Towbar Fitting


Relatively easy to do on the mk2 2.8 paj but there are a few niggly points.

The rear mudflaps have to come off to get to the 2 bolts either wheel arch to take bumper off and about 8 bolts at the rear bit as you look at the rear of the chassis you will see 3 bolt holes already there on each box section to mount the towbar to.

CHECK THE HOLES ON EACH CHASSIS RAIL AS THE BOLTS THAT GO DEEPEST IN ARE BOLTED INTO CAPTIVATED NUTS.

These nuts on mine were manufactured out of line so i had to remove them via the tack welds with a splitting chisel.

Once removed all is plain sailing or so I thought.

Re bolt the towbar starting with the furthest bolts away and work back towards your self .

Now to get the bumper back on but now the space you had to get the bolts out is drastically reduced as 4 of the bolts are now really difficult to get the spanner into so make sure the bolts are really cleaned up first so you can wind them in finger tight until there nearly in then the last few turns with a spanner.
