Thread: Passat Alltrack Towbar

  1. #11

    Speedy towbars and exhausts at Everton Hills Brisbane did the job. And what a job....

    Nice, better than the whale's mouth I have at the back of mine. You're looks like I'd hope mine had been. VW really should have thought about matching it to the car rather than just shoehorning the std Passat unit which required such a large cutout. The same is just not visible on the std Passat given the black valance vs the silver Alltrack valance.

    You need the big cut-out to have access to the 13-pin connector and the pin for the tongue.

    If you try and make the cut-out smaller, the customer complains that they can't get their hands in to disconnect everything.

    Looks like a tidy job, where did you get it done? Do you know what the HR part number was.

    My issue is purely based on the lack of thought from VW for the Alltrack, given how poor the solution is from an aesthetic point of view. Sure its functional, but most cars like this lend themselves to towing given the people who go for them, but the design function doesn't suit the styling with the faux aluminium valance. Poor design from a company who normally excels.
