Expert Answers about Volkswagen Jetta
- Can I Switch from a 4 Way Connector on my Trailer to a 7 way Connector?
- If I'm understanding you correctly, you'd like to switch the 4 way connector on your trailer to a 7 way round connector, which is absolutely possible and is required if you're doing something like adding electric brakes to your trailer.
To add a 7 way to your trailer, I recommend using the Epicord # 277-000141 because it comes with a junction box attached that will make the wiring of the new trailer connection much easier. You will want to cut the 4 way on your trailer off and wire those...

- For your 2020 Volkswagen Jetta, the Curt # C11540 you'd looked at will be a fit unless the vehicle is a GLI model. The hitch provides a 1-1/4 inch receiver, and you really won't need anything else. If your bike rack doesn't already have an anti-rattle feature, you might be interested in an anti-rattle device like part # RM-061-125 which will prevent the shank of your bike rack from moving about in the receiver tube. Other than that, you'll be good to go.

- You are correct that the Curt Q-series hitches cannot be used with a Sidewinder or any pin box that rotates. This is because of the spherical axial bearing for the pivoting head.
For an air ride coupler I suggest the 5th Airborne Premium # RP78FR. The 5th Airborne has an air spring for a high-quality, comfortable ride.

- One of our most popular 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch trailer hitch adapters is the Brophy Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter, # HT5R. This adapter provides a 5 inch rise for improved ground clearance.
Keep in mind, using a trailer hitch adapter or extender will decrease the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. All of the trailer hitches we offer for your 2014 Jetta Sportwagen are Class I trailer hitches with a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. Using an adapter will...

- Anything's possible with the right amount of know-how, but as it stands the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7311 is not going to work.
Instead, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 paired with the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD will get you where you want to be. This'll turn your 1 1/4" receiver into a 2" receiver so you can use your bike rack.

- Thule used to offer an adapter to allow their roof-mount bike racks to attach to factory roof racks like that on your 2008 Volkswagen Jetta but they no longer do, so a new rack will be your best option and we can help you to choose one. Avoiding an adapter will also help reduce the overall height of the vehicle with the bike loaded.
The linked article will help you consider the best rack type for your particular bike, and the linked product page will let you see all carrier options which...
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness for 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
- You're looking for the Tekonsha # 118572 which is a confirmed fit on the 2015 VW Jetta TDI. This harness will tee into the existing vehicle lights to provide you with a 4 way connector for your trailer. If you also need a ball mount and hitch ball, I recommend using the Curt Ball Mount # C45520 and either the # C40018 (2" ball) or # C40001 (1-7/8") depending on the trailer coupler you're towing.
I've linked an installation video of the Tekonsha wiring harness that I recommend having a...

- I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24866 for your 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The Curt hitch is not confirmed to fit the TDI model of your Jetta. The Draw-Tite hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required and has a black powder coated finish that offers a superior rust protection.
For the wiring harness you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118667. I like the T-One harness over the other harnesses that we offer because it has a more reliable...

- For the 2003 Jetta Wagon we offer no base plates for flat towing but we do have them for the 2003 VW Jetta sedan. The Blue Ox base plates that fit the car are part # BX3827. These are fully compatible with the Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380.
Safe and legal flat towing requires a number of other components too, including safety cables (which come with the Aladdin), a wiring/lighting kit and a braking system for the towed car. Also a high/low hitch adapter is often needed to keep the connected...

- I have a solution for you but EcoHitch does not make a hitch receiver for any 2009 Volkswagen Jetta model. I checked with Ecohitch they did not start making hitch receivers for the Jetta SportWagen model's until 2010 and the Jetta sedans until 2015. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11474. This hitch receiver is a confirmed fit for the TDI models. It has a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. This is a class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver...

- Blue Ox gives base plates # BX3823 an installation rating of 3. The installation rating is a rough measure of the time required for baseplate or bracket installation by a trained installer. These numbers can be used as rough suggested installation time by a trained installer. The first installation of a particular baseplate, and installation by untrained individuals will likely increase installation time substantially.
It is strongly recommended to have them professionally installed....

- The trailer hitches that fit your Jetta are all class I hitches with a gross towing weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, which are common ratings for Class I trailer hitches. To verify that you can tow your cargo trailer, you will need to check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify the towing capacity of your vehicle.

view full answer... - Is a Fuse Bypass Needed When Flat Towing a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
- You don't need to pull any fuses when flat towing your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta so a fuse bypass isn't necessary, but I will say that if you will be using a braking system that pulls power from your vehicle battery you'll want to add the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to keep your battery from draining.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter....

- Congratulations on your decision to have the convenience of a car along when you venture out.
To wire your Jetta for towing there are 2 systems available. The first is a kit, # RM154, uses taillight isolating diodes to power your car taillights. This kit will require the use of a vehicle to vehicle taillight converter, # 118158, if you would like the amber turn signals to be active when flat towing. Two additional diodes, # RM-792,would be needed also. If the amber lights do not concern...

- To tow a trailer with any vehicle you will need a trailer hitch, ball mount kit, and a wiring kit to activate the trailer lights.
