Superb Wagon Towbar Melbourne

[merkin]

Can anyone help me in Melbourne?

Skoda are quoting $2k plus installation for a superb wagon towbar.

Surely someone is fitting them and updating the elecs via the canbus? to be as good as the skoda install?

I'd rather fit a $500 one to my MY08 forester at that price, even if the skoda is the family car with more space/comfort.

Horrendous prices for Skoda "factory" tow bars and of course the tow ball weight limits are so low its a hell of a lot of money just to pull a box trailer!

I'm doing these sums at the moment myself as my falcon ute is up for rego soon. I was looking at these guys Superb Wagon | Towbars Australia from the Octavia towbar thread. Was waiting for someone to post their experience LOL. But I might have run out of time...

But if its $2k for fit and almost $1k for a trailer. I'll likely keep my ute in rego for another three years... at least I know it'll take a ton.

The Superb towbar is the same as the last model Octavia. I have one but from PF Jones in the UK. Cheaper including postage with the wiring than buying from here in AU. Its the Westfalia removable swan neck option, great unit and when not towing cannot be seen.

Someone around here should be able to code it with a VCDS as well. I'm hoping to justify the cable with SWMBO.

Which dealer did you guys speak to? Give Essendon Skoda a call and drop my name, "Dion". See if they can do a better price.

I was just quoted $900 in Brisbane for a 50mm HR setup with control box.

Who from? and is it the swan neck type or removable ball type?

Is that supply only or supply and install?

Hi all,

Sorry been tied up.

Richmond Skoda quoted Approx $2100 for cut out style fitted.

I was recommended a few places in the Octavia thread on here, but i'd seen them all and wanted it fitted and I didnt want a cut out like the Haymen Reese one.

Euro towbars stood out, but were northern states based. Anyways i emailed off Jeff and he contacted me straight awayHe said he trips down every now and then for some installs in Melbourne. Anyways less than 2 weeks later (would have been 1 week without a courier issue), for $1085 he had fitted in a few hours in my driveway: a quick release swan neck rated to 2,000kg towing capacity and 100kg ball load. (Refer to your owners manual as to what Skoda Australia recommend for warranty purposes). The towbar is made in Poland by AUTO-HAK. It has a lifetime warranty. The electric kit is German made by Jaeger. He changed the round connecter to a 7 pin flat for me as well. All done and programmed up. Looks neat. Very happy.
