Yeah, I call bull excrement on that one.

Not saying a dealership might try it on, but they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Dealerships prey on paranoia. Don't fall for it.

Not saying it will happen but if you want to protect your new car warranty just be thoughtful on your purchases as this goes for anything aftermarket. Aka turbos intercooler stage tunes. Not that alot of these things you will be fitting to a tiguan anyways but yes some items can void it

But an aftermarket tow bar certainly won’t.

I remember one guy in here arguing that if you didn’t use genuine VW windscreen washer additive you’d void your warranty.

One born every minute.

Dealerships must live these gullible souls.

Hi Guys,

Has anyone looked into the Westfalia detachable towbars from www.australiantowbars.com.au (Euro Car Upgrades) or even the Thule / Brink detachable or retractable version from European Towbars | Slim | Stylish | OEM Quality

I am keen not to have a big ugly Haymen Reece version or overpriced VW fitted unit. I also cant see where they attach the trailer chains on these towbars from europe? In relation to the coding, can all workshops do this, and will this coding stay with the car once VW updates the software during a service? Ive got an R Line on order and really want the retractable Brink model but can't seem to find anyone that has had it installed with pictures. Can anyone tell me what is the correct plug pin required to tow a standard 6x4 trailer here in WA? 7 pin / 13 pin? Anyone that has great info, PM to swap numbers for a chat!

Mate, I definitely recommend the Westfalia. They dont even have to cut any piece of the car to install it. When you take the gooseneck out, you cant see any evidence of a tow bar.

However, I understand that Westfalia Australia went down a few months ago and it is hard to find one. I know of one guy that has one for the R-Line, but other than that, there are no more left. If you want, I'll forward you his details. He coded it correct for me too.

Now, not everyone knows how to code the car. Make sure you use someone that does, otherwise you'll get error messages on your dash.

If you did get this Westfalia, you need an adapter which are about $50 for the genuine Westfalia one. The Westfalia has a European plug, so anything Aussie needs this adapter.
