Skodas and tow bars

[Smart1]

Skoda Aus MkIII towbars are available. They come from Prof Svar s.r.o. out of Czech Republic with OZ certification, complete with Euro quick release phallic ball. The removable ball even fits into the spare wheel area inside the foam tool carrier section. Wiring socket folds up when not in use too.

And the 64,000 dollar question is.....hopefully not that expensive?

Quick questions on tow bars mine is factory fit and has a 13 pin connector? I'm trying to find an adaptor to a 7 pin flatbar, need to sort it before next weekend would be great if someone could point me in the right direction. Super cheap etc gave me a quizical look when I went in and asked.

Cheers,

For those wondering, the towbar is around the $1500 mark. Not the cheapest bar in the world by any means, but a lot easier to insert and remove then the Best Bars versions that they used to fit.

The wiring socket is the 13 pin version, yes, but comes with the 13-7 pin flat connector. According to my invoice it is Skoda #SKH13R7FA and $94.22 + GST.

Here are some pics.


Everything appears to work properly, reversing sensors disable, trailer appears in display, trailer indicator lights appear in display, fog lights disable.

I love the fact its very well integrated (and can store the bar in the car itself).....but man that looks very phallic......

[donweather]

The light connection hangs very low below the car and on the RS I reckon you'd damage that fairly easily going in and out of steep driveways etc.

It pushes up out of the way when not in use and can pe moved up a reasonable amount when the plug is in as well.

Adaptor should have been supplied with towbar.

For those with scraperage issues, just keep the wiring in the boot & hang it out the back when in use.

It just needs some of these:

I had truck nuts on my falcon doesn't look right on the skoda

I bought mine 2nd hand and no cable supplied, have ordered an adapter to a round pin on ebay hope it turns up in time otherwise I will have borrow my old falcon

I'm mostly a fan of that... I'm especially a fan of the 13-pin plug!
I assume it does all things, like rear fog lights and tail lights individually etc? That'd be great
