absolutely, should be plenty of power from the engine to tow with

Could the petrol engine tow a light trailer?

Hi...welcome to the Forum In general, the diesel Sharan engine is a good one but not used in built up areas where it can clog up over time. The petrol engine therefore would be a better option for local driving

Passat cc reverse camera stuck open
Volkswagen Owners Club replied to Cc diesel's topic in Technical Help
HI....welcome to the Forum I'm not sure on this one, would probably contact your VW dealer and see if there is a revised version that resolves this issue. Seems to be an issue with this camera across the range so surely they must have revised it over time -
I'm debating whether to get a petrol Sharan. I had a diesel Sharan that I bought just as the emissions scandal came out. I swore I'd never buy another VW diesel but we loved the Sharan. Is the Petrol Sharan a reasonable option?

Hi, thanks for reply but it seems this part is only available from VW dealers! ( hence reason I wondered if the MK5 silencer would fit with minor mods)

Hi Rob Common problem this one, but can't seem to find any definitive answer but suggested faults lie in the Haldex controller or even the oil level being low in the unit....worth checking out everything related to the electrical connections to and from the unit. Let us know what you find

Auxiliary port location
Volkswagen Owners Club replied to paradoxelite's topic in Volkswagen Golf Club
Hi....welcome to the Forum The auxiliary port is at the back of the unit and you would need to acquire one of these to fit into it once you have removed the unit and found somewhere to route it to (e.g. the glovebox) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Seat-Skoda-Aux-IN-Input-Adapter-for-IPOD-MP3-/270727493449?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f089db749 -
