However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Audi A3 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.

The CURT 11192 Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Audi A3 (Part #BKDK11192) fits the following vehicles: 2006-2013 Audi A3. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The CURT 11192 Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Audi A3 (Part #BKDK11192) fits 2006-2013 Audi A3 models. The 2013 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The CURT 11192 Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Audi A3 (Part #BKDK11192) Drilling is required for installation. Typical installation time is 90+ minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, part number 11192 is designed for the Audi A3 Sport Back 5 Door Hatch. This is a receiver hitch installation, and you will need to remove the rear bumper, spare tire, and tail lights, and perform drilling and bumper fascia trimming as part of the installation process.
The Curt 11192 is designed for use with ballmount #D-20 / 45520. Verify that you have the correct ballmount before installation.
You will need: torque wrench, ratchet, screwdriver, magnetic pick-up tool, 9" extension, 10mm deep well socket, 13mm socket, 3/4" socket, 9/16" socket, and T-25 Torx. The 10mm socket must be deep enough to avoid bottoming out on the post when accessing the hex nuts in the trunk.
Yes. You must remove the spare tire and clear the spare tire well of all contents before drilling, as stated in step 3 of the installation instructions.
Yes. Bumper removal is required. The process involves removing torx screws from inside each wheel well, removing both tail lights, removing additional torx screws from beneath each tail light and the underside of the bumper, and removing hex nuts from inside the trunk before pulling the bumper straight backwards.
Yes. You must drill two 1/2" holes on both sides of the bumper beam support rails (through the top side only) and holes into the trunk pan. The hitch is used as a template to mark the hole locations. Drilling is a permanent modification.
Yes. Bumper fascia trimming is required for proper fit. The manual provides a fascia trimming diagram showing trim dimensions of 2.00", 2.25", and 4.75". Trimming is performed in step 7 after the hitch is installed.
Possibly. Step 3 states that you may need to lower the exhaust (2 hangers) and heat shield to access the trunk pan mounting holes when removing the bumper beam. This depends on your vehicle's configuration and the access required during installation.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 75 lb-ft. This applies to the HHCS bolts (part number 10-10035) and associated washers used to secure the hitch to the bumper beam support rails.
All 3/8" fasteners must be torqued to 45 lb-ft. This applies to the carriage bolts (part number 10-10473), serrated flange nuts (part number 20-00102), and washers (part number 30-00148) used in the installation.
In step 4, insert the hex bolts through the hitch into the frame rail, then hold the supplied nut plates (part number CM-11192-NPW, qty 2) inside the frame. Tighten using a 3/4" ratchet on the hex bolt head. Tighten securely on both sides. The nut plates are held in place by the bolts and do not require separate fastening.
1. Remove rear bumper (step 1). 2. Loosen bumper beam and position hitch; mark and drill holes (step 2). 3. Remove bumper beam; lower exhaust/heat shield if needed (step 3). 4. Install hitch onto bumper beam support rails with nut plates (step 4). 5. Reinstall bumper beam with carriage bolts and flange nuts (step 5). 6. Torque all fasteners (step 6). 7. Trim bumper fascia (step 7). 8. Reinstall heat shield, exhaust, bumper fascia, and tail lights (step 8).
The manual does not provide specific towing capacity values. However, it states: "DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY." Consult your Audi A3 owner's manual or contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for capacity information.
Non-trailer loads may be applied to this hitch, but they must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. The manual states: "ALL NON-TRAILER LOADS APPLIED TO THIS PRODUCT MUST BE SUPPORTED BY AUXILIARY STABILIZING STRAPS. FAILURE TO PROPERLY SUPPORT NON-TRAILER LOADS WILL VOID PRODUCT WARRANTY."
After installation, verify that the tail lights work correctly (step 8). The manual also states: "PERIODICALLY CHECK THIS RECEIVER HITCH TO ENSURE THAT ALL FASTENERS ARE TIGHT AND THAT ALL STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS ARE SOUND." Perform these checks regularly during ownership.
The manual recommends periodic checks to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. No specific interval is provided, but regular inspection before towing is recommended as a best practice.
The kit includes: 2 nut plate weldments (CM-11192-NPW), 4 HHCS 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2 Grade 5 bolts (10-10035), 4 S-CON 1/2" washers (30-00149), 2 square hole spacers 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" (CM-SP18), 2 carriage bolts 3/8-16 UNC 1-3/4 Grade 8 (10-10473), 2 serrated flange nuts 3/8-16 UNC Grade 8 (20-00102), and 2 S-CON 3/8" washers (30-00148).
Remove both tail lights by using a socket through the port on the inside of the trunk. Rotate the light out of place carefully so the tabs on the back side stay intact. Rotate then pull straight out from the side to remove the lens. Then remove 2 torx screws from beneath each tail light (one short black, one long silver).
Using a screwdriver, pop off the plastic covers inside the trunk to access the 2 hex nuts. Use a 10mm deep well socket to remove them. The socket must be deep enough so it will not bottom out on the post. Use a magnetic arm to catch the nuts so they do not fall.
Yes, the Curt 11192 is designed specifically for the Audi A3 Sport Back 5 Door Hatch.
A torque wrench is essential, along with a ratchet, screwdriver, magnetic pick-up tool, 10mm deep well socket, 13mm socket, 3/4" socket, 9/16" socket, T-25 Torx, and a 9" extension.
Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 75 lb-ft and all 3/8" fasteners to 45 lb-ft.
