MK1 Megane / Sccenic towbar
in [UK Cars]

From: Him & Her on 15 Mar 2010 04:28 Anyone know if I am right in thinking that the towbar for a Megane and Megane Scenic (96/98) are the same. IIRC they shared the same chasis/running gear. -- Regards, "The car in front is a Toyota", aren't you glad it's in front?

It may well depend on who makes the tow bar. Have a look on Witter's web site; if you enter make and model, a part number will be provided. Chris -- Remove prejudice to reply.

Cheers Chris but that doesn't work as they give every one a different part number to increase sales. Looking at the exploded view in the fitting instructions the bars are identical - have checked other models (and makes) to be certain they aren't just using a generic image. -- Regards, "The car in front is a Toyota", aren't you glad it's in front?

I doubt it. Sales won't increase, whilst the cost of stocking will. > Looking at the exploded view in the fitting instructions the bars are > identical - have checked other models (and makes) to be certain they > aren't just using a generic image. The bracketry may well be the same - I'd be surprised if it wasn't, given the floorpans are very likely to be the same, but there's a very good chance that the ball mount is longer on one, due to a different length overhang.

They probably give them different part numbers because they are different parts. They sell you a kit which has variations of a main bar/bracket and then packs of nuts, bolts and gubbins. > Looking at the exploded view in the fitting instructions the bars are > identical - have checked other models (and makes) to be certain they aren't > just using a generic image. You're right, they don't just use a generic image. Looking at the exploded view in the fitting instructions shows that the brackets that hold the bar on are completely different. -- Douglas |
