[Vwdiesel] Flat towing an A1

[dieseltdi at earthlink.net]

Well I was supposed to go up to Kansas today and pick up the Caddy I bought
last week but mother nature decided to turn north Texas into the great
frozen north.  Anyway, that being said, I was going to rent a tow dolly to
bring the truck down but got to thinking.  I have an old beetle tow bar that
I have successfully used to tow vehicles with bumpers that stand off from
the body like those of the pickup.  Requires a length of pipe, some chains
and the two tow eyes on the bumper brackets.  Anyway, can an A1 be flat
towed in neutral without damaging the tranny?  Thank, Hayden
