Product details

This rigid towbar with bolted-on tow ball head for your AUDI A3 Sportback is produced by the brand manufacturer GDW. This towbar is the right choice for daily and heavy usage. And it's inexpensive. With the towbar System T48, GDW offers a classic hook for your AUDI A3 Sportback that is inexpensive yet sturdy. The focus on durability even with excessive use is typical for rigid, bolted-on towbars.

This towbar has a towing capacity of up to 1800 kg and a vertical load of 90 kg. A fatigue strength of 10 kN is listed for GDW.

A cut in the lower part of the bumper is required during installation. This cut will not be visible. A cutting template or cutting dimensions can be found in the installation instructions. You can fold the removable socket behind the bumper when the towbar is not in use.

Bike carriers can be securely fitted onto this AUDI A3 Sportback towbar.

You will receive detailed installation instructions for this product from the manufacturer GDW. The product was dip-coated. During dip coating, towbars are dipped in a special, durable paint that protects against corrosion.

Please read the instructions and specifications of the vehicle manufacturer when retrofitting a towbar. Normally such information can be found in your vehicle user manual. Your car's parking assistance sensors might detect the tow ball. In reverse it could be recognized as an obstacle.

Installation instructions

Installation instructions are given here in different languages and, depending upon the product, complementary installation help and additional images which make the installation or attachment of the product easier for you.
