Anybody purchased a 2020 Highline black edition recently ; what drive away prices are achievable? Thanks in advance, Brett.

Will have to revise purchase decision. No B.E. Available. 2020 580 Highline - anybody purchased recently ( price ) ?

Hey Daniel,

Are you able to shed some light on the lack of Fuse diagrams/documentation about current generation Amaroks? Seems that VAG have given up on providing that documentation.

Reason I ask is that I am looking to install a Dash Cam in my new Highline when it arrives, but need to provide the Cam with both switched and permanent power supplies for the hardwire kit to work properly. They provide the fuse piggy backs but these must be selected based on the type of Fuse the Amaroks have (interior box), which so far I don't know (Mini, Micro2, ATS or ATC).

Any ideas?

Hi mate, sorry i dont get on here much sometimes.

Usually under the center of the steering wheel are 2 fuses for accessory power. You can plug your piggy back wire into this. Check for switched power with a 12V test light to confirm. The fuse
Box diagrams are all over the places for amaroks

Thanks Daniel, very helpful and good to know that there is a VW mech/sparky here in Brisi, could be useful at some stage...

Cheers,
Jurg

I have the net 4x4 recovery points on my 2018 and you can definitely snatch off them. They were a little fiddly to install being one bolt has the radiator hose in the way but it can be done.

I just wired a EGT/Boost gauge into mine as used the narva add a circuit connectors. they are brilliant. Fuse box in bottom right corner of dash under steering wheel. Just have to pull a little tab down to access. Good luck getting a fuse diagram as I could not find one. test light was the only option.

Hi there,

Well for now I’ve decided not to install a bullbar as I don’t need it for the 4wding I’m doing.

As for the front recovery points I’ve found some on eBay that bolt to the lower sway bar assembly, but you need to purchase a bridle strap to even put the load when recovering.

Here is the link for this type of front recovery point

As for the snorkel it is mainly for me to get colder cleaner and forced air into the engine. How ever I do go through some river crossings.

Muddy water and alternators do not mix well.
I’ve discovered that the hard way with my 4 cylinder rok.

I’m a VW mechanic/ auto electrician so I have lots of experience with these vehicles.

The snorkel I used is the safari V spec snorkel and it was $500 from eBay. And took 4.5 hrs to install and make it water tight.

Hope that sheds some light.

Got a question.

Bought a tow bar kit with Jaegar CANtrol but the wiring interface between controller and car is not compatible. The ebay vendor has since gone to ground and won't honor a return or replacement. Although the kit is touted to fit Amaroks from 2010 to current, it does not appear to be compatible with mine (M21). The supplied towbar interface adapter has one large and one small plug, but the wiring loom on mine has two of the smaller plugs - unless I'm looking in the wrong spot but I couldn't see any other leads under the dash.
What I'm after is the correct wiring adapter for a '21 Rok that can plug into the Jaegar unit.

As far as bullbars, winch mounts and recovery points - have a look at the Rhinos. They're not just a steel bullbar with winch mount, anchor points and bash plate - nup, they are a replacement bumper. Get 'em color matched and they look like the car came out of the factory with them fitted, rather than a bull bar add-on.
If you fit them yourself you can save a grand. $500 for them to fit it but if your bumper is in good shape, you can sell that and make another 5.

Daniel,
looking for some help regarding a tow pack. Should be right up your street.
Ebay vendor supplied me with a tow kit that stated it was compatible from 2010 to current. Mine is a M21 (2021 model) but problem is that the interface cable supplied with the Jaegar Canbus trailer connector is not compatible with the vehicle harness. The ebay vendor refuses to take returns, in spite of the fact that there appear to be issues about compatability.
Where do I go to get the appropriate connector between vehicle harness and the trailer controller? Is there some sort of nominated Australian agent for this stuff?

As far as towpacks, hooks and recovery issues go, have any of you blokes had a look at the Rhino bull bars? Looks like a normal bumper bar. It's a replacement unit. You get 'em color matched to your vehicle, remove your old bumper and sell it on ebay, and you get a replacement that looks like the original but is made of steel with alloy bash plate, winch mount and hooks.
