Sorry, i was unaware you had your eye already on a particular van.
Legally, you can't tow that van if the ball weight is higher than what VW specs are, which it appears it is.
There will be a reason why VW have put that limitation there. Its not just to annoy people that want to tow. It doesn't matter if it has towed heavy loads previously, or if other members say 'it will be fine'.
What I am suggesting is to just search for a different van that suits your needs and meets the specs of the car. Otherwise, look for a different tow vehicle as well. Legally, that's your options.
If you disregard the law, you may well find the car will tow the van you want fine.... If you want to take that chance, well thats up to you.
