    Hello all,

    Does anyone have a rec for a specific towbar and fitter please? It’s for a bike carrier not a trailer etc, so I think a detachable would be fine. I’ve found the following and wondered which ones are good:

    I have fitted westfalia detachable towbars with dedicated electrics to my previous A6 and my current Allroad, highly recommended and takes a matter of seconds to swing electrics down and insert towball or swing electrics back up and release towball. I cant recommend a fitter but I have dealt with PF Jones and they a brilliant, they also offer a fitting service.

    PS I use my towbar for bike rack and towing a caravan.

    I fitted the factory OEM bar, full electric deployment and integrated into all the car systems. Bought the bar, switch and ECU from a breaker ebay.de, then added a loom - total cost was <450 and took two hours for me to fit on the drive.

    Thanks for the tips.

    According to a couple of places, it seems like (for stock reasons) I have no choice at all now and I therefore can’t get any kind of aftermarket tow-bar. Does anyone have any ideas?
