Expert Answers about Volkswagen Eos


  • How Well Does the Yakima HangOut Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Volkswagen Eos
  • Provided that you install the Yakima HangOut bike rack # Y02637 according to the specific instructions for the 2010 Volkswagen Eos the rack will fit and perform quite well. I do not have any specific anecdotal evidence for the Eos though. Yakima has the following fit notes for this rack and vehicle combination: 1) Place the upper strap hooks at the top edge of trunk, hatch lid, or rear door. 2) Outer/lower support frame rests on the trunk lip, hatch lid, or rear door below emblem or name...

  • Can Blue Ox Sway Pro Weight Distribution System Be Upgraded By Using Higher Rated Spring Bars
  • You can indeed upgrade to the 2000 lb rated spring bars, part # BXW4014. The Sway Pro systems from the highest to the lowest rated all use the same weight distribution head. To change the weight rating of the system, you'd simply swap out the spring bars. I've confirmed this with Blue Ox for you.

  • Compatibility of SilentACT Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SHP2082 w/ Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack # S64670
  • The Silent Act locking hitch pin you mentioned would most likely work with the Swagman XTC2 rack, but the threaded block would need to be removed from the shank of the bike rack. My Swagman representative tells me that they do not recommend using any other locking option than their locking hitch pin, part # S64029 because it is the only lock the rack has been tested with. I cannot officially endorse doing anything that would contradict the bike rack manufactures recommendations.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Compatible with a 2015 Volkswagen Eos
  • The 2015 Volkswagen Eos has a multiplexed wiring system with combined circuits which does indeed require a certain type of converter box, the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT which connects without cutting or splicing is the only option we offer and is 100% compatible with the 2015 Volkswagen Eos.

  • How to Tow a 2010 VW EOS Behind Motorhome
  • We do not have a base plate from any of our manufacturers that is confirmed to fit your 2010 VW Eos because that vehicle is not intended to be towed 4 wheels down. Your vehicle must be towed on a tow dolly according to your owner's manual. For an electric brake tow dolly you can use the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 along with trailer connector # PK12706 if you have a 7-way trailer connection and a brake controller on your motorhome. If you have the 7-way then you can use the Curt...

  • Fit of Swagaman Trailhead # S63360 Bike Rack on 2013 VW Eos Hardtop Convertible
  • Since you already have a hitch, you can quickly determine if the Swagman Trailhead would be compatible with your VW Eos. You'll need to find the distance between the hitch pin hole in the receiver and the furthest rearward point of the back bumper. I've linked you to an FAQ article that shows exactly how to do this.. If this distance is less than 11 inches (which it certainly should be), the Swagman Trailhead # S63360 would be an outstanding choice for you. As far as tools for installation,...

  • Will Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Rack Work on 212 VW Eos With Curt Trailer Hitch
  • We have not had a chance to test the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C11090 with the # KU74FR on a 2012 VW Eos so I can't tell you definitively if the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR will have enough clearance. Based on the accompanying photo showing this hitch installed on an Eos it looks like it should, but the issue with the Transfer is that it is only 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack. While the Transfer may work there is another...

  • Will the Thule Helium Aero Bike Carrier Fit a 2012 Volkswagen Eos with the Curt Trailer Hitch
  • Yes, the Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042PRO, will fit your 2012 Volkswagen Eos with Draw-Tite Class I trailer Hitch. The Carrier measures 14-3/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright mast. The locking knob is closer but it is at an angle and the bottom rear of the vehicle tapers so that would not be an issue.
