Hi guys, 

 

mk2 Octavia, vrs estate.

 

I am in the market to have a tow bar fitted and its more complex than i thought.haha

 

i have got my head around it all, i am just interested as i have read a lot about manufacture fiited safety features especially hitch yaw electronic stability, braking adjustments etc

 

my question is does the mk2 come with anything like this built into the ecu once a towbar is wired in, or is it the more modern mk3 onwards etc?

 

i have looked at my sticker in the boot as per a previous post i found on here, it is not prewired for towbar from factory "1D0"

 

kind regards

From a 2012 Octavia owners manual in the towing section:

 

Given a 2013 vRS will have ESP so assuming it's a suitable towing kit along with appropriate coding, then yes, you'll get trailer stabilisation 

You sir are amazing,

 

Cant thank you enough for this

 

This forum is great 

 

Kind regards
