Expert Answers about Audi S4


  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Audi S4
  • The best solution I can recommend for your 2012 S4 would be a trunk mounted bike rack since there are no hitches available confirmed to fit your 2012 Audi S4. The nicest trunk rack we offer is the Thule OutWay Rack part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 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...

  • Tire Chains for a 2016 Audi S4 with 255/35-19 Tires
  • I think the dealer might be pulling your chain (pun intended). Once I was able to get to the Audi parts website to look up tire chains there was nothing special about the chains they have. I am thinking that the vehicle requires Class S chains but I was unable to access the owner's manual for a 2016 Audi S4. Check your owner's manual for more specific information on tire chains. We have many Class S tire chains available, some that only mount to the outside and tread of the tires so there...

  • Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform and Rail Kit for Thule Roof Rack on 2005 Audi S4
  • The Rhino-Rack Pioneer SX Platform Roof Tray # RR44103B referenced in your question is actually designed to mount to a vehicle's roof using specific Rhino-Rack SX Legs. This will not work with the Thule Roof Rack already on your 2005 Audi S4. For the Pioneer Platform Rack that is designed for use with roof rack crossbars like what you have you instead want the Rhino-Rack # RR42115BF. This 58 inch long x 47 inch wide rack (the largest such available) will clamp around the Thule bars on...

  • Complete Towing Setup For 2018 Audi S4
  • We have exactly what you are looking for. I recommend going with Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # 391AUDA417T which includes not only the receiver (for accessories) and ball mount (for towing), but also the necessary trailer wiring to add a 4 way flat trailer connector to your 2018 Audi S4. You first need to install a 4 way as mentioned above and then it can be converted to 7 way. To convert the 4 way flat to 7 way round, you will want to...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2008 Audi S4 Sedan

This unique harness uses zero-contact interface sensors that will identify the current flowing through each wire simply by clamping onto it.

  • Bike Rack Solution for a 2011 Audi S4
  • I have a solution for your 2011 Audi S4 to carry bikes, but there are no hitches available for your vehicle so I don't have a hitch to recommend. Instead I would recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # Y02634. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 4 straps instead of the usual 6. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. This also comes with a lock. If you plan on carrying...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2013 Audi S4 Sedan
  • The trunk-mount bike racks recommended for your 2013 Audi S4 Sedan can be seen on the linked page. These include both 2- and 3-bike carriers in both the hanging and platform styles. In general it is wise to use as lightweight a rack as possible in order to minimize the weight load on your trunk, but it is also true that the racks with the best construction and the most included features (like built-in locks) tend to weigh more. Better racks also tend to be easier to mount on the car. A...

  • Does Thule Upride Bike Rack Fit Yakima Jetstream Roof Rack
  • The Thule UpRide roof bike rack part # TH599000 that you referenced does fit the top channels of the Yakima Jetstream crossbars. So this bike rack with the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00432-0433 and you'd be set!

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2001 Audi S4
  • Platform bike racks have a few advantages. They are much easier to load/unload, they hold the bikes in a way that doesn't allow any movement like a hanging rack, and they don't require the use of an adapter bar when carrying a womens or alternative framed bike. For a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR. This is a platform bike rack that only weighs 20 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2011 Audi S4
  • There is not a harness that plugs into your factory wiring without splicing so I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. This will have the amperage you need whether you pull a trailer with incandescent or LED lights. I've attached a video of this installation on a Q7 to assist with the installation. I've also attached the installation instructions to help.

  • Yes, the Curt hitch part # 11164 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Audi S4 Avant Wagon. If you were in need of trailer wiring too you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 119250KIT as well.

  • Best Tire Chains for Use on 2014 Audi S4 with 245/40-18 Tires
  • Chains that are easy to install and remove tend to get used more, and so tend to actually help you in bad weather. Chains that are tough to install and adjust often remain in the trunk and do you no good. So I suggest you select chains that offer automatic tensioning and quick-release, such as the Pewag Servo RS chains # PWRS75, that are shown in the linked video. These chains feature automatic tensioning, quick-release and rim protection. You can click on the linked page to see all available...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack For A 2006 Audi S4 Convertible
  • For your 2006 Audi S4 Convertible, I recommend the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount, # SA805BL. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. It's Ached design fits over most spoilers and the injection-molded plastic arms and legs are durable and rustproof. Articulated rubber feet and vinyl-coated hooks help protect your vehicle. You may also be intersted in the stabilizer straps # SA3033 to keep your bikes handlebars and wheels straight during transport. With...

  • Recommendation for Hauling a Dirt Bike With a 2012 Audi S4
  • I recommend using a small trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7 for hauling your dirt bike. With the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 391AUDA4A5S5T on his 2012 Audi S4 using a Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 will sit very close to the ground. With a carrier sitting low like that you will have issues with it dragging on steep driveways and possibly on curbs. The trailer will also give you more usability rather than only being able to carry...
