Hello from Sweden
Hi nta16, Thank you for your input, I haven't found any luck by searching any forums, which I have found many times before. This forum has helped me alot for the past 7 years with our Skoda. I have done all preventive and corrective maintenance on the car myself so far. I posted in the forum you suggested hoping to get some inputs. Best regards, Fredrik

Westfalia towbar wiring kit on Skoda Fabia 2018
Hello, Crossposting from the Fabia forum, hope it is ok. The car is a Skoda Fabia 2018 Manufactured October 2017. I have installed a dedicated towbar and wiring kit from Westfalia, 317 114 300 113. Link to PDF can be found here: https://www.westfalia-automotive.com/fileadmin/pdf/e_anlagen/317/e317114391101.pdf On page 24, it says to unplug pin 10, but there is not a cable to that "port". Instead, there is a green/yellow cable connected to the port beside it, picture attached. I thought it might be an error from westfalias side, so I connected the green/yellow wire instead. (I think this is my issue. ) I proceeded to follow the instruction and finished the installation, the only other deviation is that I connected the ignition power to the wiring kit from the radar fuse instead (Step 28 in westfalias instruction) After installation, I started VCDS and activated the towbar via CAN gateway - Enable 69-Trailer. When I tried to connect to the trailer module, I got "Failed to connect" to the trailer module, VCDS could not find the trailer module. My question is, which cable should I connect to instead? Or do I have other faults? Westfalias instruction does not specify which colors the cable connected to port 10 has, so I am stumped as I do not have a wiring diagram for the car. I have tried to connect the towbar to a trailer, the taillights do light up, but turn signals, brake light and other functions do not work. I am very grateful for any suggestions and inputs, thanks in advanced. Best regards, Fredric

Hello from Sweden
Hello, I'm from Sweden and currently drive a Skoda Fabia 1.0 tsi we bought new. I like to tinker with it, I have installed a lightbar behind the grille and auxiliary reverse lights. I sometimes try to hypermile with it and can go as low as 0.36 l/10km for 300 km journeys. I recently installed a towbar, which I have some troubles with the wiring, I'd like to get some help with that. I have it as another post in this forum. Best regards, Fredric
