Pug_101 0 Posted June 19, 2006 With another 205. Would a 1.9L Gti be able to tow a 2nd 205 comfortably with a "A frame", "Dolly" or full sized trailer? What do you think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashley peddle 3 Posted June 19, 2006 depends... on a trailor i would say no not really... but if for recovery purposes or a 1 off time then yeah (but dont expect the towing eye / rear bumper of the 205 towing to me much good after ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pug_101 0 Posted June 19, 2006 I will be fitting a proper tow hook for this. I am thinking of having a 2nd 205 for the track and I am trying to figure out how to transport it. I could drive it maybe, but if there's a problem I'm stuffed. So think trailering it would be better, but don't want another car just to tow it. Dollies and "a" frames are a good price and easy to store so would prefer this method. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashley peddle 3 Posted June 19, 2006 pretty sure that dollies and a frames are for emergency use only by law? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted June 19, 2006 I don't know about doing it often but I towed a gti with an XS, that was fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted June 19, 2006 a frames are great, 20 mins to load up and fold away nicely in the boot, only drawback is dont ever try reversing with one! wouldnt of thought they r emergancy use only...:S who told you that? the only laws i no of are no ropes and lowered speed limit to 30mph, and no moterway driving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted June 20, 2006 But then who pays attention to the law? eh Inferno? I've watched a J-plate Miami's towing eye come straight off! They're not not the strongest example! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pug_101 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Any problems in towing something your own weight? I know a heavier car would be ideal. Maybe I should get a volvo estate and put the 205 in the boot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotthall39 0 Posted June 20, 2006 The rear towing eyes are not to strong, but as mentioned will be ok as a 1 off kind of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
