Hello, I am presently looking into buying a used VW Passat Estate. Probably a 2015 plate.
I have been reading some reports advising of issues with the fitting of towball . Factory fitted one too close to the car. ( Detachable or out of sight fitted ) Also if do not have a VW set up it invalidates any warranty.
The other issue was that non VW recommended fitted tow bars means that the Trailer Stability Programme (TSP) will not operate.
Most of the reports I have seen were posted about 2014. I wondered if problems still exist on the B8 models 2015 onwards ?
