Expert Answers about Audi A3


  • Best Tire Chains for a 2018 Audi A3 e-tron Sportback With 225/40-18 Tires
  • The Konig K-Summit Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # TH02230K23 are a fit for the 225/40-18 tires you have on your 2018 Audi A3 e-tron Sportback. I was not able to reference the owner's manual but if what you said is correct they will work for you as the chains are only 12mm thick which is under your 13.5mm requirement. The K-Summit are a great option for most vehicles because they don't require any internal clearance. However, the other big draw is that the installation process...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron
  • Since there are no hitches that fit the E-Tron models of your 2016 Audi A3 Sportback you'll have to go with a roof rack bike rack setup. Now if you have a totally naked roof you'd want the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK442 for a complete rack. If you instead have rails that run front to back on the vehicle roof you'd need a Thule Roof Rack part numbers # TH711200, # TH460R, and # THKIT4035. Both of these racks use aerodynamic shaped bars which means minimized...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Audi A3 Hatchback and 3 Beach Cruiser Bikes
  • While the 3-bike version of the Saris Bones bike rack # SA801BL physically fits your 2013 Audi A3 hatchback it is limited to 2 bikes according to the fit notes from Saris. I have a couple of 3-bike racks that will work though: We have the Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3 which is a very basic rack and does not have anti-sway cradles. Then the best choice is the Over-the-Top # HRF2-3 which is the perfect option if your A3 hatchback has that spoiler piece at the top of the hatch. This rack...

  • Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Audi A3
  • I'd recommend the Tekonsha ZCI, wiring harness, part # 119250KIT because it won't require cutting into any of the wires on your vehicle's sophisticated wiring system. I've linked to an install video showing this harness being installed on a 2014 A4. The procedure for your A3 will be different, but the video will give you a general idea of what the install will involve. For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt # C11399 that you'd looked at. For a ball mount, use # C45520, a # PC2 hitch pin...

  • Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 120 lb Motorcycle with Class II Hitch
  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2007 Audi A3 for Motorcycle Trailer
  • For lighter duty vehicles like a 2007 Audi A3 there are only lighter duty hitches available like the Curt # C11192. Only way to use this as a tow vehicle will be to tow a small trailer which will also require lighting like the part # 46255. Even if a heavier duty hitch was made for the vehicle the vehicle itself wouldn't be able to handle the weight of the bike and carrier unsupported. The correct ball mount to use would be the part # C45015 as well.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Audi A3
  • 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 recommended ball moutnt is # C45520 and for the pin and clip use # F-4. For a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball I recommend # 19258. And for trailer wiring I recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Install Thule Roof Rack on 2011/2012 Audi A3
  • Thule no longer makes the TH460R Podium feet and have redesigned their entire roof racks so you would not be able to adapt a Podium rack to fit either vehicle. The current foot style is the Evo feet which uses a different fit kit design. For both the 2011 and 2012 Audi A3 you'd need the part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145085 to complete a roof rack.

  • Replacement Vent For Trailer With no Replacement Lid Available
  • There is not a replacement lid for a trailer vent that measures 13-3/8" by 13-1/8" so the only option I can give you is to replace your entire vent. The vent opening would need to be re-sized a bit to make it larger, but this will give you the standard sized, 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" roof vent. You can do this with the MaxxAir Mini Manual RV Roof Vent - Non-Powered - Black # MA00-03750 or White # MA00-03700. These vents fit roofs 1" to 4-1/2" thick and come with the mounting hardware, so the...

  • Sailboat Trailer Towing Setup Recommendation for a 2006 Audi A3
  • The Curt Hitch # C11192 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2006 Audi A3 and has towing capacities of 200 lbs tongue weight and 2,000 lbs total trailer weight so it should do well to tow your boat that only will put 50 lbs of tongue weight on the hitch. You should also consult your owners manual to determine the manufacturer towing capacities and be sure not to exceed the lower of the capacities. To complete your towing setup you may be interested in the following products: Curt...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2006 Audi A3 5-door Sportback
  • Trunk-mount bike racks for your 2006 Audi A3 5-door Sportback are shown on the linked page. These are available in both 2- and 3-bike capacity, but even if you only have two bikes to transport a 3-bike rack can be preferred for the extra space you'll have. This is something to keep in mind especially if you have wide bikes like beach cruisers. A quality feature-packed rack I like is the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV. It comes with all the integrated locking features to keep your bikes...

  • Fairing Recommendation for 2007 Audi A3 Using Thule Roof Rack
  • It sounds like you're looking at the Thule kit that consists of the Evo Clamp foot pack, part # TH710501, and the fit kit part # TH145085. This kit now uses the 53 inch WingBar Aero, part # TH711420, and it fits your 2007 Audi A3 with the glass roof as long as you don't have any factory rails on the roof. For this rack you can use the Thule Fairing, # TH82WV, which measures 44 inches long. This will even further reduce the wing noise by reducing drag.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2016 Audi A3 E-Tron Hatchback
  • We have trunk mounted bike racks that fit the e-tron versions of the 2016 Audi A3 like you have with the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 but the Saris you mentioned does not fit so it would not be the way to go. I attached a picture of this rack installed on an E-tron just like yours for you to check out as well.

  • Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2012 Audi A3
  • Hands down my favorite trunk mount rack is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 which fits your 2012 Audi A3 when you place the base pad 1" above the bumper and place the hub setting at 5. When I've seen review of people not liking this rack their complaint is usually about the difficulty of install but this only uses 4 straps as opposed to 6 straps that other racks use and the way the arms and body adjusts is much easier than other trunk mount racks I've messed with. I actually got...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2016 Audi A3 E-Tron Sportback
  • I did some checking and it looks like the 2016 Audi A3 E-Tron models have the Sportback body design. We do have several trunk mount bike racks that will fit your A3. If you want to carry 2 backs the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 is a great option. What makes this rack stand out from the others is the fact that it uses 4 straps to secure to the vehicle rather than 6 like most others. This makes installation easier and don't worry, it is still as secure as a 6-strap model! There is also a 3-bike...
