took it to holden today, they want to replace the ecu
gonna ask them if they tried resetting it in the morning (after talking to a few people with experience with the ECU)
actually it is JUST over the towing capacity of the combo with a braked trailer.
and the car has more then enough braking capability with the uprated front brakes that they get (and the trailers brakes of coarse), and has more then enough grunt to pull it, had enough to cruise at the speed limit plus the 10% leway when needed.
so there is no real danger, and it wasnt overloading the cars specs ata ll including towbar weight and rear axle weight, just the "recomended" braked towing capacity. i have driven with trailers enough to know if is safe or not, so dont worry bout that.
now the audi that i towed, that was definately overweight .

glad its all fixed though
..wonder if it actually was a -new- ecu they gave you
Should've given AAS a call, he had a box full of various ecu's laying around (plus immobo's and ignition rings)
they could have reprogrammed ur current one.
