Expert Answers about Volkswagen Touareg


  • Tire Cable Chain Fit for 2011 Volkswagen Touareg
  • The Pewag tire cable chains you referenced, part # PW2029C is indeed a fit for your 265/50-19 tires. Although the # PW99 adjusters you mentioned would work, I prefer the # TCMA2 adjusters, because they're more substantial and would last longer. The # PW2029C chains would be ideal for emergency use. However, before attempting to install the cable chains, check your owner's manual and be sure to abide by any recommendations or prohibitions VW offers regarding chain usage. When you receive...

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Without a Factory Installed 7-way
  • Since you indicated that you do not have a wiring bundle under the dash then you most likely do not have a factory installed 7-way towing package for your 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. To establish a 7-way that will activate through the brake controller you will initially have to establish a 4-pole connection then convert that to a functional 7-way, and finally properly install a brake controller. To install a 4-way on your 2011 Tourageg you will need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Can Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars Be Used to Tow a Trailer
  • The Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # BX88235 is designed for lateral pulling like what we see with a flat-tow setup since the towed vehicle is supported on all 4 wheels. For your application I recommend using the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-303 which offers the same rise/drop the Blue Ox does but this is more of a heavy duty piece that can be used for towing a trailer. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Can the Curt Echo C51180 Be Used On a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg With Factory Anti-Sway Fetaures
  • The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 is indeed an excellent option for your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg. The concerns you have of the device interfering with the integrated features such as transmission shift point adjustments and anti-sway prevention are valid but not an issue with the Curt Echo. The device is simply a pass through that intercepts the brake output circuit and applies varying voltage accordingly. It even works with factory brake controllers as well. I...

  • Will The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, Fit A 2004 VW Touareg With Factory Crossbars
  • The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, will mount to crossbars that have a spread of 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8". It uses 4 inch wide U-bolts to attach to your crossbars, so it will fit crossbars up to 4 inches in diameter. I talked to SportRack and they said the thickness of the crossbar will not be a problem because the mounting hardware that is used will allow enough range to fit even the thickest of factory crossbars.

  • Can Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier be Bolted to a Featherlite 3110 Trailer
  • Since the frame on your Featherlite 3110 is mostly covered you wouldn't really have any other option but to bolt Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FSTC1000301 to the outside of the frame at the front of the trailer. I do recommend bolting it through the frame meaning the hardware would go all the way through. Using the included brackets at the back will also help distribute the force applied to the carrier over a larger area.

  • Can Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box Fit with a Kayak Carrier
  • The Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6357B is 33" wide so it will take up at least that much space on your crossbars, but it's also important to remember that the lid will rotate out as well so you need to account for a little more space. I don't have an exact amount but I'd say at least 4". From what I'm seeing you should be able to get this to fit with a kayak but you'll likely need to move your kayak carrier out to the edge of the crossbars as far as you can. You'll likely need...

  • The Electric Jack w/ Footplate - A-Frame - 25-1/8" Lift - 3.5K - Black # EJ-3520-BBX has a 2 inch outer diameter lower tube so you can use the Ram Removable, 6" Poly Caster Assembly for 2" Jack Tube - 1,200 lbs # JC-101 but the wheel will reduce the capacity to 1,200 lbs. The wheel will always be the limiting capacity on a jack like this.

  • Roof Rack Fit for 2013 Volkswagen Touareg With Roof Rails and Sun Roof
  • There is definitely a solution for you, though it could be that you have a sun roof and not a moon roof. This matters in terms of fit, because a moon roof slides into a cavity in the roof and does not extend above it, while a sun roof generally does extend above it. Due to this, the rack you mentioned, Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, would not work for your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg because the rack should not be used with vehicles that have a sun roof. Additionally, each of the Yakima...

  • Will 7-Way Adapter C35FR Allow Electric Reverse Lockout to Work When Connected to 2010 VW Touareg
  • The 7-Way to 5- and 4-Way adapter # C35FR contains load resistors that provide more draw on the system so that the vehicle, in this case a 2010 Volkswagen Touareg, will not give that bulb out alert and the lights will work properly on the trailer. This should also include the reverse electric lockout solenoid on the actuator. In some cases you will need additional load resistors, # DI34ZR, to get everything working properly. Make sure that the reverse light function on the 7-Way connector...

  • Will Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier # C18145 Fit on 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan w/ 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • To see if the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # C18145, will mount to your Volkswagen Tiguan with 1-1/4 Hitch, you will need to take a measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin out past the rear of the bumper. If this measurement is less than 6 inches, the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # C18145, will work on your Volkswagen Tiguan. If you find that you need more clearance than 6 inches, I would recommend the Tow Ready Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 63155, which...

  • Is There a Wiring Harness for 2011 VW Touareg With Factory 7-Way for Tekonsha Primus IQ
  • So I can help you out with some info, but for a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg, there actually isn't an aftermarket wiring harness available for any brake controller, including the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160, even though you have the factory 7-way. In order to install a brake controller, you will need the following parts that are available from a Volkswagen dealer - 1 connector housing (#1J0-972-782) and 2 wire/terminal assemblies (#000-979-228). I have added a link below to a tech bulletin...
