Complicated modern cars and towing - beware
I have a Peugeot 508sw, which is a great towbar by the way. My recent problem was after a return to towing after a short break I could not get the 13pin electrical towing system to work at all, everything was dead apart from the main battery feed. I was
at a total loss as to what the problem was. In desperation I took my car back to Fylde Coast Towing who originally fitted the tow bar for some help. They were absolutely fantastic, checking out the whole system whilst I waited. It turned out that at a recent
routine car service the engine management system had been reset, this caused the towing system to be completely isolated causing the problem. Despite working on the car for nearly two hours, phoning up various companies for guidance, they refused to take any
money for the excellent service they provided. The moral is make sure that when your car is serviced, they are aware that you have a towbar fitted, or you may find yourself in the same difficult situation. Again I must recommend Fylde Coast Towing, they were
brilliant.
