Towing scoob
 
Simple question, can scoob be towed on a towing bar?
Cheers

Yes.

Cheers Brun
Thought so but always best to check,
Thanks Ade

As long as all 4 wheels are on the ground when towing.

^^^^^
Depending exactly what Scoob it is!

Towing would be good but dont think it has anywhere to tow it from!!!

There should be a towing eye in the boot that you need screw in.
I believe you have to take the driver side fog cover off and there's something it screws into there.

The AA told me you can tow a scoob for 12 miles at 20mph or you risk blowing the diffs and box

Brun 15 June 2012 10:23 PM

If the car is in neutral then the box cannot be put in question surely?

just as long as all 4 wheels are rotating at the same speed then there will be no damage to diff or box but raise 2 wheels from the ground in a dolly or recovery truck then expect to see shards of metal very soon

Now, after looking behind the fog cover, I realise that the support rail I removed to fit the fmic had the screw in for the towing eye!! Bugger

But certainly not the case for all Imprezas. Can't remember which cars this would cause issue with - maybe the dccd cars???

Only cars this would be an issue for is automatic's all else will be fine

Not worth the risk to the box and diff, if you must tow it with the front wheels off the ground i would remove the rear half of the prop to be safe.
