Damn it, there goes my long term plan to get one! What's the issue, exhaust in the way just?

Im not too sure tbh, I just know VW never got them certified to tow, i would guess it is probably something like that

This, I asked about a towbar for my R and was told no by VW but a few weeks later I saw an r towing a trailer in Portadown.
There was a video on youtube USA that showed you how to fit a towbar.

I remember reading about it a while ago and iirc the golf estate tow bar fits it but because it never came from the factory with a weight limit your legally not allowed to tow

Its all down to, be legal or not legal and hope you don`t have a problem, plus if you have pcp on the car what happens when you hand it back, even if you remove the towbar there will still be fitting holes etc. Not worth it.

Was talking to the guys about this. The car was purchased from the US new when it was built for the AUS market, hence the RHD. Cool car for sure, will be a nightmare to shift no doubt :worried:

What do I need to look/listen for. My minis were the R52 works or a good old 998 Mayfair

The exhaust. :cool:

TBH I don't think there are any common problems with them from being on a few of the owners groups.

Paint is soft but what isn't these days. Mine had to get an oil level sensor replaced along with another bit I can't remember the name of, done under warranty and no other issues at all in 9-10k miles the last 14 months.
