Technical Towing automatic panda

[kezzy]

Hi,
I have a automatic panda that starts but i need to tow. Should i start it, leave it in N /neutral to tow it away ?

The wheels will be rolling on the ground.

Is the issue with towing an auto just to lubricate the gear system ?

Hi ..your panda is a MANUAL gearbox

But the usual 'limit' of 20 miles is probably still sensible

Engine running in neutral will make the DRIVING of the towed panda so much nicer..and safer

You will have assistance to both brakes and steering

You should be using a solid tow bar between bumper eyebolts on the tug car and towed car. This solves most of the braking issues. With engine off, steering is a bit heavy but you don't want too much as the trailer car will follow the tug. The towed driver just needs to add input for tight turns and avoid over-steering at faster road speeds.

On fast roads, 55mph is ok any more causes the towed car to weave.
