    Hi all,

    I'm just about to fit a towbar to my 07 Golf GTTDI down here in Australia, I have a TEB7AS and my question is can the TEB7AS detect the difference between stop and tail signals on the combined canbus circuit? The fitting guide shows connections to offside tail, nearside tail and brake....Wouln't brake be on the same cable as either offside/nearside tail?
    I'm thinking of playing safe and using numberplate light for tail and tailgate brake light for brake. Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance

    This bypass relay only senses the signal on the relevant supply lead, that is the stop signal on the stop signal supply line (common for left and right) and the tail light signal on the tail light supply, (left and right supplies being seperate.)
    All the TEB7AS does is sense the signal and electronically draws the current needed from the independant (rear power socket in boot) 12volt supply for the appropriate action thus avoiding the canbus sensing additional load or alteration to the normal circuit.
    I have fitted several of them as per the attached circuit diag and they work faultlessly.
    The reverse and fog line pick up point is best above the wheel rear wheel arch, ask if you want diags via PM

    Thanks Richard,

    so, according to the diagram, as the Golf has common stop/tail feeds there is no need to connect the individual tail feeds, only the single brake feed.....The TEB7AS does the rest.
    That certainly simplifies things.

    Cheers - Mark

    No, With Referance to only the pick up side:- the stop signal is common.The tai lights are individual ie. left and right.
    Here is the wiring diagram for the rear lighting clusters.
    If you want to pick up the reverse siganal and the fog signal the best place is over the rear wheel arch.
    Note left hand drive models (the diag covers left and right)
    If you wire the output side of the relay as per the relay diag you will be correct and legal.
    If you cannot expand the diag enough send me an email address by PM and I will send you the file.

    When you have dual lights and single feed you are better off using a smart bypass relay like this.
    TF2218/7SmartLOGIC Bypass
    This type of relay will sense the voltage lines and put rear lights on and then brakes when the voltage changes because of the foot brake.

    Job done...
    Many thanks to Ben, Richard@thebrae and everyone else who has contributed.
    I used an Aussie Hayman Reece bar which with the tongue removed (2 bolts) is almost invisible The TEB7AS works faultlessly with the canbus, simplified because we don't need reverse or fog lights downunder. Biggest problem was removing the trim on the inside rear boot space, sadly cracked the plastic but hey, what's a bit of araldite between friends? Overall I reckon I saved around $1000 Aussie on the VW price, and if you've seen the VW Australia solution you'll agree it's well worth it!!!

    Cheers - Mark

    I have recently fitted the Westfalia detatchable towbar to my car and wired up the bypass relay as sugested and everything works fine, even the rear fog!

    Nobody has mentioned the fact that the 12v socket in the boot is ignition feed which means at night when you switch off, all the trailer lights go off.

    Has anyone found a good way of putting 12v battery feed into the boot without stripping the entire car?

    My trailer has internal lights powered by the side lights and I'm not keen on leaving the keys in whilst unloading!

    Your help is much appreciated.

    You can either change the feed for the 12v socket to make it live always, or run a new cable from either fuse box. You don't need to disturb much trim with a new cable. You just tuck it under the door sill/side trims.

    Hi


    I recently had a detachable tow bar fitted to my 2009 Golf VI 1.6 TDI 105 SE by my local VW dealer (It cost more than the wife’s Fiesta is worth!). I had requested a “new insert “for the spare wheel - i.e. which is designed to store the detachable tow bar when not in use.


    Unfortunately the one they ordered was too deep and would not fit the space saver spare wheel that is standard on my Golf. The dealer seemed unable to find another suitable part however I have seen a picture earlier on this thread that seems to show to suitable insert with part number 8P0 012 109 and under it there are the letters GFX (The detachable tow bar is located along side the jack as opposed to underneath as in the one ordered by the dealer)


    Has anybody managed to find one to fit the space saver wheel on the Golf VI?


    Thanks
