Expert Answers about Volkswagen Jetta


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2003 VW Jetta TDI Wagon
  • I'd recommend the Hidden Hitch Class I Hitch, part # 60984. This hitch is compatible with TDI models. I have linked you to the installation instructions, as well as to an install video that you might find helpful.

  • J-Style Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2010 Volkswagen Jetta with Factory Bars
  • For the factory crossbars of your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option. It's a J-style carrier like you said you were interested in that can fold down when not in use. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

  • Recommended Flagpole Holder for 1-1/4 Trailer Hitch
  • Don't worry, I have a solution for you. The Camco Flagpole Holder # CAM51611 will fit into shanks of 2 inches but what you can do is use an adapter to reduce the opening to 1-1/4 to fit your 2001 Volkswagen Jetta hitch. This adapter # HTAD will be compatible with both a Class I and Class II trailer hitch. It will reduce the amount of weight that can be loaded into the receiver by 50 percent. This means if your tongue weight was 200lbs then you will be reduced to 100lbs, which should...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
  • The wiring harness I recommend for your 2013 Jetta Hybrid is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118572. This wire harness plugs into the connection points located in the trunk behind the tail lights. Just plug the harness in, then run a hot lead wire to the positive battery post and it's that simple. Unfortunately we do not have a trailer hitch that is designed to fit the Hybrid Jetta. Due to the structure no hitches are available. It sounds like you are wanting to tow with your...

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
  • I have a bike rack solution I can provide but not with a hitch. Best option we have is a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV which is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside...

  • Replacement Catalytic Converter Recommendation for 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T GTI
  • We have a direct fit cat that will work on your 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GTI 2.0T that would be the much better option. For that we have the part # MF99006HM that will weld right in place of your current one. Or we have the entire catted section of your exhaust that is part # MF49165. That being said the inlet/outlet of the # MF91066 that you referenced matches the custom fit option I first mentioned so it would fit in that regard. It is a few inches shorter though.

There is a wide variety of bike, watersport, and snowsport carriers and cargo boxes available that you can use with this roof rack. I will be happy to make some recommendations for you.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta to Carry 2 Bikes
  • Since you plan on using the hitch for a bike rack and not towing I recommend Curt # C11474. It is just the hitch and the installation hardware as opposed to the hitch, hardware, and a ball mount, which you would not need since you are not towing. I have linked a video to the right showing the hitch being installed. If you already have a bike rack you will need to make sure it is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. If not I recommend the Swagman XTC...

When the designers make these covers they account for AC units or anything else on top of the trailer so you can be confident it will work with your trailer style.

  • Carrying 2 Bikes On a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
  • The 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI can be fitted with Curt trailer hitch # C11410. This is a Class I hitch so you are limited to 2 bikes. Also Curt says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 per their warranty requirements when using the hitch for a bike rack. For a bike rack that is Class I compatible I recommend the Trailhead # S63360. Another option to carry 2 bikes on the vehicle is to use a trunk mount bike carrier.

  • Flat Towing Setup Recommendation for a 2003 VW Jetta TDI Manual being Towed by a Thor Ace
  • When flat towing a vehicle, there are 5 main components that are needed. For a base plate kit I would recommend you get a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 521228-1. When choosing a tow bar, you will need one that is compatible with EZ base plates. I recommend the RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576. This tow bar comes with safety cables, wiring and quick disconnects as well as being setup for being towed by an RV like your Thor Ace. Next, you will want to consider your lighting...

  • 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!

  • Tow Dolly Recommendation to Tow a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Automatic Behind a Motor Home
  • According to the research I did, a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta automatic has to be towed on a dolly. It cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels down. You will need to check the owners manual for verification. The tow dolly I recommend is the same one that you have referenced, # RM-2050-1. The advantage of this tow dolly is that it has a lot of built in features, such as electric brakes and lights, that will minimize the amount of accessories you will need. In order to operate the electric brakes...

  • Recommended Brake Controller And Wiring For 2000 Safari Trek With Tow Dolly
  • The brake controller I recommend is the Tekonsha P2, part # 90885. This is our most popular brake controller because it is easy to set up and operate. You will need to find the wiring under the dash of your Safari and hardwire the brake controller. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this is done. I do recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 when working with the wiring to make sure you know the function of each wire. To install the P2 you will need to locate...

  • Does EcoHitch that Fits 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Have Capacity for Dirt Bike Carrier
  • The EcoHitch part # 306-X7311 has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs so it would by itself would have capacity for a 250 lb dirt bike, but you have to also consider the capacities of your 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI to make sure it also has the same the capacity. The hitches are rated independently of the vehicles so that is why this hitch may have more capacity than your vehicle. Online I was able to find a capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lb tongue weight but I would also check...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 VW Jetta TDI
  • Curt Manufacturing has determined that their Class I hitch, part # C11410 is a confirmed fit for the 2015 Jetta TDI, unless it's the Hybrid model. For a cargo carrier, I'd recommend the Curt # C18110. The carrier measures 20 x 48 inches, outside dimension and offers plenty of room for gear. Because of the limited 200 lb tongue weight capacity of the Class I hitch, you'll be limited to carrying two bikes. One of my favorite bike racks is the Kuat Beta, part # B202-114. The rack is rugged...
