tow bar socket

I have VW trailer wiring on towbar and led lights on boat trailer. The warning symbol comes on with "check left tail light". I know this is triggered by led lights and vw sell an adapter to rectify , but it is quite expensive. As all my lights are working correctly on van and trailer when...

Hi all, I’ve came to use my (7 pin) trailer for the first time in a while and I’ve got a right hand indicator and side lights but no left hand indicator or brake lights. It was fitted and coded by me using a genuine loom and has been fine for 4 years until now. I have, however, fitted a new...

Hi, I have a detachable tow bar on my T6 unfortunately I do not have the detachable piece and need to purchase another. Can anyone help with identifying the brand as I can not find any brand markings. Thanks

So following some experiments over here I thought I'd write up making an adaptor to connect a charger to a 13 pin trailer socket. Caveat: This is presented as info for what worked for me, make your own judgement about if it works for you :thumbsup: What is this? In a fully wired 13 pin...

So today I have been tinkering with my towing socket and thought this might be useful info in a post for others. My van is a MY21 T6.1 Caravelle with full towing electrics from factory. (Edited to add mine is a single battery system) This is my experimental 13 pin plug. There are 4 grain of...

I've searched the forums & downloads section but to no avail, so I'll ask the collective. I have a camper conversion based on a panel van with factory fitted towbar & electrics. AFAIK, Pin9 in the towbar 13pin socket is a permanent 12v feed from the vehicle battery. If I'd had a factory 2nd...

Hi I’ve just joined as I have a problem with my 2018 T6 van. I had a towbar fitted and all was well whilst I towed a trailer with led lights but towing with normal bulbs appears to have overloaded a fuse. It would appear that they’ve wired both left and right hand trailer lights together at...

I'm going to look at a van at the weekend that has a tow bar fitted but it only has a 7 pin socket has anyone chaneged the seven in to 13 pin which i nees for my caravan and how easy is it to do is it just a matter of connecting a loom into the existing plugs in the van loom Regards

Factory Westfalia removeable tow bar fitted on 2016 Kombi. Pin 9 (permanent 12V) is connected but pin 10 (engine running 12V) is not. Is this "normal"? Best way to fix and where to take feed from? Going to be fitting leisure battery anyway so maybe best wait until then. Seems daft that this is...

Hi all, I have got a T6 lwb for work and started to fit things to help with day to day work. It has come with the 13pin tow bar. So I have made a led light with magnetic base to use as a work light and works excellent and just plugs into the towbar connected to the permanent 12v. I also made a...

I had a tow bar fitted at vw when I bought my t6 but it was fitted by an outside firm, I have now found that the pin no 10 (fridge ign live) is not working. Would it be ok to put a link wire from pin 9 perm live across to pin 10 , I know that if the fridge is switched on 12v and left on...

when a towbar is retro fitted with the 13 pin socket with factory rear parking sensors and camera highline alarm. Regarding the charging of the onboard battery in the Caravan. Does the T6 have to have a fancy CTEK split charger or does the battery charging go through the caravans onboard...

Hi guys, had a towbar fitted this week, a bossal removeable one with a right connections wiring kit. Got the van back and now the intermittent rain wipers won't work and also where the cruise control display is there is now an exclamation mark and cruise won't work. I can't take it back...
