    Current Australian spec tow bar/hitch for the Allspace is "Ballmount" 5NA 092 136D. Nose weight 200kg available from 26 Jul 2021.
    There was a lower limited nose weight one 5NA 092 136C (100kg) which may be around.

    The current installation kit (electrical) 13 pin RHD is 5NA 055 202H from 17 Jul 2022. Should be included with the tow bar/hitch.

    Thanks for your response mate. It helps!

    I thought the weight rating was vehicle specific.. Anyway, I have attached the label on the box which doesn't have any revision letter at the end of the part number. Would you have any ideas on this?

    Would it be best to pass or should it be fine to buy, of course in addition to the wiring harness

    Mine didn't need the module as it was already there, see pics, once you connected the wiring loom the circuit was completed by connecting the wiring block under the dash - see the pic of my electrical kit [elektroeinbausatz] - yours may be different as there were many variants!!

    Appreciate the photos mate. I'll have a look once I make a decision on whether or not to buy this second hand bar..

    Given the research I did to date, most sources suggest I will need an additional wiring kit 5NA 055 202H

    I'll have to open the panels to see what's hidden within. Would you mind sharing each page of the installation book you have?

    5NA 092 136 has just been discontinued. All I have on it is that it was rated to tow 2500kg, no ball weight info.
    For a 2nd hand part it looks like it's in good condition and should be a big saving to buying new.

    For the installation kit, if ending in "C" or "E" it was suitable for RHD Australian models.

    Cheers mate.

    Any chance you could help with the wiring kit? Sourcing or pointing me in the right direction? Is going to VW my only option?

    Sorry, I only have access to ETKA to help out with current parts.
    I personally would shop around a few VW dealers to see what part they have in stock noting "C", "E" and "H" are all suitable.
    I have found some country dealers doing genuine parts cheaper than the city ones.

    Finally got the genuine tow bar and harness. Just need to get it fitted and coded.

    Any suggestions in Sydney/Hills Disctrict?
