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,... view full answer...
The overall depth of the hitch attachment of the Stealth hitch part # SH34FR is 5-1/2 inches from front to back and then 3-1/2 inches from the pin hole to the very back of the hitch tube. Based on that we know the Kuat NV2.0 Base # BA22B and the NV 2.0 # NV22G are a confirmed fit and would work great.
To upgrade it to a kit that has the ball mount platform you'd need the part # SH39FR as well. view full answer...
Curt # C11399 trailer hitch for the 2016 Audi A3 is a great choice. It is a class I hitch which has a 1-1/4" receiver. It is a confirmed fit for your Audi A3.
The Curt hitch also requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 if using the hitch with anything other than a trailer such as a bike rack or cargo carrier per Curt's warranty requirements. view full answer...
This would depend on the dimensions of your motorcycle. The biggest carrier would be the 19 inch by 47 inch Curt cargo carrier part # C18110 which fits Class II hitches like what you have and has a 300 lb capacity. The total weight of the carrier is 30 lbs which gives you 320 lbs of capacity left over for the weight of your motorcycle. This does not have a ramp that comes with nor is one made specifically for it. So if you're okay with lifting the bike, and it would fit, you could lift... view full answer...
It looks like you need to transport/carry bikes on your 2016 Audi A3 E-Tron. If that is the case then I do have an option for you but they do not make a trailer hitch for the E-Tron version of the 2017 Audi A3. Therefore, the next best option to carry bikes is with a trunk mount bike rack. For this, I recommend the Yakima FullBack Bike Rack part # Y02634 for two bikes or part # Y02633 for three bikes.
The Yakima FullBack is an excellent option for you. It has anti-sway cradles to keeps... view full answer...

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... view full answer...

The best trunk mount bike rack for a 2017 Audi A3 Enron is the Yakima FullBack Bike Rack part # Y02634 or part # Y02633. The FullBack has a nice sleek black powder coated finish so it won't stand out too much, anti-sway cradles so the bikes don't come into contact with each other or the vehicle, and it has locks for security of the bikes. Furthermore, it only weighs 21 lbs so it will be super easy to get on and off the vehicle. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11399 will fit your 2020 Audi A3. I recommend using the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH64ZR with Towing Kit # SH34ZR for your 2020 Audi A3 sedan. This has a removable 2" receiver for hitch mounted accessories as well as a 2" ball mount for towing a small trailer. It also includes wiring for a 4-way flat connector. view full answer...
Your 2008 Audi A3 is only compatible with 1-1/4" hitch receiver.

It has a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs and a gross maximum tow weight of 2,000 lbs.

Yes the Inno roof cargo box part # INBRA1210BK will fit the factory crossbars of your 2011 Audi A3 and would have enough clearance to allow the rear hatch to open as well. view full answer...
I have a great solution for you. You are correct in saying that etrailer only carries the 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver # C11192 for your 2012 Audi A3. With that being said, if you use the Kuat Transfer V2 for 2-inch hitches # KU84FR with a hitch adapter # HTAD, you will decrease the hitch capacity by 50%. If you go along with the Curt hitch # C11192, that means it will be decreased to 1,000 pounds of gross trailer weight and 100 pounds of tongue weight. With your 70 pounds of combined bike... view full answer...
For your 2016 Audi A3 I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11399. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver rated for 200 pounds tongue weight and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Be sure to check the owner's manual for the towing capacities of your vehicle and go by the lower rating.

The T-bolts in the Yakima Replacement T-Bolt with Nut for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailers # Y8880184 are going to measure 3/8" x 1" long. The next size up would be 3" long, but if you can let me know the product you're trying to replace the hardware for I may be able to find an appropriate hardware replacement kit for you. view full answer...
Since your Audi A3's European wiring setup works I recommend not messing with it and installing an independent 4-pole harness for your new trailer. Tekonsha 4-pole kit # C59236 is complete and includes the tester you'll use to identify the tail light wires you will splice into and all the needed connectors as well.
This 4-pole setup will give you the lighting signals you need and provide isolation and protection for the car's internal wiring from any faults or shorts on the trailer. Plus... view full answer...
Installation of Curt trailer hitch # C11192 on your 2012 Audi A3 requires some drilling, bumper removal, fascia trimming, and removal of spare tire and tail lights. None of this is all that difficult, it just takes time. To determine if this is something you want to tackle you can take a look at the video I have linked showing an installation. I have also linked the instructions for you.
You might not need to buy a torque wrench. Most auto parts stores will loan out tools.

Yes, you can tow your jet ski trailer with your 2016 Audi A3; I checked the owner's manual and it is safe to tow your jet ski trailer with this vehicle.

The Saris Bones bike racks, like part # SA805BL, are confirmed to fit your 2015 Audi A3 and are decent bike racks if you are looking for something affordable. If you are wanting a really good bike rack for expensive bikes then I recommend installing a trailer hitch on your newer 2015 Audi A3 and using a hitch mount bike rack to avoid bike rack to vehicle contact, plus most of the hitch mount bike racks have more to offer.
If you were to go with the Saris Bones then you would likely need... view full answer...
The Curt Class 1 hitch, part # C11399 does not require any drilling except to enlarge some existing holes, as you'll see in the instructions that I've linked for you. I believe the install you're speaking of was the Curt Class I, part # C11192 which did require drilling, and was quite the undertaking.
The install of the # C11399 is much easier. view full answer...
