Has anybody had a towbar fitted to their 2005/06 A4 Avant, every company I have phoned around Southampton have said 'oh we don't have them for the new model, as the electrics are a pain in ar$e'. Without the towbar it will be no racing for me this season, please don't say get an Audi one as they want £1500

Edited as usual for my terrible spelling

www.towequipe.co.uk fitted one to my A3 and seemed pretty competent and knowledgable. Not local to Soton though

Can you not get the audi one as parts and get it fitted elsewhere?

I am sure they will want stupid money just for the kit, but will give it a try. I need to get sorted or the race car will be sitting in the garage, with its new engine doing nothing

I had the same problem (being based in Bath) so drove up to them one Saturday morning. Fortunately I have friends near there so could combine it with a trip to see them. I guess it depends how desperately you want it..

Bit of a hike, but these guys gave me a good price last year when I looked into it for my S4. It invalidated my extended warranty so didn't go for it at the time.
