  View original topic: New Style Beetle Automatic Trans. question

I would like to buy a new beetle with an automatic transmission to tow behind my RV using a tow bar. I do not want to place the car on a dolly. I have some concerns about transmission damage if car is towed without engine running to lube the tranny. Are the new beetle auto's towable?

Thanks,

Garsan

no auto of any brand should be towed across the country with a tow bar. All auto manufactors state so in the owners manual not to tow more than 30 miles. I would get a trailor/dolly.
