towing

Hi Guys currently have a mk3 1.6 Diesel that’s remapped that I use for towing a trailer that weighs about a tonne or so. I’m looking at upgrading to the 1.5 TSI EVI FR DSG just wondering if knows can you get the folding towbar fitted to these cars and if you’ve towed with one before how well it...

I need to have a towbar fitted to the back end of my pristine FR hatch. This was all going to plan until I checked the fitting guides of a few of them and discovered that every single one of them required cutting a hole partially into the visible part of the rear bumper! (unlike the ST which has...

Last weekend we used the (optional extra) foldaway towhook on the Cupra Ateca. Mrs perelaar insisted on visiting Ikea for new cupboards, so trailer rented, and off we went. Single axle trailer, about 2,5m long. Tip: don't go to Ikea on Saturday afternoon. On the way there with an empty trailer...

My front towing eye is missing out of my spare :( I need to tow the car on Tuesday, I have one option of borrowing one from someone with an LCR, but I dont really know him. Does anyone know if anyother eye will fit on the socket of an LCR? Like a Golf? thanks

Anyone any ideas where I can get the plastic cover that goes over the towing eye on the rear bumper. Did not realise it was loose and it has fallen off! Cheers

Are the small metal retaining clips available from Seat? Photos below for ease of reference:

ok so i can't start my car because the alternator's ribbed belt is broken, and i need to tow my car to garage, but after i looked at my manual, and mine is FR, and the front bumper is different to the one the manual, n it says on manual remove the right cover of the inferior part of the front...

Hello all, Well, by the end of this week I'll be a proud owner of an '02 1.9Tdi SE - should've collected it today but the LHF window mechanism packed up and the garage are changing it. Grrr - at least it will be done by Friday. Anyway, upon getting our new family wagon, I'll be fitting a...

hi, had a brief look through and can only find cupra towing info.... anybody towed with a 1.6 mk1 leon? I have a lightweight (800kg) caravan. The book says it can do it in theory, but just wandered if you had any comments?

Trying to sort out a tow bar for my FR. I know which towbar i want. The question is how do i find out if my car can take the dedicated wiring connectors that are on the seat site. Dealer says i have to take it to them to look (30 mins away), i cant beleive they cant check the build state...

Does anyone know hoe much these are as mine has gone missing, dont know if anyone has nicked it or it has fallen off!

Firstly how do you remove the honeycomb grill on a facelift LC to find the towing eye recess? Reason being the wife borrowd the Seat last night (yes she did) and went off road with it. Not happy. Very minor damage including the honeycomb grill (gone). Also another point. Why is the front...

What's the 2.0tdi sport dsg like towing? We used to caravan some years ago and are thinking of doing so again. Any particular quirks - and do you need additional oil cooling?

Afternoon all! I have looked all around the front of the car looking for a clip in the front bumper to try and find where the tow rope can be attached, but i cannot find it! Does the mk2 cupra actually have one?! If so, where on earth is it? Well not on earth, on the car, but you all know what i...

Hi, I have just bought a 210bhp LCR on Monday as a fast road car but also with the view of being able to tow with it. Upon getting home and looking through the owners manual, I found an appendix for the Cupra R which said towing was not recommended as it would cause the engine to...

I just can't seem to get one for my Cupra.... It's the pre facelift model and it's on the front driver's side. Had no luck with Seat :( Car looks stupid lol.

Ok guys, my clutch pedal went yesterday and as I was only ½ mile from home I got my dad to tow me back to my house. Anyway I screwed my towing eye into the socket on the front of the car and tightened it, but as I was being towed along it gave way under the strain and I couldn’t fit it back...

Anybody tow a caravan with a Leon? Just wondering whats siszes of caravans could the Leon pull, mines is the 150tdi so engine wise its ok but whats the limits for the chassis. Its would be a braked van so whats the limits? Also can you get twin electrics with the cupra R bumper?
