Thanks parmm. I will check them out today. We did get a wireless light kit from Towmate. It was the Lightstick, But I still need to get my US gear brake installed. Thanks for the info.

An HHR would have been a whole lot easier, and automatic.

Well maybe. But the last time I looked it wasn't a hard top convertible. Did they change it?

Have you tried towing it yet, even without the brake system? I've very curious how it towed, I'm considering one of these for my next vehicle/toad.

Hi Rollins215
Not yet but probably this Sat. or Sun we will leave Ca and head up the coast. Got the brake installed and a tow cover from Coastline. My wife wants to drive it all time so I don't know much it will get towed. Very nice car. Joe and Pam

Anyone tow a VW Eos and how do you do it?

We tow a 2007 EOS VR6 with DSG transmission on a tow dolly. I still tow my Subaru Impreza four down but it is a 6 speed stick. I've had the cheap tow dollys and I understand why people don't like the idea, but our new Demco KarKaddy SS http://www.demco-products.com/pages/RV/kkss.htm is a dream. Have towed the EOS since new this way plan a trip to Canada in late July and winter in Mesa AZ. Great car always gets the looks and questions at the RV Resorts, no SUV for us.

Hay Dr Goodwrench Glad to hear about your Eos. I hate tow dolly's so its four down for us. We just have the basic Car and I have been doing a lot of checking on how to tow it. Vw says no but we talked with the top drive line engineer here in the states and he said it would not affect the transmission to tow it 4 down. Only down side is it will get miles but we don't care. Hope to see you on the road some day. We usually spend the winter in Quartzsite and then some time in Phoenix

I would agree you should be able to tow the straight stick EOS four down, we towed a 1999 VW New Beetle TDI for thousands of miles four down. No problems.

We will be in Mesa, AZ this winter at Desert Vista, stop by for visit. http://www.desertvistarv.com/

Why will you get miles? I thought other VW's don't accumulate miles when towed.

Are you satisfied with the Coastline cover? How's the fit?

We also use the U.S. Gear brake. Any issues there?

Thanks!

Finally got this thing on the road. We went about 200 miles yesterday and can't even tell it was there. Of course with a big DP and a 400 hp Cummins you can't tell much any way. Coast line cover was great. It flaps a little but not much. I think the miles come from the computer and I am not sure about a disconnect for it yet. That was the least of my problems. It is my wife's baby and she was very scared all day long that we were going to ruin it. Joe and Pam
