There was nothing in this spot (top center, circled; looks like a backwards "C") when I got the car. (You can also see that I made a metal pin for changing wheels; I broke the plastic one.)

That would be the European hidden hitch arrangement. I had a Bosal on one of my Allroads before development of the Justin Allroad hidden hitch. Bosal ball was milimeter instead of inch. Trailer rattled on it. The Bosal ball assembly is in the foreground here:

Hey all,
Do you guys know if there is a specific model that fits the 2000 A8? I would like to install one too, but hard to find the oem.

Thanks
