Where is the Audi tow hook located?
2 Answers
Audi tow hooks are located with the vehicle tools, with screw holes available at both the front and rear. Here is some extended information about Audi: 1. Company Origin: In 1932, Audi merged with Horch, Wanderer, and DKW to form 'Auto Union.' Each ring in the logo represents one of these companies. The four rings, equal in size and interlinked, symbolize the equal status and unbreakable unity of the four companies. 2. Company Plans: Audi focuses on the mid-to-high-end automotive market, primarily producing sedans and SUVs. In 2021, CEO Markus Duesmann stated in an interview with the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that Audi plans to halt the development of new internal combustion engines.
Audi owners will definitely notice the tow hook issue. My A4 has a small cover on the rear bumper, which can be removed to install the tow hook. The first time I tried, I almost damaged the cover because I didn’t know how to open it, but later I found it just below and slightly to the right of the license plate. For SUVs like the Q7, it might be positioned higher, with the front tow hook located on the front bumper, where the cover is designed to be more discreet. You don’t need it during normal driving, but it’s crucial for towing or rescue situations—just avoid overloading it with heavy items. It’s a good idea to check the cover regularly to ensure it’s not loose, as dust or rust in rainy weather can cause problems. Always keep a simple tool in your car in case you need to install the tow hook yourself in an emergency. Thinking back to the last time I towed a friend’s car, taking it slow is the safest approach—don’t rush when starting the process.
