A3 Towbar Options

DavidH · 11-04-2007, 04:43 PM

Hello,

I'm looking to fit a towbar to my 2007 A3 2.0TFSI Quattro S-Line.

Ideally it would be a removable type, which would be invisible when removed.

Looking around the internet there seems to be a few options from Bosal / Witter etc. however many of them seem to require the bumper to be cut.

Does anyone have any experience of OEM of aftermarket towbars on the A3.

Cheers

Dave

Lock's like Brink towbars is onely option (in europe)Brink towbars have been used bye AUDI in Norway in several years. They are pleased.

Have a great care n Winter Norway, with SNOW and ICE and every combinations you can ever consider ore dream about, like now, 5 days of snow, 2 days of+ degrees, and then 1 day of -5degree. the hill up to my place ( like a new polished car ice racing area (about 50 mtr.) running up with my car, No slippering, NO antiscid - - -- - - -HMMMM i guess Quattro do the job.
Driving in snow: Wet with Salt and much snow - - - - Pha sunday rtrip (yust faster)
My advice : : just drive on, when you say no more, go on - keep pedal down let QUATRO do the job - - it will - - - i know.

I have also been looking for tow bar (for my 2007 S3) without bumper cut but haven't come across any yet after looking at towequipe, westphalia, brink.

Anyone find one yet? Presumably getting the bumper cut then doesnt look as good and possibly also interferes with the acoustic parking system??

Cheers
