      Any advice on having a towbar installed on a manual 2011 Golf Comfortline 118TSI in Sydney? I just tried contacting Carasel who put the bar on my previous car - a commodore s/w - and they said that "because of wiring problems they do not fit bars to VW vehicles. They need to go back to VW for reprogramming."

        probably simply needs VCDS to sort any possible tail light errors

          To add the required wiring for the trailer lights to work correctly and not interfere with those on the car itself, an additional control module needs to be installed. The CAN-bus gateway module already fitted to the car then needs to be re-programmed to communicate with the additional module. This needs to be done by Volkswagen's diagnostic computer (or the various similar devices on the market).
