Expert Answers about Audi A3


  • Will Any Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Parts from a Volkswagen Tiguan Fit a 2015 Audi A3
  • You may be able to use some of the old parts from the Rhino-Rack roof rack you had on your Tiguan with your 2015 Audi A3. I can tell you the parts needed for your Audi and you can see if any of the parts you have will work. The 2015 Audi A3 will use Rhino-Rack custom clamp kit # DK425 (which you would not have since they are vehicle-specific), 2500 series legs # RRRLKVA, and 49 inch long crossbars # RRVA126B-2. Since the Tiguan had side rails then really the only part you could reuse are...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2011 Audi A3 TDI S-Line
  • I went ahead and verified with the manufacturer for you that the Curt hitch will indeed fit your 2011 Audi A3 TDI S-Line with the Sport package; the correct part number for the hitch is the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11192 The Curt # C11192 will fit your Audi and is nice because the crosstube is entirely concealed so that the only thing showing is the receiver, helping your A3 keep its factory appearance. If you plan on using this for just an accessory like a bike rack,...

  • Towing a Jet Ski Trailer with a 2015 Audi a3
  • Yes you are correct that we only carry Class I hitches for this vehicle because Class II hitches are generally too heavy duty for towing with vehicles like your 2015 Audi A3. One point to check first would be the weight of the jet ski and trailer. A jet ski could weigh between 450-1100lbs and a trailer an additional 250lbs or more. I looked up the maximum trailer weight in the owners manual that let me know a trailer for your vehicle is limited to a typical Class 1 or Class 2 trailer....

  • 3-Bike Trunk Rack for 2015 Audi A3 5-Door Sportback
  • The hatchback version of the 2015 Audi A3 is known as the Sportback e-tron, which is a plug-in hybrid. Very few of this particular model have been brought into the U.S. Most were sold in Europe. This could easily be why bike rack companies like Saris did not (or were not able to) test fit this car for a 3-bike trunk-mount rack. We also do NOT have the hatchback included in our own FitGuide. BUT (good news) Thule, who markets bike racks globally, does have a confirmed 3-bike rack fit for...

  • Does Thule Outway Trunk Rack Fit 2023 Audi A3 Sedan
  • Excellent choice, and I just verified with Thule that the Outway does indeed fit your 2023 Audi A3 sedan; the correct part number for the rack is the following: - Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH45JV This is a really easy to use bike rack, weighing just 18 lbs so it is lightweight, and has rubber hooks so it won't scuff, scratch or otherwise damage your Audi when you have it on. The only other thing you might need, if you plan on carrying a bike with a women's/alternative...

  • Is Lift Needed to Install Curt Hitch on 2017 Audi A3 or Drop Exhaust or Bumper Fascia
  • I checked with Curt and to install the hitch part # C11399 on a vehicle like your 2017 Audi A3 it is not required that you jack up the rear of the vehicle. There's enough clearance at the rear of the vehicle. Nothing gets removed from the vehicle to install the hitch either like the rear bumper or exhaust. Thankfully the hitch just raises into position without interference. The only think you will have to do is enlarge some existing holes by drilling, filing, or using a rotary tool.

  • How to Install a Bike Rack on a 2022 Audi A3
  • To carry a bike with your 2022 Audi A3 you'll need to have a hitch fabricated by a shop (since there are none custom made for your vehicle), or use trunk mounted rack since there currently (July 2023) are not roof rack options for your vehicle either. For a trunk mount rack I recommend the Thule OutWay which comes in 2 different styles: - Hanging Style 2-Bike # TH45JV OR 3-Bike # TH56BV - Platform Style # TH65JV This rack was designed for high-end vehicles both with how it attaches...

  • Compatibility of Thule OutWay # TH56BV with 2006 Audi A3 5 Door Hatchback
  • According to Thule, the OutWay 3 Bike model, part # TH56BV is indeed a fit for your Audi A3 5 door hatchback. The OutWay features ratcheting hooks that attach the rack to the car, instead of the difficult to use straps and buckles used by other racks. One of the ratchets is lockable, which secures the rack to the vehicle. The rack itself features a locking cable to secure the bikes to the rack. Just a quick caution, you will want to avoid using the rear wiper while the rack is in place. If...

  • Recommendation on a Roof Rack and SUP Carrier to Fit a 2017 Audi A3
  • For your 2017 Audi A3 I recommend the Yakima RoundBar system using the 48 round crossbars # Y00408, BaseLine towers # Y28TR, adapters # Y03536, and BaseClips # Y06123 and # Y06159. This roof rack will mount to the bare roof of your A3 using custom-fit brackets. The brackets will use soft foot pads to protect the surface of your vehicle. The Thule SUP Shuttle Stan-Up Paddleboard Carriers, # TH811XT, will then work well with this roof rack for your application!

  • Will the Thule Outwat Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2007 Audi A3 Sportback
  • I checked with Thule and the OutWay # TH45JV is indeed a fit for your 2007 Audi A3 Sportback. We have not install this rack on a vehicle like yours at this time so I do not have any pictures I can show you but Thule does list it as a fit. I own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is the best trunk mount rack I have ever used. We love the retractable cables that make installation a breeze. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across...

  • Will Roof Rack From 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan Fit 2015 Audi A3
  • I called my contact at Rhino-Rack and asked about the older Sportz roof rack you have from your Tiguan. They told me that the bars have changed in design and they do not have the items needed to install that system on your Audi. They told me that the crossbar attach points have changed and chances are that the roof rack crossbars needed for the A3 are longer and the older bars you have would not work. If you like the Rhino-Rack Aero crossbars I recommend the Vortex roof rack for your...

  • Thule Roof Rack for 2015 Audi A3 Sedan with Bare Roof
  • If your 2015 Audi A3 4-door sedan has a bare roof with no sort of fixtures on it we can offer you a Thule roof rack.

This rack offers a 165-lb load rating ant it will be compatible with virtually all roof-mount accessory items such as bike carriers like the Thule UpRide # TH599000 and the ProRide # TH598004.
