Jetta TDI with a double clutch transmission should work well too - fast shifting transmission and lots of low end torque should be ideal for this purpose.


NOOOOOOOOOO !!! ;-) VW does not recommend any towing with vehicles using DSG transmissions.

Looks ok. Mine's 700kg total.

The German version has higher trailer weights shown, and shows larger engines, such as the 2500cc 5 cylinder gas. Google translate is BRUTAL on owner's manuals with tables. It would be very helpful if someone that speaks German could check this out. Perhaps I was reading out of context.

If mine blows, I'll post. :-)
