But for clarity - mine isn't sprung loaded either, and sticks out all the time. And I'm not even sure that its a genuine one, it looks like the line drawing in Dezzy's picture. It looked genuine enough for a couple of Spanish traffic policeman who currently have a thing about type approval for towbars/bike racks/lights/numberplates. It looks just like Dezzy's GDW tow bar pic above

I had a genuine, swan necked, factory-fitted tow bar on my 2.8 A8 and the rear skirt did have a notch cut in it. IIRC, the genuine ones are Westfalia (?) and, if you check on the web, this model needs a notch to be cut if you have it fitted post-factory.
To be honest, this type was a real PITA! The 'spring-loading' mechanism stuck all the time, so you couldn't lock it properly. I had a really scary experience when my '8 and Davids8 trailer parted company. As I turned right into the dump, the trailer didn't, and it continued down the road alone. ![]() I had to keep leaving it to soak in WD40 all the time to get it to lock properly.

Now £199 including UK courier.
I'm off back to France in five days so it will be in the lock-up until next year, maturing nicely like fine wine. Free D2 handbook and wallet to the lucky purchaser ![]()

Oh dear! When I bought, I paid £300 plus shipping. Now I guess, if anyone wants it, its free if you collect

Hi,
I read the posts stating that the towbar would not be available till next year (so now in 2014). I am interested in purchasing it, would you be willing to ship it to the United States? Thanks |
