The rear towing hook on the Audi A6L is located inside the round cover. Here is some information about Audi: 1. Introduction: Audi is a luxury car brand under Audi AG, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. 2. Positioning: Representing high technical standards, quality benchmarks, innovation capabilities, and classic model designs, Audi is one of the leading automotive brands. The company is headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany, and has subsidiaries in many countries, including China. 3. Development: In terms of automobile production, Auto Union (predecessor of Audi) was the second-largest car manufacturer in Germany at the time. Its logo consists of four interlinked rings, symbolizing the four car companies that merged. This marked the first appearance of the four-ring emblem in the world.
I've been driving an Audi A6L for several years and once needed to use the towing hook. The rear towing eye is hidden slightly to the right of center on the rear bumper, covered by a small square panel. You can gently pry it open with your fingers or a key to reveal the threaded socket. Remember the towing hook tool comes with the vehicle and is stored in the spare tire compartment in the trunk - just take it out and screw it clockwise into the socket. The first time I needed it, I searched for quite a while before realizing the cover is designed to be discreet mainly for aesthetic reasons. I recommend practicing the installation process beforehand to avoid fumbling during emergencies. When towing, maintain low and steady speed to prevent socket deformation or vehicle damage. This design is quite consistent across the Audi family - once you're familiar with it, the process becomes very straightforward.
