Retrofitting a towing bracket
Description
Fig. 280
Limits and attachment points for ret-
r
ofitting a towing bracket.
SEAT recommends that towing brackets be
r
etrofitted at a specialised workshop. For ex-
ample, it may very well be necessary to ad-
just the cooling system or mount thermal pro-
tection plates. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.
