    This has been created for all towbar and towing related queries and problems. Please post all towbar related information here REGARDLESS of your vehicle.

    Many people are duely concerned when fitting a towbar either themselves or from a company, as it can severly damage the aestheics of their car which they have spent a lot of money on in the first place.

    Therefore, if you have had a towbar fitted, please can you take the time to post up photographs of the finished atricle, including the

    • make, model and year of the vehicle
    • manufacturer of the towbar
    • the company who fitted (if applicable)
    • if it is a detachable bar please post pictires of the towball attached and removed
    I'll start the ball rolling with my own car so you all get an idea of the layout.

    Please DO NOT post questions in this thread, they will be removed.

    Make, model and year of the vehicle - 2005 A4 Avant SE 2.0 TDI
    Manufacturer of the towbar - Bosal (part 034-601), fixed swan neck
    The company who fitted - Towequipe, Leicester
    Bumper cut required? Yes
    Visible bumper cut? No, it's in the bottom black part of the bumper and it's on the bit underneath where you can't see it.

    pic1.jpgpic2.jpgpic3.jpg

    I bought the towbar from Towequipe over the telephone rather than the internet because I wanted to make sure it came with the correct bypass relay. Also, the fitting instructions don't say whether a cut is required but I needed one when I fitted the same bar to my 306 so they checked with Bosal for me before I bought the towbar.

    The fitter in Leicester did a fantastic job, very professional, very neat, no mess left behind.

    • Audi A4 Convertible 2007
    • Westfalia detachable
    • fitted by me

      With bar detached and socket folded up

    Attached and socket folded down
    002.jpg

    I used universal electrics with a bypass relay. Ryder do a parking sensor cut out relay (TFR1), I am poor at reversing, so I didn't bother. Has to be european single socket.
