Hmmm thats incorrect. I am taking about PF Jones specifically where you select the wiring options you want. If you just buy the vehicle specific kit, it doesn't come with the harness for battery charging and the fridge. Other websites or OEMs might do it differently. Just to be clear 🤣

I would ask if it does. If you have the 4x4 version then it will have one. But if you look under the bumper, if there is no cut out there already, it won't have the electrics setup ready. I found a local guy on here to do my coding. Other dealers or garages, even VAG specialists wouldn't do it. I don't understand why as it's 3 options to change!! But I would search the VCDS list on here and find someone local to you to do it for a beer or 2!! It will take them 5 mins!!

Yeah the bumper comes off fully. It isn't a difficult job or even fiddly to be honest. I would make sure you have a torque wrench though for the fixings. I fully recommend PF Jones for all of your kit and yes get the vehicle specific wiring kit. When you remove your bumper you will see a cut out line already on there for you to follow, rather than use the template they send. When you come to buy the electric kits, the vehicle specific kit that will run from the boot, down the drivers side to the footwell for the fuse box....is for lights, ESP, sensors etc. This is the one that you will need to get coded in on VCDS. Then there is a universal kit add on for the battery that runs from the boot, down the passenger's side, through the firewall to the battery. This connects to the vehicle specific harness in the boot via a protection relay. This will charge a leisure battery and turn the fridge on. So the question is, do you need that bit and if not, then you can always add it easily at any time. If you get any questions then please just give me a shout, happy to help.

Superb MK2 Estate - Towbar fitment I am using PF Jones Brink fixed towbar and vehicle specific electrics. This has been a mammoth job so far. The instructions and technical support has been brilliant if anyone is thinking of buying from them. Towbar - simple to fix on if you have a good set of tools and torque wrench. Lights electrics - bit more challenging, all fitted and running from the boot, down the right to the fuse box at the side of the drivers steering wheel. Hooked onto the canbus network. Power electrics - instructions just say fit to the battery power and run down the left side ok the car to the boot 🫣 Glovebox out, found a grommit under the windscreen to feed the wires through and removed all the trim down the left to the boot. These wires have now connected to the lights electrics and is monitored by a battery regulator relay. Jobs left - Coding the electrics, this is the moment of truth 🤣 found a very nice man to help locally with his VCDS. Put the trim back into the car and cut the bumper to fit around the towbar. I got quoted £400 to fit all of this and I wanted to have a go at fitting myself. I have really enjoyed doing this so far and would urge anyone to have a go. But make sure you have a good set of tools, torque wrench, wire strippers and access to VCDS. Otherwise, pay someone else 🤣

I have my trusty 1.6tdi estate and we are on 370 000 miles now. It still drives really well and doesn't miss a beat really (finding some wood to touch...) It just depends on what you want, but dont be put off by 200k, probably find it was a taxi, in which case would have been well maintained to go through their extra taxi checks.

AHH yes I meant 13pin!! Interesting, was it expensive? Glad you still get to see the caravan is still there! Ha.

Hi all, I am looking to fit a towbar to my 2012 Skoda superb estate and I have no idea what to buy! I have seen information around Westfalia and PF Jones towbars but there seems to many options including 7 pin wiring and 15pin!? Any help would be great and if anyone is selling one, even better!

Hi, @windy1978I am in Yeovil and could do with your help with the VCDS please?
