Yes. Remove the spare tire and jack from inside the trunk, and remove the three screws holding the plastic bumper fascia to the bottom of the trunk pan. Also remove the two rearmost plastic drain plugs from the bottom of the trunk pan.
No drilling is required. However, fascia trimming is required. Using a rotary cutting tool, remove material from the lower part of the plastic fascia as shown in the Fascia Trim Detail (trim area is 3 1/4" wide, 2.25" from centerline of vehicle).
The plastic bumper fascia trimming is permanent. Material is removed from the lower part of the fascia using a rotary cutting tool. The drain holes in the trunk pan are sealed with silicone caulk and then fitted with spacer plates and bolts, which is also permanent.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This includes the carriage bolts and hex flange nuts securing both the main hitch brackets and the spacer plates in the drain holes.

Fasteners should be left loose during initial assembly. In step 6, the hitch is loosely secured with hex flange nuts. All 1/2" hardware is torqued to 110 ft-lbs only in step 8, after the hitch is fully positioned and the drain holes are sealed.
Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual states the gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch but does not provide the specific value. Contact Curt Manufacturing at 1-877-287-8634 or consult your Audi A4 Sedan owner's manual for the vehicle's towing capacity.
Non-trailer loads can be applied to this hitch only if they are supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
