because their careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to
ensure vehicle road-worthiness and safety. In addition, the normal basic safety
precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a matter of course, be
observed.

2.1 Factory fitted towing attachment


If the vehicle was supplied with a factory fitted towing attachment,
everything with regards to the technical and legal requirements
has already been taken care of.
It should be noted that from the start of 1988 a »13-pin« trailer
socket is installed in place of the conventional »7-pin« socket.
This new socket allows retroactive connection of additional elec‐
trical consumers from the trailer that had no means of connection
in the previous socket, e.g. a reversing light.
If the trailer to be towed has a »7-pin« connector, an adapter cable
available from Volkswagen dealerships can be used.

2.2 Retrofitted towing attachment


If the vehicle is to be equipped with a retrofit towing bracket, the
following should be observed:

Retrofitting a trailer detector control unit - J345- is possible in


essence but not easy because it has to be connected to the CAN
data bus of the vehicle. The control unit then has to be coded with
the aid of “Guided fault finding” ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.

Note

It is recommended that alternative control units available on the


open market and not approved by Volkswagen are avoided with‐
out exception. If equipment of this type is installed, the guarantee
will become void. Generally, these are connected to the tail lights
and not integrated in the electrical system of the vehicle, which
makes far more sense. The consequence is that faulty diagnoses
in the bulb failure warning system or malfunctions can occur,
among other things. Furthermore, dimmed bulbs (combined
brake and tail light) cannot be actuated.

Coding is described in ⇒ Electrical system; Rep. gr. 97 ; Trailer
detector control unit J345 .

2.6 Engine cooling


Since higher demands are placed on the engine cooling system
when a trailer is being towed, the cooling system is uprated in
conjunction with factory fitted towing bracket if this is a technical
necessity. This is carried out, for example, by installing a more
powerful or second radiator fan and/or larger radiator.
The cooling system should also be uprated if a towing bracket is
retrofitted and provision for this has not been made in the factory.
If this is not done, overheating of the cooling system cannot be
ruled out if the engine is placed under extreme load (gradients,
high ambient temperatures, heavy trailer). During conversion, the
parts listed in ETKA (electronic parts catalogue) must be used for
engine cooling in combination with trailer towing. In addition, the
work instructions from the relevant workshop manuals must be
followed.
It is possible to choose not to uprate the cooling system, but only

trailer, glider trailer). The actual trailer weight, however, must
then be 1900 kg if the drawbar load is at least 75 kg.
• For caravans and sports trailers only (e.g. horse box, boat
trailer, glider trailer). The actual trailer weight, however, must
then be 2075 kg if the drawbar load is at least 75 kg.
