Audi Q5 Towbar Cost

New member
Hi, I recently made an inquiry to my local Audi dealer about getting a new Q5. My 2018 is running very well but coming to the end of the 5 year warranty.
I asked for pricing on a Q5 and included a request to price a tow bar. The quote came back with a tow bar price of $3600. I could not believe it.
I asked the sales guy if the tow bar fitted to my 2018 Q5 could be moved across. He said No and changes were made. I assume this must be to the electronics modules as I am sure the physical tow bar would not have changed.
Has anyone any experience with with fitting a non Audi tow bar?
I know Audi charges like a wounded bull for most genuine parts but this is over the top. Of course when the Audi is onsold with a tow bar then it would add zero value to the vehicle.
Thanks
Peter

Towbar (inc module) will be the same between your 2018 and the 2023 car Peter. Salesman won't know what he is talking about.
