After detaching the towbar it is back in "pre stressed" mode again, ready to be attached again. But how do I release it from "pre stressed" mode so I can take out the key and fit the towbar in the tool kit again?
@@dasjefe Hello Jeremy, I think I've the same problem. My towbar is out of its casing. But everything is stuck. Can't turn the wheel, The barringwheels are locked. I gave it a bang with a hammer, but that didn't help either.... anyone an idea?
@freezeme360 I figured it out as well... You know what the trick was... You just have to put the knob into the bar again. It took me 2 hours to find it out. Greased everything up several times. But I couldn't possible turn the wheel if the knob is out of the bar it self. So I thought oke let's give it a final try under the car itself and that worked... LOL... Noway.. Shoot... Big laugh...
Does the AV40 socket interchange with Bosals AK40 or 41 socket? I have a specific accessory made for the AK40 socket but can't source a towbar so wanted to get a Westfalia instead.
Is it safe to use towbar if locking mechanism does not work? Or it's purpose is only for preventing the stealing from your car? Zhank you for response.
Agree.. Me.. Model 3... So hard to try to get it to work.. 20 minutes ... Goes in but key does not come out..... The bike rack dry dropped off fitting it on.... Dangerous
Helped me out as I was struggling with how it worked. I now have a working knowledge of it. Thank you.
is this supposed to work on all hitches made by westfalia?
What a clever design.
Tnx amazing video and help! Couldn’t figure it out with a guidebook 🤓
I always forget that little outward pull prior to presenting it. It's not actually shown in the video, I only inferred it from the removal animation.
Thank you 💪🏼
Ok is it necessary for the keyholder to go back to its place? Imean u dont mind to keep holding it to go back! Car check feld bc of it!!
I bought a second hand car with this preinstalled. However, the seller didn't have the key. Is it possible to order a replacement key?
Is it possible to get key out if neck is detach?I just cannot
Thank you! No idea why I did not get it to work earlier O.o
Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you

I have the same problem. This is the second time it has happened and now it seems like it's really stuck. Any luck getting yours fixed?

I lost the key. Can I use a high key from a similar one?
