Hi,
Quote:
Your max tow for your car will likely be 1600Kg or there abouts. It is recommended that you tow not more than 85% of your cars kerb weight with you and full tank of petrol. Likely nose weight is 70Kg on the towbar. These are just guesses. You should check the manual for your max tow weight and weight of your vehicle. Have a look at these: Linky.... Linky.... Des. . .

Time for a towbar, methinks
Quote:
The 740 TDI Estate scored * and the 850R Estate scored ***** Granted that this web site evaluation was for a heavy caravan with a higher wind resistance, the 740 has done fine so far towing our twin axled braked trailer, although it hasn't been loaded with seriously heavy stuff. However I think a tow bar for the 850R is a good idea!

towbar carbuncle
can I suggest that with the 850R you pay the extra for a demountable towbar.
I didn't and wish I had.

tow away
It's purely aesthetic.
Car sometimes looks ugly with a towbar. Makes me wish I had gone for the demountable, but it was double the price!

Hopefully I've attached a pdf of the oil cooler, but does it work in series with the exisiting one in the radiator or is it a replacement?
