Fitting the towbar piece of cake seriously! I purchased an ANKAR flange tow bar for Touran the instructions to remove the bumper were with the kit, the Towbar replaced the rear behind bumper crash bar, bolting up was simple and only required loose assembly with final tightening by torgue wrench, the wiring was fed behind the replaced bumper and push into the car via a drain bung on the rear left corner. (cut made to bumper) Wiring used to be very simple but now these vehicles need bypass relays to avoid canbus errors and a split charge relay for charging and running a caravan battery, single N socket (BLACK) will require the bypass relay, I have done this at least 6 times now but even then needed to probe for my connections with a needle and a meter as Haynes totally useless and its wiring diagrams fit something but rarely what you drive. Take your vehicle to an auto sparks for this Job or as advised let them charge you for doing the whole thing I spent and afternoon bolting on the Bar and 4 hours the next day passing a fused 12v line to the rear to power the bypass and split charge relays as I fitted double electrics

Hi, thanks for your reply. They only work for a while. Here is a post I listed elsewhere which describes the issue. Hope you can shed some light. Thanks 2005 1.9 TDI Front wipers issue. Hi, looking to see if anyone has had this kind of issue before please? Or would know what to check. Ok I know that when the bonnet / Hood is open, the micro switch in the bonnet catch stops the 2 front wipers and the screen wash from working as standard. We initiate thought a faulty switch was causing our issue of the wipers acting very strange, however when they act strange and don't work the screen wash still works so that eliminates it being a faulty bonnet micro switch. Ok if using the wipers on the timer cycle wich runs then in incriminates the wipers fail after about 3 minutes or sometimes when you put the indicator or lights on, "They just STOP at the bottom in the correct stopped place" Then the only way to get them to work again is to stop the car, switch ignition off and also take key out, then key back in and start then wipers work for a while. Earlier we tried a different aproch. We flicked the wipers up to speed 1 and drove and it was great so after about 5 mins we switched the lights on, instantly the wipers sped up to speed 2,we tried moving the lever down to speed 1 and to off but the wipers kept going on speed 2. We stopped took the key out but they kept going on speed 2 with no key in ignition and lever down in off They only stopped when we put the key back in and turned it to the on position. I've also replaced the steering control medule, but still the same. Crazy wiper day help please. Thanks
