu they said its a dumb unit but does disable the reversing alarm and rear fog lights if fitted.
    I would prefer to go HR bar with VW loom.
