Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you want an Audi A3 hitch, this is your one and only choice. Which is fine, because this hitch is as good as any aftermarket that I've seen. Good finish, quick ship, and the best price I found was right here on Amazon. It fits nicely, the instructions (although brief) are well done. Follow them step by step. Pretty easy install for any DIY'er.
Only suggestion in installing is DON'T overlook the suggestion to use a magnet to retrieve the 10mm nuts from the posts that hold the bumper through the rear hatch frame. I forgot to do so, and when I pulled the bumper skin off they fell into the frame channel of the car- lost forever. New nuts are easy to come by at the depot.
The hitch also has two carriage bolts that go through the spare tire well and look pretty useless to me. I guess it would help control a rattle, but I don't see how that thin sheet metal I drilled to install can increase the stability of the hitch in any meaningful way.
Also, for the A3, if you're wiring for trailer lighting, there is some good DIY info on the 'net. It is NOT as simple as splicing the brake lights / turn light circuits- the A3 computer varies current to 3 independent lights in each tail lamp module. If it detects an unanticipated load, it will throw an error in the car's computer.
