towing

Hi there everyone, I am new to the site and was looking for some information if possible. I am looking at buying a 2018 sportline van 204 Dsg, and it will be used to carry gardening equipment, but also I tow some commercial mowers with a twin wheel for Williams plant trailer and a John Deere...

Hi all. I have a Highline 180 DSG Kombi. Does anyone know the approximate towing weight capability of the van? I have a leisure trailer that should be around 1200kg loaded which I'm sure it can easily tow. It is more a question of being legal. I took a look on the internet and nothing obvious...

I’ve just had a tow bar fitted by a PF Jones fitter and he told me that when a something is connected to the tow bar, bike carrier or trailer in my case, that I lose the adaptive cruise control. Is that right or is the fella flexing me? I could probably work without the adaptive but cruise is a...

Hi I have the eibach pro 50mm springs from custom vanz and standard dampers. The van sits great but if I hook my bike trailer or put a bit of weight in the rear it sits lower than the front. Is this because the standard dampers are not sufficient , if so do I go for a B8 Bilstein? Cheers James

I apologise if this had been covered already. I’m looking at B14s, Koni H&R combo and stance coilovers but wanted people’s opinions on them when a caravan is hitched up. Towing with a T30 dsg 204 4 motion

Does anyone know what the max load is on the towing eye?

Hi all First long trip towing the caravan with 204ps swb kombi I am only getting 20mpg average in a 400 mile journey? Is this right ?

Hi all I have committed the ultimate cardinal sin and bought a caravan :( apologies . I was in the process of planning and sourcing a convertor to carry out work to my Kombi van but in the meantime had found myself a new partner (bonus result). After serious discussions we decided to go the...

Hi there, new to forum and have recently bought a 2017 T6 204 highlife dsg without towbar prep. Had a towbar fitted by PF Jones including the additional wiring needed etc. All fine but I was expecting to see the little green 1 with two arrows to appear on dashboard when I use the indicators...

hi guys new t6 owner so bear with me. Had my t6 150 panel for 3 weeks now. Had a removeable tow bar fitted, just been down to Devon, whilst it does tow fine, the back is very low and frfontg lifted, which made the ride very ‘iffy’......... any suggestions very appreciated......

I need to lift the back as I’m towing so just won’t about a 30mm lift on the back as you can see in the picture it sits a bit lo on the back. Do I turn the nut so it’s 30mm up from where it currently is?. Also I have miss placed the adjusting spanner’s so can I do it without them?. Last of...

Hi Some low life bumped into my van yesterday evening while I was sleeping in the van They left before I even had time to get out ( so no idea what car/reg it was!...) At first couldn't see any damage, then saw this bump or rear right door at bottom + scratch on bumper i check the door open and...

Hello all On 275/35 and 265/40 applications we’ve always gone with and recommended 40psi all round. Recently we’ve been experimenting with different pressures. We’ve had two t32 Kombi s running Bilsteins and 265/40, one on 36psi and the other on 40psi. Both have covered 12000 in a year. The...

Afternoon, I have been down to the local dealership today to have a nose around a T6 Kombi. It has a tailgate and I would like a Genuine VW 4 bike rack fitted (this seems a great bit of kit). I regularly tow a caravan so I need to know if I can safely tow with bikes on rack. Putting bikes in...

Hi Chaps.. As per the title. Looking for a Detachable Tow Bar.. My van is lowered on B14's, as low as it will go. Only to pull my track car 350kg trailer and a 500kgs car. If I go for a detachable is the bar invisible? Thanks. Dave.

Hi, Do any of you TSI owners tow with your van? I would be interested in performance and towability (is that even a word). Obviously a TDI will be much better. But I am attracted by the simplicity of the petrol engine (in 150 guise) and the future value of the van. Cheers.

Just a quick one today, anybody know where the rear towing eye on a T6 Caravelle is please? (besides at the rear!) I think I've identified it but it would be nice to get confirmation from those in the know. Surprisingly after a Google and T6forum search I can't find anything to do so...

im looking for advice, in the process of buying high liner Kimbo sag 204, sales rep assured me it will pull my caravan , it is 2000 kg. Just need to know if it will up hills, my present vechicle I bought last year new, struggles. Thanks for any reply’s in advance. Don’t want to pay out again if...
