Hi

I do a lot of towing, often right up to the maximum weight limit for my Leon. Would Revo tuning my Leon and towing, be a recipe for disaster? You automatically put the engine under a lot of strain when towing.

Not so worried about my clutch (company car!) It's more blowing a head gasket/killing the turbo or something like that, that concerns me!

Not built for towing? Well in that case, Seat have made an excellent tow car by complete fluke. It's probably one of the best tow cars I've had, RWD and 4x4's included.

I think you misread. He writes I have driven rear wheel drive cars and 4x4 cars and used them as tow cars but none have been as good as my leon. :)

well a car that handles well and has good power will obviously have reasonable towing qualities!

did the other cars have traction control?

Oh. I thought you said that my car was not built for towing?
