Towing mode
Well guys, following on from the battery issue I had, it now seems the car thinks I've got a permanently attached trailer/caravan!
This means the car is currently sat in towing mode, without the ability to turn it off in the mmi Anyone else experienced this? |

Does your car have towbar fitted? Could be a short there.

Does it have the socket for a towbar electrics fitted?
If so it could be water that is causing a short Edit You just beat me there Richard....

It does have a detachable towbar. I pulled the socket down today, we've had a lot of water with the rain here, but couldn't spot any signs of ingression. I guess I'll have to get a hair dryer on it or something.
Does anyone know what fuse controls the electrics going to the socket? If I can pull that, I can then quickly identify if that's the issue |

Spray plenty WD40 into it and it should help

A big thanks to PsYcHe who yesterday coded out the towing control ECU for me, and adjusted the parking sensor, and self levelling system to think it hasn't got a towing control unit.
The car is now back on track, but I obviously have an issue with the towing control ECU on the car, but have no idea where it is!!!! Anyone got a clue? Thanks |

You'll find it lurking underneath the battery - remove the battery and you'll see a couple of Torx screws holding a black box to the panel underneath. It will be printed with Westfalia logos.
