Hi - can someone pls confirm for me - the fitting under the rear bumper with the red plug in, is a standard item on a D3 - and this is what the removable towbar plugs into ???
Have looked on ebay and most removable towbars are about a third of the price than from the dealer...
Is there anything else that is required, with the exception of electrics ??
kind regards

Hi,
Yes, the red plug is where the removable tow bar goes in and no, you don't need anything else apart from the electrics

Hubby fitted our tow bar at the weekend took a couple of hours and jobs a good un, we was pre warned that it may need programming but we never had any error messages  went to the van and checked all the electrics ok, all lights and the fridge work. 8) happy days.
