We’ve just completed yet another Audi A8 tow bar fitting.
The luxurious Audi A8 is certainly a vehicle that oozes quality and style. Manufactured as Audi’s flagship saloon, the car is bristling with a plethora of advanced electronics and safety devices. As such, having dedicated electrics and the latest vehicle software upgrade is essential on these cars.
Here are a few things that are changed when the software is updated and you plug in to the towing socket…
Self-levelling suspension
Cruise Control
BLISS
Reverse Sensors (PDC)
Sway Control
Front Assist
Let’s get one thing clear here…. Universal bypass electrics or read-only dedicated electrics will not work on this vehicle! (Unless the correct towing electrics are fitted and coded, the car will be dangerous to use when towing and your car insurance will be void.)
The tow bar we used for the A8 was the Aragon A8 towbar. These are manufactured in Spain and are type-approved for the UK.
Importing the bar to the UK takes around 3 working days.
The maximum tow weight for the Audi A8 is 2,300kg, giving the Audi A8 plenty of towing capacity.
