Mine is a Nov 2018 build and has those weights in the handbook at the back and no doubt yours has as wellOriginally Posted by Simonr23
Remembering that the rules says its the lesser of what the bar limit or the vehicle limit is
WHICHEVER IS THE LESSER and despite it being a VW bar the vehicle limit in the book is trumps
In 1995 Toyota rated the Landcruiser at 2500kg towing but also produced a 3500kg towbar.
They refused to upgrade the vehicle rating and those owners were stuck with it whereas the 1996 got upgraded with almost no engineering alterations.
You can have all the stickers you like but until they officially upgrade it Too bad too sad,

I hoped the quick reply covered it fully. Apologies for being a bit too vague.
All my paperwork mentions 200kg- not just the towbar sticker, or the sticker on the car. I have an updated booklet ‘thing’ that specifies the 200 towball limit- with no exclusions/dependencies.

Unfortunately all my labels say 100kg, but my Amendment manual mentions 200kg. No love from the dealer

What are people using as a tow hitch plug when they don’t have the tow ball inserted in the tongue?
is there a VW one?

Which towbar do you have A VW or a Hayman Reece If the latter they sell branded plugs for inflated prices Most of us just leave it open so dust and crap doesnt get stuck in it
