    Tow bar purchase and fitment in Melbourne?

    I've got a 2011 Passat Wagon and I'm hoping someone can recommend a good place for purchase &/or fitment of a tow bar. Cheapest price I've found so far is $1400 which is way more than I was expecting and sounds like I'm being ripped off. The tow bar on my last car, a Subaru, was $400.

    That first link I posted seems to have disappeared. Why not ring Westfalia in Melbourne and ask them who fits them The premier invisible one is the neatest

    Hey brettue I've got a 2011 Passat wagon and looking to get my tow bar removed as I don't need it. Was going to try my local panel repair shop to see if they could do it. Maybe we could work something out via pm as I'm not really concerned about getting money for the tow bar if you want to foot the bill for removal??

    Did the swap with lukeburt7 today (thanks luke!) after Volks Affair quoted me $400ish for the switcheroo job between our cars. The bill came in at $850 and when I questioned it the mechanic said "yeah, about $400 each car". FFS! They totally knew that I was paying for both removal and fitment, kudos, they stiched me up properly. Then, just as I get back home on the opposite side of town, they call me to tell me they forgot to do the coding that disables the reversing sensor alarms when a trailer is hitched. *sigh*
