Hi Kaye,
There is a trailer hitch that fits your 2002 VW New Beetle Turbo TDI, so long as it is NOT the Turbo S model with the ground effects trim package. So long as that's the case you can use the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24679.
Then for wiring the correct part is the Hopkins Active Tail Light Converter with Install Kit # 46255.

Hey Kaye, how did the Draw-Tite hitch work out on your New Beetle Turbo TDI? It’d be great to hear if everything fit well and the wiring kit matched up as expected. Your update could make it easier for others with the same model.
