We do some, nothing arranged at the minute specifically for '8s, but the audi-sport guys have some now and again, and are a welcoming bunch.
Where in Scotland are you, a few of us have VCDS and could help out.

Thanks for the info, I'm in Peterhead, just north of Aberdeen. I've ordered the towbar but it wont come until mid next week, and then I need to fit it, that'll take a day or two.

Have a look at page 32, you need to code the following modules: 01 Engine control unit 13 Distance control ACC 19 Diagnosis interface for data bus 34 Level control 45 Brake electronics ESP 76 Park distance control Assuming you have a full version of VCDS there is a coding helper for each of those modules, you need to add the towing/trailer option to each. It's all pretty simple once you have it in front of you |

To revive an old thread...
Hi. Help! I'm still after a towbar for my D3. I've found one second hand, but the seller assures me this all that is needed, see pic, and all A8s are wired to accept this. I'm of the opinion that a loom/controller/etc is needed to interface between the Towbar and the car. I'm utterly confused at this point, but really want a towbar, and can't justify the cost of a new one. Thanks. John.

You can fit that tow bar and use standard single or twin electric sockets. All you need to do then is put the car in towing mode manually. I did this with mine using an original Audi tow bar and it all works perfectly. It's also handy having the battery in the boot for the wiring. You will need a 7 way bypass relay for the lights which will prevent any issues with the cars lighting system but it's a doddle to fit.

I'm intending to get the bits together as and when, and get around to fitting it in the spring/summer/when I have time and it's not cold,.. or raining...
