Introduction
This tutorial explains step by step how to install the BRINK 608700 towbar on a Touran III.
Please note, this tutorial does not cover the installation of the beam.
-
-
Disassemble the lights:
-
Start by removing the plastic shutters in the trunk.
-
Unscrew the white nut by hand
-
Disconnect the connector by hand (a small screwdriver can be used to release the hook)
-
Unscrew the 10 Torx screws (T15 and T25) to release the bumper.
-
-
-
Unscrew the screws holding the side member using a 13 key (3 on the left + 4 on the right)
-
Once the spar has been removed, put the screws back in place so as not to lose them (lock them without tightening too much)
-
-
-
Roughly put the hitch in place by inserting the 2 arms into the 2 housings provided for this purpose.
-
Put the 4 screws in place without tightening them using a 17 wrench. The screws at the bottom are threaded. Locknuts (15 wrench) hold the most accessible screws.
-
Tighten the most accessible screws to 45 Nm and the deepest to 65 Nm, as indicated in the assembly instructions.
-
For vehicles equipped with Add-Blue, tightening the screws on the right is made difficult by the presence of the Add-Blue reservoir, see the next step to work around the problem.
-
-
-
The Add-Blue tank hides access for tightening the right-hand screws of the hitch. It is necessary to move it slightly to have correct access
-
Simply unscrew its 3 screws using a 13 key to free it and let it descend a few cm.
-
There is no need to unplug it and put it down completely. Just rest it on a lower support.
-
-
-
Reassemble the bumper (as when disassembling)
-
Reassemble the lights (fixed by the plastic nut, the connector and the plastic shutter in the trunk)
-
-
-
Install the swan neck on the hitch:
-
Put in place the 2 screws and use 2 19 wrenches (or 1 19 wrench + 1 adjustable wrench) to tighten very tightly.
