Just 2 set the Record straight...It was in my Second post that all I needed was the Right Tools Easy 2 sort.. All that was forth coming From all other Members who commented apart from 2 which were Helpful...Was Snipping Sarcastic and very Moronic Stupid comments about any thing other than the Original Post about who I should considered was correct..So 4 all the Parasitic Single Celled Muppet's who have a Massive Void in there own Personal lives which makes them want 2 throw Rocks at any thing They don't Understand... If the above Fits U perfectly Pls don't Respond Comment or Bother throwing Rocks Stones Etc... Just Please don't waste my time or your own life Skills.. So little as they R...Have a Nice Years And give Yourself's a well needed Hug.. By Your Self's...

This is 4 information only.. 1st thanks once again Langers2K.. I had already sorted how I was going 2 get the Tow-Bar working.. Which it is now.. About Half Hour 4 me .. My mate came round we Interfaced found 3 Tc where I only had 2 last week.. Figured out why.. Checked Ecu and the ASS system.. Figured out how to Code the Ecu Etc.. Then returned it back with faults.. Have proved its not the wrong or Faulty Ecu.. So Now going to Sort out Dealership and there crap workshop.. One small problem solved with the new Tc we found as it relates to another fault we have been told N / F / F.. ( No Fault Found ) for those whom don't have a Glue.. Rights Tools Easy 2 sort...

Hi Langers2k.. 1st thank U very much 4 Replying / Understanding my Post and a Need 4 some Help.. Will make another Paragraph 4 all the English Language Master's.. Thank U 4 the kind offer and yes U Obviously have a clear and full understanding regards messing about with the Mapping parts of the Vehicle's Systems while its under Warranty.. Now I have persuaded a Friend of mine 2 borrow his firms Sun OBE11 Inter-face so we can both have a look at the Diagnostics 4 Tc's & possible Coding.. Not till we R in there wood I be comfortable 2 Re-Program anything.. As I now know the ECU is about £200 to Replace.. Am also thinking of possible Up-Grading my own OBEII Reading.. Now I will Give U a Trophy EmoJi hopefully sending U up the Grand Ranking... As I do fully Appreciate the Time & Effort taken to make Sensible & Relevant Comment / Reply.. Thanks will Very Kind Regards Keith Mac...

Thank U... As yourself.. Not sure where 2 Turn.. As I could end up with problems with the V/W warranty if I get a Auto Electrician 2 help.. In particular 2 the View replacing faulty EC Units if they are U/s from the start... How do U prove its not your fault its faulty after attempting to Reprogram the Unit.. Catch 22...

Morning,, Not going 2 Use 2 many Long grouping of words as this may help members who need the Ladybird book lay out... Ok I have gathered there seems 2 B a school boy mentality going on..Only reading & Taking out of a post what U may understand or just poke with sticks what U don't full understand.. Is Not Helpful.. Yet would probably make U feel important and Probably In Involved Just Copying & Pasting.. My Original Post was Made up with Vehicle Type / Problem on Vehicle / My ability's / What I have done to my Vehicle / Where & what the Dealerships Have done & I have Been Told.. Then I posted My Question as what & whom do I Believe , Hoping Sensible comments from People who have experienced same or Similar.. It was at the Bottom / End of Post.. Yet I have been Ridiculed and & had my writing style pocked at..Not Reading and Digesting my Post.. Which has Created this some what None Existence I have a Aggressive and Rude Tone 2 other Members even before any replies to my Post.. I wood suggest some should have a close look at your own Replies the wording / grouping Etc ... Then I have my own Ability's questioned along with been Accused of Lying about what I have done... Even when offering to Prove it.. Also when making Reference to working at Millbrokes,Using the " If U Know What It Is " was if U care 2 read again,,Not Made as a Direct or & Aimed at any 1 Member by Name or Associated 2 that Particular Posting.. A lot of people don't even understand what it is never mind where.. I find using Top Gear helps 4 some Thou.. Given The Reply from Lowedb with Ref 2 Millbrokes.. Only the Track drivers where on a Daily - Weekly Employment.. If your Face Fit U could come back as Agency employment,,They were not Allowed to work on any Vehicles.. Yet there was Some Vehicles Destined for Royal Use.. But Behind High Fencing and Locked Corner of the Grid...So Not Sure on His Remakes... So going Forward .. I can't fix this Problem with out the proper VAG Access / Programming.. I know this from the Start.. So unless someone has come across a Laptop Interface allowing me 2 access the ECU programming.. So the List Posted by ZacDaMan is Not alot of Use.. I do how ever Thank Him for his Effort in Helping.. Although I don't appreciate this Observation from him as coming Late to the Conversion and not Reading all Postings Before Properly its Not Warranted.. " Great job deciphering. What I don't understand is why OP has such an aggressive demeanour towards people that are just trying to understand what they're saying. " Now My Suggestion 2 all the Members who Initially Replied 2 my Original Post Bar Possibly 1.. Read the Post and Read again and Understand before Making Comment..DON'T Treat Members New 2 the Group as Children.. Or Just Copy & Paste Information Blindly .. In other words If U don't Know Then U don't KNOW .. Stop Throw stones at things YOU DON'T Understand .... Sarcastic Comments Normal come from People afraid of Not belonging as they Don't Know.... There has been 2 members of the group who have come across as Sensible and Helpful.. To which I thank U.. I don't have 2 Name U as U will Know who U are... I can't think of any Comments for the Rest of You who commented on My Post.. Other Than while U concentrated your efforts on My Post's U have Left Other Post's Alone... Where needed Find some1 who will gave U a Hug.. Have a Very Good Day and The Rest of a Good Weekend.. Thanks Keith Mac...

Not Sure where or what the Question is or Even Refers to... No I will not seek out a Auto Electrician.. Yes its a Proper Genuine V/W Electric operated Swivel Tow-Bar... Which Needs to be Inter-grated with the Kodiaq Body system.. It use's a Code TOWAB yet not having a Full Blown OBE11 Inter-Face unit.. I can Read / Clear codes reset service Lamps..Do running Test Etc.. Yet I can't Access the Right parts 2 Reprogram / Code up elements of the Vehicle and its System's..It seems Skoda & V/W have it set up with out the Right software under Licence It remains Factory only at Mo.. Also it comes with 3 years Warranty which is Nil and Void if ****ed about with.. The supplying Dealer of car & Tow-Bar double checked the correct Information / Parts on My Vehicle.. The Local Dealer is saying the Ecu for the Tow-Bar is incorrect.. There are 2 x Ecu's.. 1 for the EU market and the Other only Australian Market.. They Had tried the Parts fitted are not of Skoda / V/W origin yet sent them the Dealership Invoice which shut them up.. Agreed Dealerships don't like to work and they need things pointed out to them as They are all only Fitters Now..1 of the Reasons I got out when I saw the Writing on the Wall..We have a slight suspicion the local Dealership might have started out with wanting to charge us ,, As they are not the supplying Dealer and or they may think its a Mobility Car, We paid good hard Cash out right £30.000 in Total ,, My Wife is Now wheelchair Dependent it was in the Rear when they had the Vehicle on Monday just gone..Its then Bitten them in the Ass and they are Struggling to sort it out.. As I have been told Several Direct Lies over this and other Issue's.. There are 2 Version's of the Kodiaq which U can't even fit a Tow-Bar 2 until its Warranty Expires, They are from 2017 onward which only Relate 2 Getting Emission's Past in the EU Market..If U are concerned.. Look in the Door Jam O/S front door Bottom of B Pillar ( That's the Centre Post Between the Door's ) there should be a Small Sticker with Weights on it..Giving Axle weight and Towing weights.. If that sticker is not present any where on the Vehicle.. Then that Renders the Vehicle unable 2 Tow any thing by Law.. Just a small heads up and a bit of Information... As for the Comment from Dave Miller about " having Tow-Bar and Not Having a Hole In Bumper " you must have a Pretty early version Probably before the 1st face lift 2017 as all Tow-Bars fitted with that Bumper Require some form of Hole which its a Fixed or Detectable Tow-Bar.. Right up to the Electric type I have as it needs a Big Arch to move in.. Just ask and Like I have already stated I am more than happy to send Images of the Tow-bar Fitted 2 Our Vehicle and I will Even Post the Installation Booklet as I have No more Use for it..U can have it with Pleasure so U can use as Reference Material.. Thanks Keith Mac...

So as its being pointed out about my Righting Skills and my own Ability's.. Apart from the Title of Master Mechanic / MOT Inspector along with shed loads of All Sorts of different Qualifications .. Then Changing My whole Expertise By going back 2 Collage and Becoming 17 Edition.. Oftec Registered.. All this with out Real Qualifications on leaving School as I was one of the 1st Registered Dyslexic Pupils in the Education System in the 1970s..So Am sorry about my Disadvantage's and if Its caused all Types of Offence's 2 all the Learned People / Members with my Outrageous Writing... All I can Gather from all your Request's / Remarks.. I have this Forum Completely Wrong, As Silly me I thought there would Be owners of similar Vehicles with Possible the Same Faults..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millbrook_Proving_Ground.. This is a Link 2 Wikipedia.. If U watch Top gear ie Clarkson / May then U wood have seen,, The big round 5 lane High Banked Bowel or the Beligan Prave.. Cobbled Road.. If its still there and is use.. Its the Second Biggest car / Vehicle Proving Ground next to the other owned also by GM in the USA..

If yours a Gen question I will respond.. My back is up given the stupid Moronic Replies and as My son has Explained are from Keyboard worriers whom have a Little bit of Knowledge / Information and are quick to criticise and Pop and things they don't either know or understand.. The Rock throwing ability of Moron's..So if you wish to Know I will help you out.. Thanks..

Well If it helps I can send U pictures of the Bumper and a Copy of the Instruction / Installation Booklet.. As Not how it would Work with Out a Large gap / Hole for the Drop Ball part of the Tow-Bar to be Used...Helpful???

Ok.. Am very Clad All of you who Replied to my Question / Post.. This is Me Thanking all of you..Yet some of you have being as Helpful as Ashtrays on a Motor Bike and for The rest after popping at my writing style.. All I wish for is at Best Now a Bridge to Far... Also given Some one possible is questing my ability's to fit a Standard Tow-Bar with the Hardest part Inserting 4 x Plugs in to a Plastic Box and Mounting a Tow-Bar Using Pre-Drilled Holes and Cutting a Hole in a Plastic Bumper..Not Forgetting I can follow simple Instruction's with Pictures... Not Having a Problem when I was Employed as A Test Development Engineer at MillBrookes if you understand what that is.. My only Fault I would understand is not having Access to the Tech Dater a Vag Reader.. Then Yes my Ability's Suck.. I gave Up working in any forms of Mechanical Engineering about 20 years Ago.. As I went down a Different Track.. So Thanks for all your None Advice .. Please Only Comment on my Post with Possible Solutions or If you have had any Dealings or Similar Faults...

Hi Guys.Norm Opening,,Just got our Kodiaq Brand new 02/2020..

Vauxhall...Now its my understanding that U get Car with out Towbar .. Car which is Per-pared ( Wiring front 2 Back Etc. ) No Towbar and Car with Towbar..Easy.. Ours Is the Pre-pared Version. So only had 2 Fit the Heavy Bit and Plug the Tow bar and Ecu in the wires which were down 2 the N/s Boot area and the Switch ... Told it was Plug & Play..Had small Dought about not having to marry / code the Ecu to the rest of the Vehicle..Fitted it & reconnected Battery..Towbar N/w Working at all and now the front Assist Is Not Active can't even turn off on... So had local Dealership 2 Correct..Q £125 + Vat ( 1.2 Book Time ) 2 code ?? Yet have been told its a Book time of 0.5 Half hour ...Also told there should B No connection between the front Assist and the Towbar so must B separate fault and they can't code the Towbar... Who and What Do I believe ?? Also There is No Tc Codes from the OBEII ??? Also they Can't Code Marry the Towbar 2 the Vehicle... ???? Any Peeps willing 2 help out Ex Mechanic Pls... U can't B 2 Tech will Understand...Thanks very much... Keith Mac..
