Towbar for Passat - have bracket - just bar needed?

    I have a 03 VW Passat 4-door saloon. It seems to have a bracket on the underside ready for a tow bar to slot into (with a metal pin then put in through the holes in the bracket perpendicular to the bar to hold it in place). Can I just buy a tow bar (i.e. not a full kit needed) and pin it into place or is a specialist installation (and kit) required?

    I don't really need a tow bar in general - would mainly just use it for a towball bike rack if I could bick up the towbar for cheap enough. So thanks for any pointers on what my options are.

    sounds like you have a detachable towhook with the detachable bit missing ?

    Could be that exactly, didn't know they were detachable. Will double-check the boot to make sure it's not sitting around in it, but if not is it possible just to buy the detachment?

    once you know what make it is your VW dealer or motor factor would probably be able to help you with that..they may even know by just looking at it.
