    1. From what I've seen the OEM VW Australian Tow Bar is your next best choice.
    2. However, I may have a contact who has one Westfalia R-Line Tow Bar left. I'll find out for you. Message me if you're serious but these tow bars are expensive - almost $2000.

    Just saw a MY18 Tiguan 162TSI R-line today with a towbar.
    The rear bar had not been cut into, well from what I could see.
    So I optioned the VW tow bar today.

    I've got the OEM Towbar on my MY17 and they haven't cut anything to fit it, it's identical to your images.

    Coxie - where did you source your towbar from - VW?

    thanks...maybe there has been a revision as I certainly do not want to cut my rear bumper on my R-Line

    The model number hasn't changed, I think it depends on who is fitting it and their experience.

    interesting...apart from the wiring and coding how difficult is the fitment of the actual towbar on the R-Line?
