Rear bumper
The rear bumper assembly comprises the coating,
spoiler, towing lug cover and closing part
components. It is mounted on the vehicle by means
of fixed guides on the body. The bumper support
and the bracket for the bumper support are made of
aluminium and are produced by extrusion
moulding.
Trailer coupling
The newly developed trailer coupling fitted in
the A6´05 is equipped with a mechanically
swivelling ball rod.
The ball rod swivels around a rotation axis, which is
angled at 45° to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
The swivel angle between the swivelled-out towing
position and the idle position behind the bumper
is 180°.
The system is unlocked by means of a handwheel
located in the boot.

Compared to the previous model, the joints on
the A6´05 have been noticeably reduced.
Due to a special adjusting/holding part below the
rear light, the zero joint between the bumper
coating and side part has been reduced to 0.8 mm.
A parking aid and a mechanically swivelling trailer
coupling are available (optional).
