Does anyone know if a front tow bar is standard on a 6n2 polo?
I know my old 6n didnt have one.
If there isnt, is there any part of the car i can attach a tow rope to, to be able to tow it?
PS - i cant go and look if it has a bar as it is far away.

There is a tow hook screw behind the drivers side fog cover
Though BE CAREFUL. I once watched a polo being towed, and it ripped the towing eye out! So i suggest you tow it on a more secure location underneath the car.

Thats the one.
Somewhere on the undercarriage - perhaps around the whole front section behind the bumper.
Its possible it would be ok, but I wouldnt want to take the risk.

if u got the 6n2 the "eye" u screw in should be in with the spare wheel in the boot. i had some trouble with my car recently and used this "eye" to tow my car up onto the tom truck twice in two days and didnt have a problem..... only poblem i had was the exhaust started to scrape cause of the lowness and angle it got lifted.
