Tow a VW....

Oh, the regular VAG trolls are welcome to comment.
 
I would never do that. I stand to be corrected but isn't the max towing weight for most cars 85% of the car's weight? I suppose the Golf may fall under that but I would risk buggering something up in my car... Call your ins, they always have free towing :P
 
Eish! A towbar on a Z4...

Apart from that, it looks like a racing ****i they're towing, maybe it's not licensed for road use.
 
notice how it's a vw racing car not a korean one :p

haha hate those golfs but just saying :)

Never heard of that. If I can easily push a 1.3 ton car I don't see why it would be a hassle to tow it. I've towed heavier vehicles than my own before.
Towing a car actually feels much lighter than driving a car with four passengers and a boot full of stuff.
 
I wonder if there was some kind of event on the West Coast this past weekend because I saw another racer, '85 Corolla, on the back of flatbed trailer hitched to a Hilux.
 
*shock*
*horror*
Someone is towing a RACING car

:whistle:

Fail attempt to make VW look unreliable
 
I drove a VW for a while, nothing wrong with them back then, good cars.
Now why don't you VAG Trolls go smash up a Lambo to get some attention?
 
Everything was going so well....

and then....



Like flies around a t#rd, so are VW fanbois around a VAG.

I think it has something to do with the chassis - I know it states in my cars manual that it can't be used for towing at all due to possible chassis damage.


:D

I'm not sure how the max towing mass is calculated.

On my Kia Cerato it's 1200kg braked and the vehicle only has a mass of 1242kg so that's nearly 100% of the vehicle mass.
Then take the Toyota Fortuner 3.0 D-4D 4x4 for example.
It has a vehicle mass of 2560kg but it is only rated to tow 1500kg braked.
