Not sure if you his isvrhe correct pls e to post this. I’m hoping someone can help me with some advice. I’ve just bought Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 diesel seL 4x4 150ps 7 seat manual, I had to get from uk stock to apparently avail of the best offers, plus the fact that I needed a car in a hurry coz someone crashed into me in my rapid which was written off. So when we were going through the final details I asked about a tow bar and was told as I was going from stock none were available with a tow bar but they could get one fitted for me, I wanted it as we have a plans to buy a caravan for next summer plus I wanted it for a bike rack. I paid deposit to secure the car over the weekend then returned to sign the paperwork the next week. I then decided to look for the towing capacity and found it could not tow according to the spec. I challenged the dealer on this and they told me no it was fine and got me the price to fit the tow bar. I found this thread two days before collecting the car, by which stage I knew the reg of the car, called skoda uk and asked them who also told me it was fine. Thinking that the dealer and Skoda uk knew what they were doing I assumed that this issue was sorted and the info I was getting online was out of date. I collected the car, got the tow bar fitted, my wife went to collect and I got her to check what the capacity was and she was told 1000kg, but she did comment that they seemed unsure.
Since then I’ve had a phone call from the dealer telling me that actually it is illegal for me to tow with the car, and not really to tell me much information as to why!!
I bought the car on Skoda finance, and am now wondering what am I going to do, the sales guy says he has to speak to his manger and get back to me. As far as I’m concerned I’ve been mis-sold the car, can I hand it back and get my money? Should they be swapping it for an automatic? I did ask all the questions before taking delivery.
