i have a MTM big turbo conversion 2002 S3 on H&R Coilovers and H&R adjustable anti roll bars.its on 18" wheels. Its VST's old car from here. i want to tow a mk2 golf track car with it but i want to see if many hav towed a car with anything with similar spec and how it was????
Also i want to get a detachable tow bar that is fully invisable and no cutting required. Any ideas on this and part numbers etc.

RE: towing a car transporter
Ive towed my track car with my A3 Tdi, It was fine, although as I had a heavy car tranporter trailer I had to watch I wasnt over weight.
My track car is only 800kg so it was ok. Max A3 towing weight is 1500kg from memory and 60kg nose weight. I have a Bosal detachable tow bar......
Although I have to say with the A3 being lowered, on 18s and our car transporter being quite large, it did look rather odd, but all the nose weights axle weights and total weight were well within legal limits.
If your car has a big turbo and a little laggy you may have difficulty and need to use the gears, even wiith the TDI I had to cruise in 4th sometimes.
