Does anyone have any views on towing a 1300 Kg caravan with Octavia 1.6. Any comments would be gratefully received.

TIA

I would say not a very good idea, caravan would/could be heavier than the car which is bad news RE stability . The general advice for first time towers is a weight ratio no more than 85% .

have you looked on here .. https://towcar.info/GB/towing.php to match car &caravan ?..

the other point is the 1.6 may well be lacking in enough power to be towing that sort of weight.

Welcome to the forum.

Maybe worth saying what age of Octavia and what power, 105, 110 or 115ps. & asking in the Octavia section.

I used a copy of this MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU0490 if anyone else needs, the site I think I had it from was mibsolution.one is currently down though. I was wary of the copy I had and passage of time, but it worked fine installed, I just have to clear the fault code ( have odbeleven but pro ran out and doesn't cover the adaption by looks of it) Excuse the state of my interior I don't use the car that much and could use a vaccuum.

Anyone with more than one car ?

vRSAnt · Sunday at 20:124 days

Well strange predicament due to dads age and alzheimers diagnosis he shifted his car to me. Pretty damn nice car 1.8T DSG 2014 less than 20k, packed with as much as mine has and more besides like adaptive cruise, folding mirrors. Not sure I need 2 though longer term tho....useful for now though as my petrol vRS similar vintage really could do with a clutch <80k miles so I am grateful for it regardless ! Not exactly the slow option either, obviously not quite as good as a 2.0T but better eco
