09 factory Towbar Noise

Sounds the same as the one included in the Q5 pack...

First you insert a captive square threaded nut INSIDE the tube of your tongue (held there by a spring), then when you put the tongue in the locking pin is inserted from the right, and screwed into the nut that is already there. This prevents the rattling. There is a locking socket that is placed over the end at the left, and locked with the key provided. Comes with it's own spanner too.

I'll post a picture when someone reminds me how to attach a file

Hi Neil,
to attach picture you need to: 1.click on insert the image - window will open, than 2. insert a link to your google picasa or other picture account you have on the web. If you go with google select middle size image otherwise it is to small if you go for bigger size it will not fit on 15" laptop screen and you have to scroll to see the picture.

Moonan's description is spot on for the locking pin. The standard rattling thing happens even just by grabbing the hitch and wiggling it up and down, towing not required. I'll try the pic as well just in case.
