Hi Folks,

Apologies if discussed previously.

Is anyone in UK running a Tow Bar on their GTE? If so, were there any issues?

I didn't go for it, but it was a ~£700 optional extra when I was buying. VW do a retrofit themselves, so shouldn't be any issues. Old thread here: Towing with a GTE

Yes, I am, a Witter removable bar.
No issues, but the fitter had a panic attack when he lifted the bonnet to disconnect the 12V battery and found no battery but lots of orange cables. Fine when I pointed him to the battery in the boot.

Many thanks for that. I'll have a look through those options.

I think it's an excellent tow car as (providing there's enough range left in the battery) starting and manoeuvring is all done with the motor, so no clutch wear, also plenty of torque there when needed. With the software update, when indicating, an extra light illuminates on the dashboard rather than an annoying beeper coming from the boot and if any lights are faulty this is displayed on the dash as well.
