Hi,
Firstly, thanks to all those who replied to my question about the turbo whistle on my 2005 Octavia tdi estate.
I've only had the car a few weeks. It has a factory-fitted removable towbar which, although the car is 3 years old, has never been used.
I can't push the towbar far enough up into the housing in order to pull the lever to turn the oval-shaped lugs so they fit into the guides sticking out of the housing and thus lock the towbar in place. It seems the towbar needs to push up another few mm before the lugs will seat themselves.
There don't appear to be any obstructions, dirt, rust etc.
Has anyone had a similar problem, please?
