[urq] Kupplungskugel mit halterung

[Patrick Carlier]

A few years back I wanted a tow bar for my coupe ( non ur-q ) quattro .

It was impossible to obtain on the aftermarket in Europe .
Original audi , wich is what I think you've got , was about 850 USD !!
It's manufactured by westfalia.ag , but it never made it to the aftermarket
.
Very rare , and usually very expensive .
I ended up getting a ball at the scrapyard from some ford , and welded
up a sub frame to make my own towing bar .

Now that i have an Ur-q , I found thesame part as you have on ebay.de
for a 130 $ . But it is with a fixed ball not a detachable one .
It's not on the car yet .

I've seen it twice on different car's , and both had the bumper
uncut . These where coupe quattro's , not ur-q 's .
But I'm pretty you won't have to cut the bumper on your ur-q.

A tow bar to the rest of us!

Has anyone got a tow bar fitted to their urq?
Is it the genuine Audi article?
If so, can it be fitted without cutting bits out of the rear bumper?

I have acquired one that has a detachable ball hitch that can simply be
locked in place when needed. It carries the Audi UK Identification plate
with all the towing weights on it. It also has the manufacturers plate on it
with he following figures:

Type: 305 - 051  Ausr.D
Bauj: 30/86
Prutz: F3516
Stutzlast: 75

The bits that came with it say it is for the Audi Coupe quattro turbo. It
has a large plate, curved at one end that fits inside the boot and curves up
the rear valence withe the main mounting bracket fitting on the outside.

Does anyone have one of these fitted and if so does the bumper have to be
cut. If it does I won't be fitting it.

I have to say it looks a wonderful piece of engineering and must have cost a
fair bit when new.

Any information gratefully received.

Many thanks
