I recently asked my VW service manager about the viability of using my 2004 Golf TDI 5 speed to pull a 5' x 8' utility trailer. We're talking small loads (under 1000 lbs) once or twice a month and short distances. After reading a number of posts here, I assumed he would say, "no problem." What he said was, "Don't do it. VW transmissions are really not designed for towing."Comments, please... !
