Expert Answers about Volkswagen Golf
- Does EcoHitch for 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI Affect Crash Stability
- The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7375 that you referenced does replace the bumper beam and the foam piece that fits into the bumper beam. Essentially this replaces the bumper beam. The main crumple zones of the vehicle are still in front of the beam so basically the crash performance is unaffected.

- I have a solution for you to be able to get to 7" of total rise.
The Brophy Anti-Rattle Drawbar # BR39FR is a 1-1/4" ball mount that will give you 5-1/2" inches of rise. That is the largest rise that I have been able to find.
You can couple that with the Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C94CR. It will fit the 3/4" hole in the Brophy ball mount. The ball does sit 1-1/2" taller than a traditional hitch ball thanks to the shock absorbing mechanism. This will also give you...

- I have a bike rack solution I can recommend for you, but the Yakima Holdup 2 part # Y02445 that you referenced can only be used in Class II hitches. The Curt Hitch part # C11412 that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI is a Class I hitch so it would not be compatible with the Holdup.
For a similar bike rack that will fit the Class I hitch for your vehicle you would want the Thule T2 part # TH9045. This will clear your rear bumper and would work very well for you....

view full answer... - Advantage to Curt Hitch with Euro Ball Mount for 2016 Volkswagen Golf
- I like the Euro ball mounts like what come with the part # C114121 as they are just a simpler design that doesn't require you to install a ball onto the ball mount. It's permanently fixed there so it is always ready to go. Also it's a bit less bulky so it stores a bit easier.
This is a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf so if you need a hitch and a ball mount that has a 1-7/8 inch ball this would be the part number you would need.
For trailer wiring you then would want the # 118646 which...

view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Volkswagen Golf R
- The best overall trailer hitch receiver for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf R is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7332 because this is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver, which is important because it give you a much wider range of accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers to choose from.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 VW Golf GTI
- For your 2020 VW Golf GTI, the Curt Class I hitch, # C11412 would be a solid choice. This hitch is a confirmed fit for the GTI model, and is a concealed design which hides the hitch crossbar behind the rear bumper for a much better appearance that what you'd have with a fully exposed hitch. The price difference between it and the EcoHitch is significant. However, there are three reasons that the 2" hitch opening of the EcoHitch Class 2 # 306-X7375 would be worth taking a look at. First,...
view full answer... - Do Trailer Slipper Springs Normally Slip Out of their Rear Hangers
- It's hard to see in your picture but is the hanger open on the one side which allows the spring to slide out to the side? It shouldn't be open like that. If you need a replacement hanger we have the # 115706S for if you have a 1-3/4 inch wide spring. Slipper springs slipping out of their hangers is not common, even though saying that out loud and considering the name...it would seem like it would be!
It would take a rather larger bump and perfect circumstances normally for a spring to...
view full answer... - Hitch and Platform Bike Rack Recommendations for 2015 VW Golf SEL
- It's certainly not hopeless, we can get you though this!
Let's begin with the hitch. Trailer hitches are classified according to their capacity. The smaller the vehicle, the lighter the capacity. Because your Golf is a compact car, it uses a Class I hitch which has the lowest capacity. For a hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412.
Any trusted mechanic would be able to complete the installation for you. I've linked you to the install instructions, so you can print...

- Yes, the Draw-Tite # 24979 is a confirmed fit on your 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI and it will do a good job for you to carry a bike rack. For installation you would likely want to use either an autobody or mechanic's shop, or preferably an RV dealer with a service department since they're also well versed in this type of process- but really anywhere can do this.

view full answer... - Crossbar Spread For Yakima Roof Rack on 2017 Volkswagen Golf
- I checked with Yakima to verify their crossbar spread dimension of their rack that consists of part numbers # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06123, and # Y06125 and it is 32 inches between the front and rear bar on center.
From the front windshield to the front crossbar it will measure 7 inches. You can use these dimensions to find out exactly where the roof rack will end up on your roof.
I attached a picture that I took from Yakima's site to verify this as well.
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch for 2018 VW Golf
- The best trailer hitch for your 2018 VW Golf is the Curt # C11412 because it does not require any trimming of the rear fascia on your vehicle.
To add wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 118646 unless your '18 Golf is the GTI; for that you will need Wiring Harness # C56405.
The correct ball mount for your Golf with this hitch is the Curt # C45521 and will require Pin and Clip # F-4 as well as either 1-7/8"...

view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for 2017 VW eGolf
- Unfortunately there is not a trailer hitch receiver compatible with your 2017 VW eGolf model from any of our manufacturers. The Electric version is a different fit that they haven't completely figured out at this time. That will limit you to a trunk mounted rack which will limit your options slightly, but there are some really good options available that will fit your vehicle.
To carry your bikes, I recommend the Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139. ...

- I do have an option for you but I don't have any way for you to use your old Q-Towers on your new 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI because the clips are just not available. The best option you have to reuse some of the components you have now is to purchase new clips part # Y06123 for the front and part # Y06125 for the rear, new feet part # Y28TR, and the adapter part # Y03536.

- The Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9058 is compatible with the class I trailer hitch receiver on your 2015 VW Golf but not at the same time as you tow a trailer.
