Expert Answers about Volkswagen Jetta


  • Is Trailer Hitch Available For 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Sedan?
  • Yep! We have two options, a 1-1/4" receiver # C11410 and a 2" # 306-X7311 that'll fit your 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Sedan. Between the two I'd go with the 2" version # 306-X7311 as the 2" receiver gives you access to the most accessories as it's by far the most common receiver size. If you can tell me what you'll be using your hitch for I'd be happy to recommend some accessories to get you on your journey!

  • Bike Rack Recommendations For a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI With 1-1/4 Hitch
  • We have exactly what you will need to carry a womens and a mans bike with your 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. The first decision you will want to make is the style of bike rack that you want. You can get either a platform-style bike rack or a hanging style bike rack. The main difference between the two, other than the mounting style, is that an adapter bar, like the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, may be necessary for angled or alternative bike frames with the hanging style bike racks....

  • Will the Thule Passage 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack fit a 2013 VW Jetta TDI Sedan
  • Yes, I checked with Thule and the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # TH910XT that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta sedan. I attached a review video for this product and installation instructions for you to check out also. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment...

  • Purpose of Red Wire on Curt 59146 Wiring Harness
  • Although we do not carry the Curt 59146 I can tell you that the red wire connects to the brake light wire on your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. This is a 3 to 2 wire converter so it will combine the brake and turn signals to be compatible with the trailer wiring system. If you do not connect the red wire the stop signal will not be sent to the trailer lights.

  • Will TireMinder A1AS TPMS for RVs and Trailers Interfere with Bluetooth Backup Cameras
  • The TireMinder A1AS TPMS for RVs and Trailers part # TM79FR uses Bluetooth so it does operate on a 2.4Ghz frequency as well. Therefore, there is a potential for interference. I spoke to TireMinder about this and they said to keep the monitors a few feet apart and there should be no issue but we do also carry systems which operate on a different frequency, the TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers part # TM56FR for example operates on a 433MHz frequency.

  • Roof Rack for 2019 Volkswagen Jetta with Panoramic Roof
  • I checked with our roof rack manufacturers that have fits for your 2019 Volkswagen Jetta like the Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK424 and they all do fit with your panoramic roof but they state not to open the roof with the rack installed.

  • Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Sedan
  • I have a solution for you but EcoHitch does not make a hitch receiver for any 2009 Volkswagen Jetta model. I checked with Ecohitch they did not start making hitch receivers for the Jetta SportWagen model's until 2010 and the Jetta sedans until 2015. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11474. This hitch receiver is a confirmed fit for the TDI models. It has a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. This is a class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
  • All three of the hitches you referenced are essentially the same thing and would use the same installation points. The part number 24680 and 77027 are now obsolete but have been superseded by the # 24748 that you referenced. If you go the # 24748 you should be able to reuse the holes that were already drilled on your vehicle. Check out the install video I attached.

  • Troubleshooting a 2020 Jetta R-Line With No Working Driver Side Signals
  • Monty, the first thing I'd do is make sure everything is plugged in properly and the connectors aren't damaged in any way. The next thing, and honestly the last thing you can check is the fuses. Since the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118791 just plugs into your factory wiring and does not require any splicing there shouldn't have been any issue with the wiring itself, so it leads me to believe the fuse might be blown on the power wire. It also wouldn't...

  • Dimensions of Kuat Sherpa 2.0 When Folded
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G will be the same 42-1/4 inch width whether or not it is folded; as for the length it will measure 17-1/8 inches from the the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part of the carrier and will measure 24-7/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the highest point. This bike rack is a fit for 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches and has a 40 lb per bike capacity. It weighs just 32 lbs to make handling it an easy task; has keyed-alike hitch and cable locks...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2021 VW Jetta GLI Dual Exhaust
  • I have a solution for you and a great hitch for your 2021 VW Jetta with dual exhaust but the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11540 you were looking at will not fit. Instead you will want the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 24978. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jetta with included hardware. It mounts behind the rear bumper instead of below your frame. This gives you better ground clearance and appearance. The Draw-Tite hitch also avoids any compatibility issues...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Compatible Ski Rack for a 2013 VW Jetta
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier item # RR574 is compatible with the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs item # RR73MR. The Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs item # RR73MR is confirmed to fit the 2013 VW Jetta sedan. This kit mounts directly to the side of your roof without drilling and has more than enough capacity for a ski rack carrier. It has a flush design which means the crossbars do not extend past the mounting feet. I have linked an installation video...

  • Which Yakima Q Clips for Q Towers on 2017 Volkswagen Jetta
  • You are correct that the Yakima Q Clips that you need for your 2017 Volkswagen Jetta, Q116 and Q127, have been discontinued by Yakima. I am not sure why the system is bringing up the Q114 Q Clips, but they are not compatible with your Jetta. I do have another option as Yakima discontinued most of the Q Clips and Q Tower systems and transitioned to their Baseline System. I recommend getting the Yakima Roof Rack System for your Jetta. I attached a video review of the Yakima Roof Rack System,...

  • How to Wire the 2009 VW Jetta with a Trailer Towing Wire Kit
  • Yes, the 2009 VW Jetta has a alternate wiring system called multiplexed, which means that multiple signals on each side of the vehicle are carried on one wire. The part # C59496, Heavy Duty ModuLite with Circuit Protection, is the correct harness but you will need to wire the converter differently on your vehicle. We have a Tech Bulletin (see link) that you can review to help also. On the driver's side behind the taillight, you will need to find the wire that has multiple functions, with...

  • Hitch Options For 2020 VW Jetta R-Line
  • Yes the Curt trailer hitch receiver custom fit # C11540 will fit your 2020 VW Jetta R-Line. It is a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. It doesn't need drilling for installation, you'll have to lower the exhaust temporarily for installation and you may need to modify or trim the heat shield and underbody trim panel. Here is a hitch bike rack that can fit 1-1/4 to 2 inch hitch receivers SportRack Pathaway Deluxe 3 Bike Rack # SR2703. If you need to attach more than 3 bikes we have many other options...

  • Best Value Roof Rack for 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  • Best option as there isn't a way to convert the rack you have now to fit your 2011 VW Jetta. We have had pretty bad luck with the Sportrack roof racks so I would strongly recommend you go with the Roa part # R5015 as this will install much easier, be much more secure and is also priced great when compared to the Sportrack.

  • Recommended Hitch and Expander for a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta
  • Anything's possible with the right amount of know-how, but as it stands the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7311 is not going to work. Instead, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 paired with the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD will get you where you want to be. This'll turn your 1 1/4" receiver into a 2" receiver so you can use your bike rack.

  • Class I Trailer Hitch Availability for 2017 Volkswagen Jetta
  • For a hitch for the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta I checked directly with Draw-Tite and Curt, our two primary hitch suppliers, to see if they have recently confirmed hitch applications for your Jetta. Draw-Tite has confirmed that their 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch # 24926 is a confirmed fit on the gas-engine 4-door Jetta sedan so long as it is not the TDI or Hybrid version. The hitch comes with all required mounting hardware; the written instructions and an install video are linked for you. This...
