Default Warranty concerns

I need to have a towbar fitted to my Touran, which is still in
warranty. Is there likely to be a problem with having a non genuine
towbar fitted by an independent fitter? I have been told by a VW
dealer that this may invalidate my warranty. I do not want to pay the
inflated VW price for a towbar but nor do I want to invalidate my
warranty.

I would welcome your hearing your thoughts / experiences on this
matter.

Cheers, R

Default Warranty concerns

Choosing the right towbar for your car is important. A towbar that is of
poor quality, or is not intended for a particular car model. can end up
damaging and/or weaken the structure of your car or even cause an accident.
The same can be said for a towbar that is not installed correctly. Whatever
you decide, considerations regarding the warranty should be secondary to
safety. Personally, I would have it done at the VW dealership even though
the cost may be double. Peace of mind is worth something.

Nice, if you are into mini-vans. Since mini-vans are great for long distance
comfort, this would be a great empty nester vacation trips.
