How to Tow a MK1

[mburger]

Attach to the front lower control arms. Don’t use the quick jacks. Tow driver should have ramps to get you onto the tow deck at a better angle. Also, with a T5 you have to use a flat bed otherwise you’ll damage the transmission.

[R. Button]

The tow driver should put blocks of wood up between the cable and the frame to help keep the cable down, away from the body.
Most of the rollback - flat bed drivers will extend the flat bed back to help reduce the angle. I was towed once after a blowout on my rear tire and the tow operator was very careful as well as knew what to watch for.
