Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Skodas and tow bars

I read all the posts re installing towbar on my 2018 Octavia RS169 and thought this can't be so hard
Purchased a kit from Eurotowbars Queensland and had my bar and ekit delivered from Poland
All was OK getting the bumper etc off etc and was ready to install the towbar when I found to get at the bolt holes you have to drop the rear end of the exhaust system and the heat shields. Nowhere is this mentioned in any posts I found.
It seems that Skoda has made it as difficult as possible for someone to install the bar themselves.
If I was ever to install another towbar on an Octavia I am sure it would go a lot smoother and faster but I doubt I will tackle it again
