Fitting a Tow Bar to a 2018 1.5 TSI SEL
Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2019 10:10 pm
I have read the posts regarding the fitting of a tow bar and it would appear far from a trivial process.
I just wish to pull a small camping trailer with 7 pin electrics as its useful for taking stuff to the tip and collecting straw etc.
I have had a quote of £300+Vat from a trailer fitting company but reading the other posts am wondering whether it is wise to go down this road.
The Skoda fitted tow bar seems to be all singing and dancing with wiring via a 13 pin socket for full functionality to a caravan etc. I can see the need to take fused power from the main fuse box and integrate the extra wiring with the Karoq system and recode etc.
Is all of this necessary for a simple camping trailer or is there a simpler solution that does not compromise the existing electrics.
Thanks for any advice
