Hi Grace, Yes you can definitely fit a bar to the Audi S5, but unfortunately not to the RS5 due to the vehicle not being Homologated to Tow. Also we do offer a Mobile Fitting Service in London. Many Thanks Jake

Jake, Many thanks for the prompt reply. Does "not homologated for towing" mean that I can't tow, and genuinely can't fit a towbar, or that it is just not supported by Audi? It's only to carry bikes and very occasionally tow motorbikes which are quite light. I guess they need to test that you can tow some enormous great huge heavy things like boats and horses etc. for homologation purposes. Will get an S5 if it's the only option but really wanted RS5 as so much nicer car and the fab engine no longer available in S5 version sadly, only RS5. Kind regards, Grace

Hi Grace, A Vehicle not being Homologated can be any of those really. The main reason for a vehicle would be down to Audi giving it a ZERO towing capacity and it can be down to the Exhausts, Chassis, Bumper Cuts or even the Gearbox. The S5 is able to Tow on the otherhand, so it looks like that may be the onlt option really. Cheers Jake

Jake, Many thanks. Understood. Will ponder and revert. I like the S5 too, but the V8 engine…… Kind regards, Grace

Hello Mr Cobb, If this towbar is supplied and fitted with 7 pin universal electrics the total price including VAT is £350, if 13 pin universal electrics are used the total is £400, if 7 pin dedicated electrics are used, and coded to your vehicle the total is £510.50, if 13 pin dedicated and coded the total is £555.57 Thank you.

Hi Derek. The detachable towbar that best matches your requirements is the Westfalia detachable towbar: http://www.pfjones.co.uk/a5-coupe-2007-detachable-tow-bar.html There is universal wiring which is the cheapest, needs to be spliced into the vehicles wiring but is perfectly safe or you could go for dedicated wiring which is a kit made for the vehicle (like the genuine kit) so it mostly plugs straight in and will enable any settings the vehicle has for example switch off parking sensors or activate trailer stability (Recommended for cars under warranty). With your car being so new, we do recommend fitting dedicated wiring kits as they are made specifically for the vehicle and mostly plug straight in, if you do not your main dealer could invalidate the manufacturers warranty. With the car you own it will need a download to calibrate your onboard computer, you can get this done at most garages and doesn't need to be done at a dealers. We deliver anywhere and we also do mobile fitting in most of the UK. Regards.

Hi Mike thanks for getting back to me, I have actually been at Audi this morning for another issue (rear-view mirror fell off apparently a common fault with A4 and 5's) I asked them about their equivalent tow bar which apparently is a Westfalia, I nearly fell over when they told it would cost £1900! The good news is though that it wont affect my warranty they tell me as long as the Audi type loom is fitted I take it the plug in type. Can you quote me for supply of the detachable towbar and the Audi type loom? And if you have a fitter somewhere in the Stirling Area as cost for fitted too please? Also would an appointed fitter be able to setup the on-board computer at the same time? Thanks in advance Derek

Hi Derek. Yes all the towbars we sell have the option to be fitted with dedicated electrics which do not void warrenty. The Westfalia Towbar http://www.pfjones.co.uk/a5-coupe-2007-detachable-tow-bar.html I recommended with dedicated electronics and mobile fitting is £440.50 with a 7 pin socket and £475.57 with a 13 pin socket. The prices include VAT. Your car though requires a software download for towbar fitting, so it does not interfere with the onboard electronics (parking sensors etc). We can do this for you as the towbar is fitted for £70, or you can get it done at any garage (does not have to be dealer as they charge much more). We also do 2 Fixed Towbars for your car at a lower price. http://www.pfjones.co.uk/tow-bars/audi-towbars/audi-a5-towbars/audi-a5-coupe-towbars.html If you have any more question feel free to message me back. Regards.

Hi Mike, I never did get round to getting this organised so I'm still looking to get this work done, seems you're the most competitive price wise in the country too, thought I'd check with you first to see if the price is still the same? Thanks in advance Derek

Hi There, i made this enquiry sometime ago but never did proceed with buying the towbar, I'm looking to get the OEM detachable type towbar (westfalia) with the Audi dedicated electrics, i only need the 7 pin type as i will be using this for a bike carrier only. Can you give me a shopping list for the correct parts i will need and also can you quote me again for one of your approved fitters please. Regards Derek

Hi Derek, I have just looked over the last e-mails for vehicle info, wow it's been almost a year. Luckily the prices haven't changed, Quotation for supply and fitting a Westfalia detachable Neck towbar, with dedicated 7 pin electrics fitted at your home or place of work £510.50 inc VAT and the software download for the wiring to work. http://www.pfjones.co.uk/a5-coupe-2007-detachable-tow-bar.html To make a booking please call 0161 886 5796 Kind regards

Hi Adam, thanks for getting back to me, price sounds ideal, just to verify a question about the fitting, this means the the fitter would use the audi section of the towbar loom? as the cars newish i don't want to splice into the loom and would prefer the plugin audi type install, there is also something that seems to be for the S5 some sort of plate for the electric socket to be fitted too? is this for S5 only or is there something the same or similar for the A5? would i be better with the 7 pin or newer 13 pin plug ? Derek

Hi Derek, yes the price includes the dedicated wiring kit, exactly the same brand that Audi would fit which will enable any towing settings the vehicle has. The different socket plate is only for the S5 models it's because the bumper is deeper, you don't need it for the other A5 models. Wiring kits are available in 7 pin or 13 pin sockets A 7 pin socket would power the stop, tail, indicators and fog (All the legally required lights). A 13 pin would also power a reverse light and provide power for a caravan fridge and power a leisure battery. Kind regards
