Expert Answers about Volkswagen Jetta Wagon


  • Could the Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon Tow a Jet Ski Trailer
  • The Curt hitch part # C11083 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon and would have the capacity to tow a trailer as long as it weighed less than 2,000 lbs. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to make sure that it also has the needed capacity to tow your Jet Ski trailer. For a 1-7/8 inch ball mount you would want the part # C45561 or for a 2 inch ball mount # C45562. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # C56175.

  • Replacement LED Light Assemblies for Wesbar 403078 on Trailer
  • The lights you have on your trailer are Wesbar 403078 model assemblies and they are unfortunately obsolete. For a similar LED light that should work well as a replacement I recommend the Wesbar Wraparound LED # 271594 for the Passenger Side and # 271595 for the Driver Side. These lights have overall dimensions of 7 inches long, 3-3/4 inches tall, and 3 inches deep. The mounting holes are spaced apart 2 inches on center. I have also attached a diagram with these and some additional measurements...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon
  • The Sportrack Roof Rack part # SR1098 is a confirmed fit for the raised rails of your 2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon. This is a semi-custom rack that will technically fit and work but it may not provide you the best fit since it's designed to fit as many vehicles as possible. A better solution would be the INNO Square Bar rack part # INB117 and # INFR which is a custom fit rack for your vehicle and has a very similar price. For J-style kayak carriers we have the Thule Hull a Port part #...

  • 57-1/2 inch Long Trailer Axle for Snowmobile Trailer
  • The hubs you have would not fit on the CE Smith axle you mentioned # CE33201GA as they are going to have bearings that will have too small of an inner diameter. Best option would be to go with the version of this axle that has hubs with it with part # CE33201GA-HUB.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon
  • The only trailer wiring harnesses we offer for your 2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon are universal hardwire kits like the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. I attached an install video that shows this harness getting installed on a different vehicle to give you an idea of how it will install on your Jetta Wagon.

  • Trunk and Roof Mount Bike Racks and Roof Rack for a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon
  • Both trailer hitch manufacturers and bike rack manufacturers agree that you can only carry 2 bikes maximum on a Class I trailer hitch. The issue isn't the weight of the bikes, it is how far that weight is from the trailer hitch receiver. The more weight placed further away from the receiver, the more leverage it produces and it can damage the hitch and the vehicle. To carry more than 2 bikes you would need to also use a roof rack. What I recommend is to carry 3 bikes using a trunk mount...

  • Lug Nuts that Can Fit on Wheel Studs 7-262
  • Yes the lug nuts you mentioned part # 12CLN-L are a fit to the wheel studs part # 7-262. The Lynx trailer wheel part # LHSL311 has a 4.25 inch pilot diameter so the wheel center cap part # 425EZ would fit. The EZ lube grease cap part # RG04-010 is a standard size grease cap plug for EZ lube spindles so it should work fine as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon To Haul Yuba Mundo Heavy Electric Bike
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11083 for your 2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon is a Class I receiver. This will limit the amount of accessories that are available and capable of working for your Jetta. Drilling is also required for the installation of this hitch. The RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack # RKY10007 is one of our class I racks and it will max out at 60lbs of capacity. I did see that the Yuba Mundo is over 83" long and that would definitely cause concern for sticking out past...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon
  • I'd recommend the Curt Class I Hitch, part # C11083. This hitch is compatible with TDI models. I have linked you to the installation instructions. This will work well with your Swagman XC part # S64650. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

  • How To Unlock the Steering Wheel While in Tow on a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon
  • The owner's manual for your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon should give you the correct procedure that is needed to unlock the steering wheel while in tow (if applicable). The flat towing procedures such as unlocking the steering wheel are usually under a section titled, "Recreational Towing". I was not able to reference the online version of your owner's manual unfortunately. With that being said, if you turn the key into the "ACC" position then that will unlock the steering wheel on most...

  • I checked with Malone and the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms Item # MPG2139 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2002 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon. This is a great rack at a great price that should work well for you. To see a list of all of the trunk racks that have been confirmed to fit your vehicle check out the link I attached.
