Here are the pics. Also came with the genuine VW square trailer adaptor, total cost was $1800

Thanks romaniac - just looking at that pic a bit more closely, is your trailer light adapter hooked up via your boot??? or have you just sat it there for the photo?

Take a look at the Westfalia web site then give Tammy at Westfalia a call on 03 9466 7941.
She is a legend!
They have a solution and it's around $1000 delivered with loom.
Perhaps confirm that it is ADR compliant which is most likely the case.

nah it's not, the plug is under the bumper. I just put it there to show the adaptor that came with the towbar

Just for those that are interested here is the towbar fitted to my old mans tiguan.

Sorry for bad photos was raining.

Under bumper shot. Note the harness plug actually will swing up to the left and out of the way.

Thanks for those pics...

I guess I've only really had experience with Hayman Reece style tow bars before..
I'm assuming that the gooseneck style are all compliant?

Thanks to everyone for their inputs, let's see how it goes.

Cheers

That looks like the swing away towbar they fit in Germany. I've never seen that towbar type used in Australia. I'd double check the ADRs with the distributor I think
