2010 Octavia Tow Bar

[Mr_Drozz]

Hi guys,

I'm very close to trading in my 2001 Bora 4motion for a 2010 Octavia RS. My Bora has a tow bar attached, I was going to remove it before trading it in, does anyone know if it will fit the Octavia if I buy it?

No, but the load rating for towing behind the Octavia tops out at about a small empty box trailer.

[DETROITCANDY]

I believe either petrol/diesel FWD is only rated at 1600kg (braked?).

[Smart1]

Unbraked is 750kg.

What's the Kodiaq rated at? I have a Santa Fe that can tow a decent load with it's diesel but never got a tow pack fitted. My thoughts are to wait 3yrs and get a Kodiaq, but haven't see whether they are any better.

2010 1Z Octavia RS is rated to tow 1300kg braked. I towed at around 1300kg and it was fine.

the 1Z scout 4x4 is rated to 1600kg.

[zei20t]

Kodiaq is rated to 2200kg or 2500kg braked.

OK so similar to my Santa Fe, maybe moreso with the diesel coming.

[Smart1]

Is that Kodiaq figure for OZ as the weight limits vary between countries. Generally the ADR's result in lower limits than overseas.

I would be very surprised if it was interchangeable. I think the Bora would be a lot narrower than the Octavia. Also There is likely a difference in the floor pan between the all wheel drive and the front wheel drive.

I think the big drama with the Octavia is the tow ball weight. That is the down weight on the tow ball. 80 kgs i believe.

Used to be 75 on the Mk2, that is why I wondered what the Kodiaq was, SUVs typically have better downball and overall weight.

[Guest001]

Kodiaq is rated to 2200kg or 2500kg braked.

ANY trailer over 750KG MUST have some type of braking. Usually overides up to 2000KG Over that must have brakes on ALL wheels

Thanks guys might see if anyone here is interested in buying the tow bar from my car as I'll be piratically giving the car away trading it in

I have just removed the towbar from my 2007 Octavia RS. I have the towbar, tongue and tow ball available (everything except the loom) if you're interested...?

Incidentally, there was no wiring pack installed in my car, so I assume the previous owner removed it but couldn't be bothered removing the towbar, as it was a royal PITA...
