That will be a Westfalia one. have one on my S4.

In the Westfalia application list it will be for all B5 A4 Avant Quattro except RS4.

Apparently Audi didn't approve fitment of towbars on an RS4 - believed to be due to cooling. The bar will fit according to others on the site here.

The car will run too hot , Or is it the extra strain on the gear box ....
