Jetta towbar required
Does anyone know of a company that can supply a Jetta towbar. I can fit it no prob. I have searched the internet and cannot find one. A neighbour
wants one, and has been quoted $1700 from VW. There must be something available.

The expensive bit is the wiring loom and the computer reprogram.
Less problems getting VW to do it.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

Ah yes I can get anything from Hayman Reese through work at trade price, but there is no Jetta towbar.

Yep,.. we were told the same thing when my mum bought her Jetta.
She did not get a towbar.

Contact Jeff at http://www.ironbull.com.au
Jeff imports tow bars from Europe for European cars.
I wanted a tow bar for my Audi A6 and found that Hayman Reese do not have a tow bat to fit Audis, and God knows what an Audi dealer would charge.
Jeff supplied and fitted my tow bar, electrical kit and re-programmed the cars computers just two days ago for $963. I am very happy with the end
result.
He is based on the Gold Coast and will either courier tow bars to customers for self-installation or he flies to wherever to install them.
I don't believe that he has any VW towbars presently in stock but am sure that he could arrange to import same.
