Anyone had an approved Škoda towbar fitted by approved Škoda installers recently - what is the ball park cost ?

 

I’m considering buying a new but already built 200hp Sportline - it dosent have a tow bar. I need one for bike rack and I can’t seem to get a conclusive answer if I can fit an aftermarket bar to a pcp car or does it need to be Škoda approved and if so how would you know it is Škoda approved and if either affect the warranty at all not being factory fitted + costs ?!

 

I should add that the dealer have stated they don’t get involved in fitting tow bars.

If it is a MY21 then you could face problems. 

 

We asked our dealer last October when we bought the car.  I'm afraid you'll be looking at over £1k.

 

I would suggest contacting Phil Taylor Towbars on 02392594675. I went with them on the recommendation of many other Briskodians, and they were absolutely superb! I had a PCT towbar installed on my Yeti, based on their expert recommendation. They have a panel cutter, and can make the precise bottom panel cutout, with fitted lid insert, that would normally be made by the dealer. (No other aftermarket installer I've seen offered this option.) They do the standard Westfalia towbars that come stock from the dealer, but can recommend other options as well, depending on your model vehicle. I was looking for a removable towbar with the maximum possible nose weight, to mount a bike carrier. Your mission may vary.

 

Best of luck!

Towbar express fitted an aftermarket one for me on my driveway (pics in this thread: )

Cost was £780

I fitted an aftermarket one to my sportline on PCP.. no issue at all. I just rang and they sent me an approval letter while I was on the phone.. Mine was £450 for detachable..
