Vw Passat b7 estate tow bar fitting 

A very useful and helpful video, thanks! 👍 Did the same on my B7 today 🤘

Such a great help...fitted a tow bar to my B7 today.. i know its just a face lift model but it is intresting that a b6 tow bar fits a b7 an no towbar shops seem to want to tell you that. So took a punt at the wreckers

Thanks, very helpful. Yes, it should plug into the back.

Thank you!!!

Gracias por el vídeo, me ha sido muy util. Thanks.

Hi mate cheers for the video. When I have my trailer connect the trailer right indicator doesn't work do you think that's down to the loose wire? Still trying to see where it all connects to wondering if you can help cheers

Nice vid! How long did the proces in total? Ps did you not have to plugin the car to a computer at one point?

I know that modern LED lights are a pain, and I presume that they are all LED in your Passat? But do you know if there's a separate feed for each function? IE;- L Ind. 1 wire. R Ind 1 wire, Nr plate 1 wire, Park LIght 1 wire, Brake Light 1 wire. Fog Light 1 wire. In the MB led wiring, there is only one wire supplying both the brake and park lights...when the brake is pressed, it sends increased "bandwidth" ( I think that's the term ) so the LED glows brighter. Just wondering if the Passat wiring is the same? In some modern makes with LED lighting, Its possible to use a smart relay system that works, and saves all that ripping and tearing to wire up your towbar. The problem with wiring is that after the shell is assembled and painted, the wiring harness is on of tghe first things to be installed in the new vehicle, hence problems down the line. Good Video, well explained, and easy to follow. Thanks, I'll bear it in mind when I have to fit the towbar to my Passat.

I'm fitting a crash bar back on and removed tow bar but I haven't got the bolts and not sure what size they are any help would be great Darren

Hi a done my a3 it was a nyt mare I run the loom to the fuse box then got auto electrician to connect the loom to the fuse box

Thanks for the info. Do you find it tows well?

Pozdrav, hvala vam sto djelite vase znanje i pomazete ljudima! Jedno pitanje, koja kuka odgovara na passat b8, moze li od golfa 7 ili pasata b7? Hvala

Nice video. I have fit more of these than I care to remember. Fortunately my job is designing them now. Can always give us a call if you need help!

I looked at buying this for mine and the shipping cost just for the wiring kit is 412 pound! guessing it gets its own seat and a meal

How did you find tryna connect wires at the fuse box mate im having a head scratch tryna wire up , the instructions aint the best , im competant to do it but still a head scratcher tryna get the wires into where there supposed to be with so little give in the wiring

Had one fitted on mine now the boot catches on the bumper and there is little clearance looks like the bumper will have to come off again

Hi what size are the crash bar bolts please Darren

That wiring harness looked way too complicated. Most here in the States are shorter and connect in the rear where your rear lights connect. Don't have to run all the way up front.

Bloody hell, we used to tap into the rear lights 😳..modern cars..I tell ya 🙄
