Expert Answers about Volkswagen
- Do I Have to Run a Power Wire to the Battery When Installing a Wiring Harness on a 2018 VW Tiguan?
- No, you don't want to do that! The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56403 needs a dedicated power source ran directly to the battery. We get these questions all the time and while it seems like a pain especially when there's alternative options like the one you suggested. We have to recommend you follow the instructions so you don't damage your vehicle, the SMT module on the wiring harness, and your trailer's lighting functions.

- The Brophy 2" Stainless Steel Hitch Ball part # SC23-C will work out great with the Flash Self-Locking Aluminum Ball Mount part # DTLBM8600.
For an anti rattle for it use the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches part # RM-061 this is my go to anti rattle because it is very effective at keeping things secure. I've linked a video on it for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for Towing With 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI
- The first thing I recommend is checking your owner's manual. Make sure your 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen is capable of towing this trailer. Assuming it is, you will want a hitch, wiring, brake controller, and ball mount for a complete towing setup.
For a hitch, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7284. This hitch has a concealed cross tube and a 2" receiver. It also has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. You will be limited by whichever towing capacity...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring for a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas
- The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C67WR you're looking at is not going trick your Atlas into thinking there is a trailer plugged in. All this wiring harness does is provide your vehicle with a 4-flat so you can plug in lights for a trailer or for any hitch mounted accessories. To trick your Atlas on thinking there is a trailer connected, you're going to need to splice into your taillight wiring.
For your light bar issue, it sounds like there...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount to Tow a 2022 Volkswagen Atlas
- It's possible, Rafael, but it looks like the GVWR of your Atlas ranges just a bit over 6,000 lbs which I personally wouldn't be comfortable with.
So with that said, I'd recommend using a bit beefier ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10038B which has a 7.5K capacity and has 5" of drop or 5 1/2" rise depending on what you need.
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas SE
- So from what I can gather, Marshall, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118754 may have not been tested extensively to see if it'd be compatible with the 2024 Atlas.
It shows here that there is a chance that this harness possibly won't work with a 2021.5 and up Atlas, so I'm assuming that's why you're experiencing what you're experiencing.
The Curt # C67WR however has been tested and is confirmed via Curt as well to work with your 2024 Volkswagen Atlas.
view full answer... - Is there a Motorcycle Carrier that Can Be Used With a Class I Receiver
- You're unfortunately correct, Bob, the 275 lbs will be entirely too heavy. For your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI you're going to be limited to a class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 which has a max tongue weight of 200 lbs.
Realistically you're not going to be able to use any motorcycle carrier since you'd almost certainly be overloading your vehicle which is going to wreck your vehicle eventually.

- I recommend the Tuson Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 as the best electronic sway control for your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg.
For the brake controller the wiring is not as complicated as many believe. We have a article (linked below) that will walk you through all the steps and extra parts necessary to install a hard wired brake controller. I recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195 for user friendly operation and customization.
If you still prefer to go wireless the Curt Echo # C51180 I feel is a...

- Usually whenever things like this happen after they've previously worked, that's a tell tale sign that there is a damaged or corroded connector.
You might still be getting power to the circuit, but the connector is corroded or damaged and that's causing the lights to not function properly.
I'd recommend checking the connectors and looking for white or green corrosion on the pins or sockets of the connectors. If there is, you can try cleaning it and seeing if the problem continues, if...

- Hey Kevin, yes the EcoHitch part # 306-X7362 that you referenced does fit your 2024 Volkswagen Atltas SE.
If you want trailer wiring too the Tekonsha kit part # 118754 is the kit to go with as it has the most reliable converter box and an easy install.

- I attached a link on this page that has all of the tow bars we carry that can be used with the Roadmaster tow bar part # 521233-1. I really like the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain part # RM-522 which is the easiest to use and very high quality. To use it with the mentioned base plate kit you would also need the crossbar kit part # 910021-00.

- Hey Mike, for your 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan both the etrailer hitch part # e43ZR and the Curt # C13381 have concealed crosstubes. These hitches are basically identically designed with only real difference being the etrailer has a matte black finish and the Curt a gloss black.
For an even more hidden option we have the Hidden Hitch part # DT62GR which has a removable hitch opening that makes it basically totally invisible when not in use.

- Hey Ed, I am sorry to say that the Thule Traverse feet have been discontinued, so we do not offer a fit kit that will allow you to use the traverse 754/480 foot pack on your 2021 Volkswagen Jetta R Line 4 Door Sedan. Thule has now switched over to the Edge Clamp Feet # TH710501. The fit kits that fit the 2021 Jetta will work only with the Edge Clamp Feet.

- Your 2021 Tiguan SE should have holes in the side frame, it is the weldnuts that have been reported missing on some models. I recommend completely avoiding this with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH49ZR. This custom fit hitch uses a different installation process so the lack of weldnuts will not be an issue. The Stealth Hitch replaces the factory reinforcement beam on the back of your vehicle.
The hitch has a tongue weight of 350 lbs and is only for hitch...

- Monty, the first thing I'd do is make sure everything is plugged in properly and the connectors aren't damaged in any way. The next thing, and honestly the last thing you can check is the fuses.
Since the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118791 just plugs into your factory wiring and does not require any splicing there shouldn't have been any issue with the wiring itself, so it leads me to believe the fuse might be blown on the power wire.

- If you have the Thule SnowPack # TH7324 or # TH7326 then you can use the Replacement M6 x 55mm T Bolt for Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # 1500052620 to attach to your crossbars.
However, If you have a different Thule ski rack feel free to let me know what you have and I can check and see if we have the correct hardware.
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2019 Volkswagen Arteon and 2010 Trek Navigator 2.0
- For a bike rack we have a handful of options but what you're going to be wanting is a platform rack that is classified as a wheel mount. This means that it will have the weight capacity needed for your 40 lb E-Bike and then an arm that secures your bike by the wheel and not the frame.
If you only plane on carrying your 1 bike then I recommend using the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY87RR because it is just smaller and easier...
view full answer... - Availability of Trailer Hitch for 1992 Eurovan
- The Curt # 13217 you looked at only fits the 1993-2003 models of the Eurovan. It looks like the 1992 model was only available in Europe so there are likely some differences that don't allow the hitch to fit. The only option would be to take the # E17 to a fabricator and have them fashion a custom fit hitch for your 92 Eurovan.
