Towbar for a 3.0 HDi C5 Touring 2009 Exclusive

Unread post by HuguesOlifant »

I am looking for a towbar for the above, and can only find one so far for a 2.0 HD1 or a 2.2. I have a Witter detachable one on my 2.0 HD1 2010 Touring Exclusive, and wonder if a garage could transfer it to the 3.0.
Your help would be v welcome.

I can only provide you with the official details of towbars from Citroen for this specific model. If you want these, let me have your VIN. Please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff.

I've been looking for one of these also.
There is a thread on here where someone did modify a towbar for the non twin-exhaust/battery in boot model and get it to fit, here

However I have also found some aftermarket ones that allegedly are compatible. e.g:

https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 13032.html
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 14382.html
(that supplier also has other models available that either specifically say not for twin-exhaust/2.2/3.0, or don't state either way - I haven't linked those).

Thank you very much for this very useful info. Marc, I shall have to get the VIN from the gentleman who is giving the car to me - shall come back when I have it. Iain I shall investigate - Many thanks to both.
