The correct wiring harness for your 2015 VW Golf TDI is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. view full answer...
First, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24825, will fit the 2011 Volkswagen Golf. We have estimated that it should take 30 minutes to install the hitch if you have all the correct tools and possibly a helping hand. You can call a local repair shop as labor rates are different everywhere. I have included a link to the installation details so you could print them out and show them to a shop to get a more accurate quote.

The best trailer hitch for your 2018 VW Golf is the Curt # C11412 because it does not require any trimming of the rear fascia on your vehicle.
To add wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 118646 unless your '18 Golf is the GTI; for that you will need Wiring Harness # C56405.
The correct ball mount for your Golf with this hitch is the Curt # C45521 and will require Pin and Clip # F-4 as well as either 1-7/8"... view full answer...
Yes! The Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 is compatible with base plates # RM-521239-5 for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI. I have included a link to a video review of the tow bar for you.
In addition to the base plates and the tow bar you will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For cables I recommend # RM-643 because the coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting I recommend a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. I do not recommend using... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but there are no EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receivers confirmed for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf TSI. The only options confirmed for this are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11412 which is what I recommend using. If you need a 2" opening you can use an adapter like the 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch Adapter part # e43YR just keep in mind your capacity will be reduced by fifty percent. view full answer...
We can help you with everything you need to set up your new vehicle for light towing!
The fits of hitches and wiring can vary depending on the particular model year and vehicle version you choose, so while my recommendations do apply to a 2013 Volkswagen Golf you will want to be certain that once you do purchase the new vehicle you have correct compatible items. By all means come back to us once you are certain of the car you're going to get.
We offer several light-duty Class I hitches... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11412 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI. This is custom designed for this vehicle and will use existing holes in the frame for installation, so no drilling will be required.

Based on the dimensions you listed the correct amount of rise you need from a ball mount is 6 inches. Since the EcoHitch part # 306-X7310 is a 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd want the ball mount # BR39FR and you'd be set.
For a hitch ball you'd want part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. view full answer...
I like the Euro ball mounts like what come with the part # C114121 as they are just a simpler design that doesn't require you to install a ball onto the ball mount. It's permanently fixed there so it is always ready to go. Also it's a bit less bulky so it stores a bit easier.
This is a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf so if you need a hitch and a ball mount that has a 1-7/8 inch ball this would be the part number you would need.
For trailer wiring you then would want the # 118646 which... view full answer...
I'd recommend through bolting the e-track into the available cross members under the trailer floor. You'll want to fasten the e-track to the floor in between those points, but the fasteners you'd use and how many of them will depend on the structure of the floor. If you're talking a wood plank floor, you have plenty of floor structure for the fasteners to bite into, so attaching the track every foot or so would be fine. If the floor is thinner metal, you'll want to use self tapping screws... view full answer...
I'd say an inch would be a good safe amount of clearance if the bike rack is one of the more stable options out there, but if it's a rack that has a bit more movement to it the safer measurement might be more like 1-1/2 inch to 2 inch. Typically up and down, or in and out, movement is not what you see with the racks though. It's more a side to side movement. view full answer...
We can meet all your needs for a roof-mounted bike rack to go with the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR23QR, and the best option to do that is from Kuat. The rack will work with both your bikes because it has a 3-way fork mount system that allows you to carry bikes with a 9-mm quick-release skewer, a 15-mm thru-axle fork, or a 20-mm thru-axle fork. The Trio is available in your choice of two different colors:
- Gunmetal Gray: Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack # RU01

For your 2016 VW Golf, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11412 which is confirmed to fit all 2016 Golf models except the GTI and R models. This hitch has a round tube design and is black gloss powder coated for rust resistance. If you will be using this hitch receiver for accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will also need the Curt Stabilization Strap # 18050.
If you will be using this hitch receiver for towing, I recommend the... view full answer...
For your 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI the best hitch option we have is the Curt part # C11412.
For a bike rack I really like the Saris Superclamp EX part # SA4025F for your application. It fits the Curt hitch well, is very lightweight, and since it only touches the bikes at the tires it won't damage the delicate frame material of your bike either. Check out the review video for this rack for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The EcoHitch Hidded Trailer Hitch part # 306-X7310 is a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf TDI and would be a great choice. For a bike rack solution, I prefer a hitch rack to a roof rack as it puts the bikes in an easier to load/unload position and also gets them out of the direct wind on the roof.
For a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR.
This is a platform bike rack that only weighs 20 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always... view full answer...
Since your 2012 Volkswagen Golf 5-door hatchback has that spoiler at the top of the rear hatch there is just one trunk mount bike carrier I recommend; the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes.
These carriers have an additional upper arm piece to move the top straps up and over the rear spoiler so nothing is touching it and no weight is put on it. I have included a link to a video showing how it works.

Yes, the Curt Hitch part # C11412 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI S. The only TDI Golf it won't fit is the R model.
Please keep in mind that Curt does require the use of Support Straps, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads including bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.

The black wire should have power from the vehicle battery run to it. You might double check that their is a good fuse in the fuse holder. That seems like the easiest solution to your problem assuming all of your connections were made properly.
If you are still having problems you will want to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires going into the box for voltage when the appropriate circuit is activated and then test the output side of the box for the same thing. view full answer...
The ZCI Trailer Wiring harness part # 119250KIT is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI and would work great for trailer wiring.
It is a universal trailer wiring kit that will work well. It doesn't require any hardwiring at all. The harness uses sensors that clamp to the vehicle taillight wiring instead. view full answer...
