But at the end of the day if the manufacturer says it can tow up to 2500kg then it is fine to do so.

The first step is to get your hands on VW's trailer wiring kit and then change over the useless Euro trailer plug to a 12 pin with a reed switch to disable the reverse sensors or a 7 pin + 50A anderson connector.
I think the DSG issues are a bit overplayed there mate. No doubt when they fail it's a disaster but many have no issues.

Rest of advice much appreciated. Those kinds of changes would be completed for sure to get it to happen.

You know your stuff!!
