Passat Towball Recalled?

[Scullers]

Yes. EXPENSIVE is right. I was quoted $2100 for my Passat MY12 from Barloworld Moorabbin. I don't think I need it that much...

I had mine fitted two weeks ago $1800 with LED simulator (quoted at $200)

I just had my tow bar fitted today to my R36 and got out of it rather cheap.

I Bought the bar from the dealer ($440) then had aranda towbars fit it and they then supplied and fit their canbus wiring module as well.

Their costs were $350, so total cost of towbar installed was only $790. Can't complain about that!

Just checked the workmanship of mine fitted upon delivery 6 weeks ago. Huge gaping hole cut away to the left of the mounting bar. Unreal......

[Umai Naa!!]

Yes, that's so you can get your hand in there to pull the pin out.

Check the other thread on someone else's towbar fitment woes, and compare.

Thanks mate. No problem then!

Damn, i was going to get a towball for the times that i might tow a trailer but that is just robbery.

The price AFTER delivery was quoted at around 2K IIRC.

Thought I better check mine as I have only had the car for a few weeks. Hooked up trailer... No right hand indicator, dash error light and the reversing sensors go off in reverse.. awesome workmanship here in Tamworth...
