I have an '04 A4 1.8T Quattro.
I did a self install hitch, D'alan Hitch Class I, 2,000lbs capacity, Part # 247303, $450.
Took about 1.5hrs (easy), and is great for bike rack, small utility and boat trailer.
Let me know if you need any pics.

I think that's the hitch that my father has on his 2003 A4 3.0Q as well. Easy install if i remember correctly, is that the one that bolts into the shell of the spare tire well?

I am looking for one for my Avant also, and may get this same one.

I would be interested in towing my motorcycle as well. Obviously the weight would be the biggest issue. I wonder how light of a trailer I can get to tow my motorcycle down to some Northern California roads.

Yep, Jeff! I believe it fits the Avant also.
Like JAudi says, easy to install.
I have towed a Motorcycle and ATV trailer, and a 1,500lb boat & trailer.
No sway and steady as a rock in tow!
When not in use, I have the small Hidden Hitch plug and you can hardly see it, but it's always there when you need it. Best buy and install I ever did!
