We list a number of different detachable towbars for your vehicle, however the one we would recommend is the Westfalia. Westfalia are the largest towbar manufacturer in Europe and are one, if not the main suppliers of original equipment towbars to Audi as well as many other car manufacturers such Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes and The Westfalia is in our opinion the easiest detachable system to use and normally the neatest. In most cases it is completely invisible when detached, with the electrics normally on a swivel plate that pushes up inside the bumper out of site when not in use.

All towbars we list are EC Type Approved upto the maximum towing capacity for the Audi A4 which is 2000kg (Some models with in the A4 range may have a lower towing capacity – check your vehicle handbook for details). The detachable neck has an inbuilt lock to protect against theft when attached to the towbar and comes complete with two keys.

All towbars for the Audi A4 2004onwards models require a bumper cut. This is due to the location of the Audi specified mounting points and the design of the rear bumpers on this model. The cut should be non visible on all towbars (see fitting instructions for details).
On the electrics we only supply universal electric kits to the public for this vehicle on the recommendations of both the manufacturers/supplies of these kits plus are own technical department. This is due to the complex nature of fitting the vehicle specific plus the high chance of damage to the cars wiring system during fitting. Please note in order to work some of the towing functions available on the Audi A4 such as TSP (Trailer stability program) a vehicle specific kit is required and does requires a dealer download to activate some of these functions.
