  • Finding Stoplight Circuit for Brake Controller Install in 2012 Volkswagen Touareg

If you check out the attached help article link I attached you can see the entire process outlined.

  • Will CSS-1094R Coil Sumo Springs Help Reduce Rear End Sag From Trailer Tongue Weight
  • The # CSS-1094R Coil SumoSprings helper spring would indeed help reduce some of the minor sag caused by the tongue weight of a trailer being applied to the rear suspension of your Touareg. The product mounts in between the coils of your existing rear springs to provide additional support and dampening. They will also help reduce body roll experienced in turns. This is the only helper spring option we offer for your 2015 VW Touareg. I'll link to a video that explains more about the Coil...

  • Is the Replacement Strap for SportRack Escape Bike Rack Sold as a Pair or One Strap
  • The Replacement Strap for SportRack Escape Hitch Mounted Bike Racks # 05002200000 is sold as a single strap; to get a pair you would need to order two of them. The reason for this is that some people only need one strap and would be getting one strap they don't need. A single strap allows people to only get the strap (or straps) they need.

  • How Often Should Remote Need Paring with Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Brake Controller
  • The remote should not have to be paired each time you hook up to your trailer. It might have the occasional disconnect where it needs to be re-paired, but typically you should not have to pair the remote each time. I have attached the installation details and an installation video for you. The installation video goes over how to pair your remote at the 1:35 min mark.

  • Replacement Pin To Hold Gate Of Utility Trailer
  • I recommend to use Bolt-On Stainless Steel Spring Latch pins part # SL716SS that can be bolted to the utility trailer to keep the gate closed. At this time we do not carry the clip/pin with chain for the gates on your Snowbear utility trailer. I have attached a photo of an example.

  • Using the Yakima Flushbar System on a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg
  • The kit on the Yakima Flushbar kit, part # Y00456-0457 and part # Y00158 do include the feet to connect to your flush rails. This is actually the fit kit, part # Y00158's entire job. The fit kit will clip into the bottom of the towers on the end of the crossbar and help adjust the bars to fit your roof correctly. I never recommend opening the sunroof on any vehicle with roof bars installed. Primarily, there's risk of contacting the bars with the glass of the sunroof when it opens, causing...

  • What Replacement Wheels do I Need for My 2012 Trails West Horse Trailer?
  • From the pictures I have of your 2012 Trails West 2 trailer, it is a dual axle trailer. If this is the case, each wheel maximum weight capacity has to be a minimum of 1,625 if the gross vehicle weight rating is at 6,500 pounds. This is because each wheel capacity contributes to the overall weight capacity of the trailer. It is important to note that the tires should be rated for the actual gross towing weight capacity of the trailer and not the empty weight of the trailer. The gross towing...

  • Yes, you can use the Thule K-Summit XXL Tire Chains, part # TH02230K66, on your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg. I have attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

I did a search online...

  • Electric Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
  • I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our highest rated and most popular brake controller models. If your Touareg has a factory tow package, then you will just need to connect the wires from the brake controller to the tow package wires under the dash. The tow package wiring may be located behind the lower appearance panel beneath the dash and to the right of the emergency brake pedal. It may be on the left, wrapped in grey foam. I have included a link to an FAQ article that...

  • Installation of Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller on a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
  • It sounds like you do not have the factory installed 7-way on your 2012 Volkwagen Touareg. To install a brake controller like the Tekonsha P3 # 90195 you will need a 4-way wiring harness installed and then to gain the proper brake controller functions you will need to adapt the 4-way to a 7-way. The 4-way I recommend for your Touareg is # 118668. We do have an installation video of this being installed on your same vehicle. To adapt this to a 7-way, I recommend the # ETBC7, this kit...

  • 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...
