VW - Can it be towed 4wheel down?

Can a Volkswagon be towed 4 wheel down? -- Anyone have any experience with one? Standard or automatic??

  • There can be a HUGE difference in models/years/etc. As Harley-Dave stated, knowing the year and model will help someone answer your question more accurately.

  • Check the owners manual for model in question. Mt or AT as well as driveline Front Wheel Drive 4WD or AWD may make a difference.. An acquaintance of ours purchased a Toureg FWD AT on the assurance of the VW dealer that it could be towed 4 down, but later found out that it could NOT, even with modifications, Lube Pump. They now own a tow dolly as well as a dusty Blue Ox tow bar.
