Title: Transporting a Washing Machine
Post by: irish_ram on November 07, 2014, 07:49:42 pm: A bit of an odd question but has anyone transported a washing machine in their MK5. Want to check will it fit and also if the weight on the back if okay

Cheers

As long as it will fit, the weight will be fine - washing machines aren't that heavy tbh :happy2:
