00 – Technical data1 Preface(VRL008328; Edition 08.2015)The contents of this guide are separated into two parts.The first part contains information and important notes on thesubject of “Trailer operation”. The technical prerequisites for tow‐ing trailers or the function of the trailer control unit, for example,are hereby explained.Listed in the second part are the trailer loads (braked, unbrakedand drawbar load) of the vehicles (categorised according to en‐gine performance) and, where possible, the prerequisites thathave to be met to uprate the trailer load on a vehicle.Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings insafety engineering.It is therefore recommended that only spares marked as genuineVolkswagen parts are used. It has been established that theseparts are reliable, safe and suitable.Despite constant appraisal of the market, it is not possible to as‐sess other products on these points, even when in isolated casesthey have been passed by official inspectors or have been gran‐ted official approval. It is obvious that no liability can therefore beassumed if these products are installed.
1.1 Legal requirements outside GermanyThe country-specific legislation and guidelines must be observed.If further clarity is required, contact your importer.

2.1 Factory fitted towing attachmentIf the vehicle was supplied with a factory fitted towing attachment,everything with regards to the technical and legal requirementshas already been taken care of.It should be noted that from the start of 1988 a »13-pin« trailersocket is installed in place of the conventional »7-pin« socket.This new socket allows connection at a later time of additionalelectrical consumers from the trailer, for which there was nomeans of connection in the previous socket, e.g. a reversing light.If the trailer to be towed has a »7-pin« connector, an adapter cableavailable from Volkswagen dealerships can be used.
2.2 Retrofitted towing attachmentIf the vehicle is to be equipped with a retrofit towing attachment,the following should be observed:The towing attachment is a safety element. Therefore, only a typeapproved device designed specifically for the vehicle should beused. It is recommended that a towing attachment from the Volks‐wagen accessory programme is used as it is the same as thefactory fitted devices. For these towing attachments, the installa‐tion instructions supplied also have Volkswagen's approval.
2.3 Ball headHeight:350 to 420 mm, measured from centre of ball head to road surfaceDistance:Minimum of 65 mm, measured from centre of ball head to bumper
2.4 Trailer socketThe trailer socket must be connected in accordance with themanufacturer's instructions to the electrical system of the pullingvehicle.When installing, observe the relevant current flow diagrams andthe installation instructions from the manufacturer of the towingdevice.
2.4.1 »7-pin« trailer socketIf more than the recommended number of electrical consumers isto be connected in a system with a »7-pin« socket, a second »7-pin« socket must be installed. Assignment of the pins should becarried out in accordance with DIN ISO 1724 as follows:♦ 1 - Left turn signal

♦ 2 - Rear fog light♦ 3 - Earth♦ 4 - Right turn signal♦ 5 - Driving light, marker light, right number plate light♦ 6 - Brake light♦ 7 - Driving light, marker light, left number plate light
2.4.2 »13-pin« trailer socketReversing lights, »permanent current« and charge lead on thetrailer can be used via the »13-pin« trailer socket. If a bike traileror a caravan is to be towed, for example, it is recommended thata »13-pin« trailer socket is always used.Assignment of the pins should then be carried out in accordancewith DIN ISO 11446 as follows:♦ 1 - Left turn signal♦ 2 - Rear fog light♦ 3 - Earth for current circuit 1 to 8♦ 4 - Right turn signal♦ 5 - Right driving light♦ 6 - Brake light♦ 7 - Left driving light♦ 8 - Reversing light♦ 9 - Terminal 30 (permanent positive)♦ 10 - Terminal 15 (charge battery in trailer)♦ 11 - Not assigned♦ 12 - Not assigned♦ 13 - Earth for terminal 15/30
2.5 Trailer detector control unit - J345-General description:The trailer detector control unit - J345- detects a power consump‐tion of at least 5 W1) when “towing a trailer” and passes thisinformation to various control units via the CAN data bus.The trailer detector control unit - J345- receives information (reg‐ulation of lights) from the onboard supply control unit - J519- andthe convenience system central control unit - J393- via the CANdata bus.1) The turn signal system or the side lights must be switched on to detect the“trailer”.
Information concerning checking the control unit, fault displaysand fault finding is located in the workshop manual ⇒ Electricalsystem; Rep. gr. 97 ; Trailer detector control unit J345 .
2.5.1 Retrofitting trailer detector control unit -J345-
Retrofitting a trailer detector control unit - J345- is possible in es‐sence but not easy because it has to be connected to the CANdata bus of the vehicle. The control unit then has to be coded withthe aid of “Guided fault finding” ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.

Note
It is recommended that alternative control units available on theopen market and not approved by Volkswagen are avoided with‐out exception. If equipment of this type is installed, the guaranteewill become void. Generally, these are connected to the tail lightsand not integrated in the electrical system of the vehicle, whichmakes far more sense. The consequence is that faulty diagnosesin the bulb failure warning system or malfunctions can occur,among other things. Furthermore, dimmed bulbs (combinedbrake and tail light) cannot be actuated.
2.5.2 Coding trailer detector control unit -J345-
Coding is described in ⇒ Electrical system; Rep. gr. 97 ; Trailerdetector control unit J345 .
2.6 Engine coolingSince higher demands are placed on the engine cooling systemwhen a trailer is being towed, the cooling system is uprated inconjunction with factory fitted towing attachments if this is a tech‐nical necessity. This is carried out, for example, by installing amore powerful or second radiator fan and/or larger radiator. Ve‐hicles with air conditioning and those prepared for topical climateswith air conditioning already have an uprated engine cooling sys‐tem. On the Passat, a more powerful radiator fan (PR no. 0Y2)can also be factory installed as a single fan. This makes it easierto retrofit a trailer towing system.The cooling system should also be uprated if a towing attachmentis retrofitted and provision for this has not been made in the fac‐tory. If this is not done, overheating of the cooling system cannotbe ruled out if the engine is placed under high load (gradients,high ambient temperatures, heavy trailer). During conversion, theparts listed in ETKA (electronic parts catalogue) must be used forengine cooling in combination with trailer towing. In addition, thework instructions from the relevant workshop manuals must befollowed.It is only possible to choose not to uprate the cooling system ifassurance can be given that the engine will only be placed undermedium load, e.g.♦ stay well below the gross combination weight♦ high ambient temperatures are unlikely♦ the vehicle is not driven up long, steep gradients♦ no very long journeys are undertakenIn any case, the coolant temperature gauge must be observedcarefully. If the needle of the display moves too far into the hotzone, the speed of the vehicle should be reduced immediately. Inan emergency, it may even be necessary to stop and allow theengine to cool down. In this instance, the engine should be al‐lowed to idle for about 2 minutes to avoid any build up of heat.

Note
♦ On vehicles with air conditioning, cooling of the engine can beassisted by switching off the air conditioning system. In thisway, there will be an improvement in pulling away and over‐taking.
♦ If an except is made in uprating the cooling system (i.e. up‐rating has been dispensed with), the new owner must beinformed of this fact when the vehicle is sold.
2.7 Exterior mirrorsIf the traffic behind the trailer cannot be seen with the exteriormirrors fitted as standard, additional mirrors are necessary. Bothexterior mirrors must be fitted in this instance to extension brack‐ets that can be folded in and the mirrors must be adjusted so thatthe view to the rear is assured at all times.
2.8 Uprated shock absorbers and coilsprings
♦ Diving or dipping of the rear end between pulling vehicle andtrailer can be avoided with the use of uprated shock absorbersand coil springs on the rear axle. These shock absorbers andsprings can also be retrofitted in many cases by a Volkswagenworkshop, unless of course they were installed ex-factory. Forallocation of the shocks and springs refer to ⇒ Electronic partscatalogue “ETKA” .
♦ Diving or dipping and trailer snaking can also be avoided withstabilisation aids that can be procured in most European coun‐tries via Volkswagen dealerships and also installed by them.

4.1 Towing attachment type plateThe trailer load and drawbar load details on the type plate of thetowing attachment are test figures for the device. The approveddetails for the relevant vehicle could be below the trailer load anddrawbar load specifications of the trailer. Figures can be found♦ in this trailer guide,♦ in the vehicle documents,♦ in the respective owner's manualthat are specific to the vehicle.The curb weight of the pulling vehicle is increased due to the tow‐ing attachment, which means the permissible load has to bereduced respectively.
4.2 Weight of vehicle and trailer combina‐tion
The weight of the vehicle and trailer combination comprises of theactual weight of the pulling vehicle and the actual weight of thetrailer. The maximum permissible weights of the pulling vehicleand the trailer must not be exceeded. If the maximum permissibletrailer load is utilised, under certain circumstances the weight ofthe pulling vehicle may have to be reduced accordingly.
4.3 TachographIn many European countries there is an obligation to install anduse a tachograph on vehicles (including passenger vehicles) thatserve purely for commercial purposes to transport goods wheretheir maximum permissible weight including drawbar trailer or fifthwheel trailer exceeds 3.5 t. In this case, it makes no differencewhether the pulling vehicle with trailer or either one separately isused to transport goods commercially.
