Audi A/S8 tow hooks

[darrenjoe90]

i have the factory one fitted to my d2 fl s8. it is removable and when removed there is no evedence of one. the electrics also fold away. dont think it was cheap when fitted. i heard it was aroud 1300 quid

here are the pics, of the factory westfalia, there is always a few on german ebay.de, about 200-700 euros. or try a8parts. and a cheap one from ebay.

i pass by your a8 and the minis every other day as i blast up the hill in my s8.

The only thing I found with my factory job was that the 'v' shaped bits on the side of the removable bit had developed a little bit of rust, so it wouldn't seat itself home properly. A bit of work with a flate blade screwdriver (a convenient one in the toolkit, I was away camping at the time) and then it went in OK, but you definitely need to make sure it clicks into place, otherwise it's bye-bye trailer time.

entwisi was that a fixed tow bar or removalble?

I just phoned chesiretowbars and they have quoted £375 for a removalble with single electics. I was more than happy to pay £215, even £250 for inflation but not happy paying that much extra. Was it def cheiretowbars you used? Im really dispapointed now.

The company i had the non removable swan neck from was Towbars direct and it is made by GDW. Why would you pay anymore than £100 knowing that i bought one for £95? Oh it did cost a tenner for postage tho.

I do have one for sale, on my car at the moment for £280
