- '15 Golf DSG, '13 JSW DSG surrendered to VW, '03 Golf 2 door manual
Headed from Minnesota to Florida next month and a heck of a deal popped up on a motorcycle and sidecar in Illinois. Problem is my trailer hitch is on my '03 TDI, and I don't take that any farther than the 200 miles AAA will tow it home.
So my best option is to put a hitch and trailer wiring on my '15 Golf TDI with DSG. Now VW says towing with a DSG in the U.S. is verboten... But I could always claim the hitch is for a bike rack or cargo tray, and make the wiring easily converted back to stock. Heck, some of the states don't even require trailer lights if the rear lights aren't blocked by the trailer or load.
So on the odd chance of anything breaking, has anyone actually had VW deny a warranty claim for towing with a DSG?
