VW Tiguan Retractable Tow Bar: Full Electrical Restoration After Plug Damage
🔵
See how we resolved a major tow bar electrical fault on this VW Tiguan 🔗
This VW Tiguan arrived after the customer accidentally drove off with the 13-pin trailer plug still connected, resulting in snapped wiring and a broken plug on the retractable tow bar. The main issue was a completely non-functional tow bar neck, stuck due to electrical faults. Our technicians removed the rear bumper to access the damaged wiring and pins, carefully separated each connection, replaced blown fuses, and restored the tow bar’s operation before fitting new components. The tow bar system was fully tested and returned to safe, reliable working order.
- Key benefit: Restored safety and full towing functionality after electrical failure.

A VW Transporter T6 came in with a completely unresponsive Discover Media touchscreen. We replaced both the digitiser and LCD, restoring full display and touch functionality. Additionally, we performed a genuine App-Connect activation via Volkswagen’s official servers—no shortcuts or unofficial workarounds. The App-Connect licence is now permanently linked to the van, ensuring seamless operation through all future system updates.

VW Transporter: Flat-Bottom DSG Paddle Shift Steering Wheel Upgrade

We upgraded a VW Transporter with a flat-bottom steering wheel featuring integrated DSG paddle shifters. This retrofit allowed the driver to change gears manually without moving their hands from the wheel, offering greater control and a more engaging driving experience. The installation included options for custom re-trimming—leather, Alcantara, carbon fibre, and bespoke stitching—completed in about an hour with no coding required for paddle functionality.
- Key benefit: Enhanced driving performance and personalisation.
