Expert Answers about Audi A4


  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2009 Audi A4 Wagon
  • The best bike rack I recommend for your 2009 Audi A4 Wagon is the Thule OutWay 3 bike rack, # TH56BV. This is one of the top trunk mount bike racks on the market that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. Thule is a bike rack industry leader that I highly recommend for you. What's nice about this bike rack is that it only uses only 2 retracting cables instead of 6 nylon straps that could wear and stretch over time and it includes locks for peace of mind while you are out on the trail....

  • Fitment of the Thule Pulse M # TH614 with Yakima JetStream Crossbars on a 2002 Audi A4 Sedan
  • Yes! If you have Yakima JetStream Crossbars installed on your 2002 Audi A4 Sedan with a bare roof, the Thule Pulse M # TH614 can clamp onto the crossbars with no problems. This is because the height and width of the JetStream crossbars are the exact same as the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars. If you need a complete roof rack, you need the following components: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Black - 50" Long # Y00425 - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs # Y28TR - 2 sets...

  • Hitch and Ball Mount Solution for 2012 Audi A4 for 8-1/2 inch Rise
  • The issue with Class I hitches like the Curt you have installed on your 2012 Audi A4 is that you can only use the recommended ball mount since it's a lower capacity hitch. Since you have a Curt hitch that's Class I you'd have to use the # C45521 which only has a rise of 2-5/8 inches. There's a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2012 Audi A4 with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7324 which would allow you to use a ball mount with a rise close to what you need like with the # AMSC10 which has an 8-3/4...

  • Best Bike Carrier for 2018 Audi A4 Convertible for Electric Bikes
  • We can help you with a bike carrier solution for your 2018 Audi A4 convertible but standard trunk racks are not a good option. Instead you can bolt on a hitch that will allow use of a much sturdier hitch-type rack and even other accessory carriers and avoid all risk of a bike rack damaging the car's painted finish. For your A4 we offer three hitches that bolt on without drilling, using included hardware. These differ in the difficulty of the installation and just how noticeable the hitch...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2017 Audi A4 Avant
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11448 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 A4. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, part # DT24950 over the Curt hitch because Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for all non-trailer loads. It can be very difficult to find a good attach point on some vehicles. If you are planning on towing I recommend a ball mount like part # C45019. This ball...

  • Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Audi A
  • For ease of use with your 2015 Audi A4, I recommend going with the Yakima Fullback, # Y02634. The Fullback holds a pair of bikes and includes a straightforward installation process using just four straps instead of the common six like the Thule Gateway Pro, # TH88VR. The Fullback also includes folding dual arms for simple storage on the days you won't be using it, and keep in mind that even though trunk-mounted bike racks will not allow access to the trunk while they are in use, the racks...

  • How Difficult to Install is Stealth Hitch for 2017 Audi A4
  • If you have basic hand tools and basic mechanical skills (sounds like you do), then the install of the Stealth hitch part # 391AUDA417T wouldn't be difficult at all. If you didn't want to mess with the install though best option to find a place to install it would be a local mechanic to you with a solid reputation.

  • Best Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2002 Audi A4 3.0L Quattro
  • The SportRack Semi-custom roof rack # SR1002 will fit your 2002 Audi A4. This roof rack fits many vehicles since it is not a completely custom fit rack. For a custom fit rack that will fit much better you can use Rhino-Rack roof rack using the following parts: Vortex Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Custom clamp kit # DK031 This rack will fit the contours of the roof of your 2002 Audi A4 sedan with naked roof much better than a semi-custom rack.

  • Recommended Hitch Adapter For 5 Inch Rise On Class I Hitch Receiver
  • For your 2016 Audi A4, I recommend the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. This will give you the additional ground clearance you need but will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. You will also need to use the 2 inch adapter on your bike rack.

  • Snow Tire Chain Recommendation with Rim Protection for a 2008 Audi A4
  • I have a few sets of snow tire chains that will work with the 235/40ZR18 tires on your 2008 Audi A4, but the Thule CB12 tire chains that you referenced do not offer rim protection and they will be too small for your tire size. The Thule tire chains that will work for your car are the Konig CG9 Tire Chains, # TH00023100. These are higher end tire chains that include many great features that traditional tire chains simply don't offer. I have installed these and they're extremely easy to...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2017 Audi A4 with Tire Size 245/35ZR19
  • For your tire size of 245/35ZR19 I'd recommend the Konig tire chains part # TH01221102. These are Class S compatible so they will fit well with 13.5 mm of clearance, would install easily, and will provide you great traction.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2018 Audi A4
  • Starting with the trailer hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # DT24950 for your 2018 Audi A4. Both this Draw-Tite and the Curt # C11448 that is also designed to fit your vehicle feature a similar design and will mount in the same location, however unlike Curt, Draw-Tite does not require that you use an additional safety strap for non-trailer loads (bike racks and cargo carriers) to maintain the hitch warranty. Since this is exactly what you will be using...

  • Roof Rack and Stand Up Paddleboard Carrier for a 2008 Audi A4
  • One of the better kits we have for SUP boards are the aero-style crossbars. These assist in carrying Stand Up Paddleboards by being aerodynamic themselves, and their wider bases providing more stability for the boards. I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Traverse kit, consisting of: Thule WingBars, 47 inches, Silver, part # TH711200 or Black, TH711220 Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, part # TH480R Thule Fit Kit, part # THKIT1212 Thule is compatible with a wide range of accessories and also...

  • Recommended Trailer Coupler For Trailer Tongue That Is 2-1/2 inches Wide
  • The closest we come to the 2-1/2 inch center to center measurement of the mounting holes you have on your coupler and trailer are 2-1/4 inches, just as you said you have found. The trailer coupler I recommend is part # CT-2002-Z. This is a 2,000-lb coupler that works with a 1-7/8 inch ball and the mounting holes are 2-1/4 inches apart. With the holes on your trailer tongue you would only be off by 1/8 inch on each. You could ream the holes a fraction and use this coupler. You can have...

  • Tire Cable Recommendation for Fitting Tire Size 245/40-18
  • For lowered priced cables that fit your tire size of 245/40-18 I would recommend the Titan Tire Cables part # TC339DC. Reason being they have a V-pattern which will make for a smoother ride quality.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a Audi A4 2005 for Carrying Bike Rack
  • The Curt hitch part # C11164 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Audi A4 and will work well for carrying a bike rack, BUT I have to recommend you use the stabilizer strap part # 18050 when you carry a non-supported load like a bike rack with this hitch. It is a warranty thing from Curt and if you don't use the strap you will void it. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of...

  • Will Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack TH44VR Fit 2020 Audi A4 W/ Curt Trailer Hitch C11448
  • When we measured the clearance needed to install the Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack TH44VR we actually found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the rack when folded was 5", and when not folded was 12", but Thule's measurement takes in to account 2" clearance to make sure the rack will not contact the bumper. It will for sure work in the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11448 on your 2020 Audi A4 with the rack in the unfolded position, but when folded up...

  • Adapter to Raise Yakima Bike Rack for Better Ground Clearance on a 2011 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11195 sits right under the bottom of the rear fascia on your 2011 Audi A4. This is likely about the same as your current trailer hitch so it would likely not be any better in terms of ground clearance. If your Yakima bike rack is the type that will fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers you could use adapter # HT5R. However, using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. The combined weight of the bike rack and the bikes cannot...
