SteveRobb 0 Posted May 3, 2009 strange one this but hopefully a compromise can be reached.... I am getting a bit of grief from the missus regards not currently having a car with a towbar. Our current third car (which normally performs the function of taking rubbish to the skip, occasional trailer use etc) is a Corrado. If I can't find a sympathetic way of getting a towbar on a corrado I think I will have to buy another car. Can you get a towbar to fit that is a) removeable, and b) doesn't require you to cut into the rear bumper? Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Buy another cheap car for this purpose, Corrado`s SHOULD NOT have towbar`s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Simple answer as far as Im aware is no. You will have to cut the bumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 3, 2009 I'm with Dave VR6 on this, i dont like seeing Corrados with tow bars :gag: But it is possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Keep the Corrado and put the tow bar on the Porsche :lol: Funny thing is the wife's car is a Q7 but she won't let me put rubbish in the back cos of the apparent smell and mess it makes...... Don't really want to put a towbar on it either as it's pretty unsightly and we are probably going to be changing her car in the next 6 months. :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted May 20, 2009 I happen to have a Corrado tow-bar that I bought from here and have never fitted... As far as I remember you don't have to cut the bumper to fit it, and I was going to modify it so you could remove the ball and arm behind the bumper so that it would be hidden until required like most of the kits for new cars are... I'll have a dig in my parents cellar (where I think it is currently hiding ;) ) to see if I can find it... I'd be after £45 for it, although you'd have to come get it, or arrange a courier 'cos it's not exactly light! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colinstubbs 0 Posted May 20, 2009 I thought VW did a tow bar with a fitment that could be removed when not in use?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted May 23, 2009 They used to, but it's now obselete.... ...and cost £845.00!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk1g60 0 Posted May 26, 2009 i had a rear bumper iron with a towbar on it for a corrado, apparently a previous owner used to take his rear bumper off and just put this on when he wanted to use the towbar. i coulnt give it away on here and ended up throwing it in the skip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rs2coupe 10 Posted March 15, 2011 Old thread revival. Wondering if any of you chaps have the original VAG tow bar hitch wiring/electrics? Cheers, _Anton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonrb 0 Posted March 20, 2011 Hi Anton. Funnily enough, I do. Genuine original equipment kit distributed by Votex GmbH with electrics, removable hitch, and everything. The guy I bought it off says it had never been fitted (and its condition supports that) and I've never fitted it either. It's for sale if you want to make me an offer?
