Westfalia TowBar fit
- Thread starter Cryne2
- Start date
Hi I have a Westfalia removable tow bar on my T6.1. I bought the Thule 3bike XT bike rack ,but the tail gate seems to hit the frame ,so it only opens around 300mm when the bike rack is on its tilt ,Has any one else have the same issue ? Speaking to Westfalia they don't make a different hitch to fit as they say it will invalidate the warranty.
Looks like another one of my many FUBAR's haha ,thans for any feed back

I've bought the trailer assist and detachable towbar. Love a few extrasBeen into VW Coventry to order ‘extras’ today
Hope someone can help here, I'm halfway through fitting a Wesfalia Tow bar to my 2017 Shuttle.
So I'm looking specifically at the point were three wires are connected to the extra fuse bar thats under the passenger seat.
Now the instructions say that the three cables are fitted in spots 5,6,7 lest say and a fuse fitted to each.
Now I cant for the life of me work out what the three fuses are going to plug into on the opposite side theres no power there?
I have two powerlines up, that are already connected to something, I think they are rear 12v sockets via fuses.
Anyone know what your supposed to do?
Sort of like this but I only have three wires?

Have you got a pic of what you have? I had to buy the extra fuse box and it had spare slots even with the three tow bar connections and the 12v socket I added. There is a copper buzz bar on one side.
Here is mine…
Don't suppose you can sow me what it looks like underneath - I can envisage what the fuse has joined to?
Ahhhh that makes sense - mine is the stock VW one
That was last year and seat back in now!
The fuse box is clipped into the black holder which itself is fitted to the seat base with two torx screws. You need to remove the fuse box from the holder then the fuse box splits into two parts. There might be a connector retainer to remove before you can push the new connectors in. Cable tie the new cables as they exit the fuse box and clip it all back together.

Found a link to it - you can just see the end of the purple connector retainer. Just campers also have the fuse box holder too (to help visualise / see the clips)

The original fuse box would have had one side of the fuse connected to a busbar that connects to the supply feed cable.
The idea is you connect the new circuits into the empty slots.....then add a fuse.
So have you got a close pic of the fuse box?

I fitted a Westfalia tow bar to my Audi A6, and I found the wiring instructions extremely difficult to follow, as there are no actual instructions, just pictograms. These often made no sense until explained, and sometimes had multiple possible meanings. I spent several hours trying to decrypt the 'instructions' and I still wasn't 100% sure I was correct, so I phoned them, and they were very helpful, we went through everything to confirm what I thought, and it turned out I was correct.
As far as I remember, the Westfalia instructions only show how to add the towbar module to the CAN gateway (using VCDS), this gets the trailer lights working, but loads of other ECU's also need recoding to get things working correctly. I got a list of the codes from Ross Tech.

OK so this is exactly where I'm stuck cant see how my initail searches never threw this up.
So I have the fuse board but the opposite has no bus bar and they are direct connections.
Anyone solved this as that thread petered out...

has everyone gone for the full vw wiring loom for the westfalia or the cheaper option which isn’t coded. What’s the differences please. Had just a standard fixed on my last t5 which wasn’t coded and was fine. Going on a T6 Kombi to pull a caravan. Cheers
i got some pics over here about adding new fuses to existing fusebox . . .

ok, from that other thread . . .
you can add your new wire to any of the empty slots (green)
there should be a busbar metal strip allong the other side. (orange)
in my example here is the same colour details. . .
so post a close up pic of your existing fuse block . .
and well see what you have. . .

Im new to the transporter world. Im looking for a location for my Leisure Battery and have looked under the Single front Passenger seat. The available pace looks ok. Easily 330 mm L x 230 mm H x 200 mm W. While looking I found a bunch of taped up (from Factory) Positive wires. One looks to...
