[Euro Car Upgrades]

Hi Try000
You can get a Westfalia detachable swan neck towbar and wiring harness half price.
looks nice & neat and works with all the car systems like ops, camera, abs/esp etc.

does anyone know if these are still valid? looking for a tow kit for the R36

[Umai Naa!!]

Is the towbar itself, ADR-approved?

[Euro Car Upgrades]

Yes made in oz

[try000]

do you have a link to the item?

also does it disable the rear sensers when backing up?

cheers

[Euro Car Upgrades]

Module supplied is a VW genuine module and it works with the sensors, disabling the rear ones
i put a link for you above but here you go:

So by the time you buy the bar and the module and get it fitted you are up for about $1500.

Presumably this will also fit a B7 and a wagon

That's hardly half price of VW equipment. Lol

It is talking about cuts to the bar though. Do you have any real life pictures of installs. I am considering one for my R36 wagon but I don't want to hack up the bumper doing it though.

My R36 has a tow bar (the Westfalia one I think but bought and installed by the dealer when new). I'll take some pics and post when I can so you can see what they did and how it looks. And just for the sake of clarity, I was thinking about getting a tow bar when I bought the car yet I did not even realise it had a tow bar fitted until about two days after I bought it when I found the kit hidden in the boot! This is either because it's incredibly well hidden and hard to spot or, more likely, I'm just thick and old
