David..

I have just called my local Towbar fitter and he has quoted £280 + VAT with twin sockets. the is not a detactable one. (however you have not advised you wanted one!) They will need the car for about 5 hours.

Im in the West Yorkshire area.. Where abouts are you??

Cheers

i am based close to bournemouth,thats excellent price does not have to be detachable,but i dont think that includes a module and some sort of setup from vw but that might be all nonsense,something to do with letting the computor system in the car to relate that a t/bar is fitted,might be the parking senses? but that price is really good have they done one before? could travel there if i work around it thanks a million for advice could you give me there contact thanks:Blush:

Heres the website..

http://www.eeco-uk-ltd.co.uk/

the only time the parking sensors would screw up is when you put it in reverse.. and it would bleep saying "WALL" when its a caravan!! going forwards fine..

Give them a buzz and tell them your mate called yesterday....

However go onto www.YELL.com (http://www.YELL.com) and type in TOWBAR and your town name... and just do some ringing about... they will all be around that price... my dad got one fitted on his Audi A4 for under £200 all in..

Cheers

thanks will try,did try independant chap gave me a lot of h/tech advice because the model is very high/tech setup,did state had to go to vw to get some setup to let the system know it has t/bar,any truth in that? sounds all crap to me but they are more complicated than x/5 fitting,will make some phone calls,the information from vw is amazing to say the least,really appreciate your time and effort thanks:beerchug:
