Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Preface
| The contents of this guide are separated into two parts. |
| The first part contains information and important notes on
the subject of “Trailer operation”. The technical prerequisites
for towing trailers or the function of the trailer control unit,
for example, are hereby explained. |
| Listed in the second part are the trailer loads (braked,
unbraked and drawbar load) of the vehicles (categorised
according to engine performance) and, where possible, the
prerequisites that have to be met to uprate the trailer load on
a vehicle. |
| Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest
findings in safety engineering. |
| It is therefore recommended that only spares marked as
genuine Volkswagen parts are used. It has been established that
these parts are reliable, safe and suitable. |
| Despite constant appraisal of the market, it is not possible
to assess other products on these points, even when in isolated
cases they have been passed by official inspectors or have been
granted official approval. It is obvious that no liability can
therefore be assumed if these products are installed. |
