Expert Answers about Volvo C70


  • Compatibility of 3430001 Autowbrake Brake Controller with 2012 Volvo C70
  • As long as the 7-way was installed correctly with a circuit breaker protected connection to the tow vehicle battery, the # 3430001 Autowbrake Brake Controller you mentioned will work just fine. A single axle trailer will only draw about 6 amps at full braking power, so there will be no problems at all as the power circuit through the 7-way is usually protected by a 30 amp breaker or fuse at a minimum. If you click the provided link you can see a product video featuing the Autowbrake # 3430001.

  • Recommended Best 2-Bike Rack for a 2011 Volvo C70 Transporting 2 Step Thru Bikes
  • I can help you pick out a bike rack that will be compatible with your Curt 1-1/4 Class I hitch # C11065 on your 2011 Volvo C70. The first thing we know is that from the center of your hitch pin hole to the edge of your bumper will need a rack with at least an 8-1/2 inch clearance. The Thule # TH92BJ won't be able to work for your C70 but I do have several solutions for you. If you do have fenders on your step thru's I have a solution for that. The Thule Helium # TH9042PRO is a lightweight...

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Fit a 2004 Volvo C70 Convertible
  • Hollywood Racks does not recommend any of their racks for your 2005 Volvo C70 Convertible. Instead, I would recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV. This trunk rack is perfect for carrying 3 bikes on your convertible. It attaches easily with 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your Volvo XC70. It even works well with most spoilers. The OutWay is by far the easiest trunk mounted rack to use since it uses only 2...

  • Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly for 2006 Karavan Trailer
  • You already did all of the work here by finding the bearings. Since you have a # 25580 inner and # 15123 outer bearing the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 6K Axles # AKHD-655-6-G-EZ-K will work as a replacement. The only other thing to match up is the bolt pattern and this has the same 6 on 5-1/2 you currently have. If you want replacement brakes as well you can use the # AKUBRK-7. If you don't have a lockout and need free backing brakes then we also have the # AKFBBRK-7.

  • How Would You Store The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045
  • If I was using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 I would get a tarp like The Erickson Tarp # EM57026 to cover it from the rain and I would use a long cable lock # e98891 to loop through the wheel and onto the frame to prevent anyone from stealing it. If you could wrap it Around something that is not going anywhere like your camper that would be ideal too.

  • How To Carry Kayak On Roof Of 2009 Volvo C70
  • I do have an option for you but the Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier w/ Hitch Mounted Load Extender and Single-Bar Roof Rack part # DTA944-968-924 is going to be too tall to use on your vehicle to transport the kayak level with the roof. The Volvo is about 4-1/2 feet tall and the Darby will be a foot taller then the vehicle once installed in the hitch. Also, the Darby needs to be installed in a 2" hitch and it looks like you have a 1-1/4" Class I hitch on the Volvo. Instead, the only...

  • How Much Ground Clearance will a 2011 Volvo C70 with a Curt Hitch # C11065 Installed
  • We had the chance to install the Curt Hitch # C11065 on a 2012 C70 and we were able to determine that from top of the hitch opening to the ground it measured 9-1/2 inches. So if you subtract 2 inches for the distance from the top of the hitch opening to the bottom of the hitch you end up with 7-1/2 inches of total ground clearance.

  • Will a CIPA Rear-View Mirror # CM32000 Fit a 2004 Volvo C70 Convertible
  • This product is intended to fit wedge-style mirrors. You will need to determine if your 2004 Volvo C70 currently has a we10" Cipa Rearview mirror is a wedge style mount. If your vehicle does not have a wedge style mount for the rearview mirror it is possible that you have a camlock style mounting mirror, and this is the type that is typically found on imported vehicles. I have included a photo that shows the difference between the two mounting styles for rearview mirrors for your reference....

  • Determining If Tires On 2008 Volvo C70 Will Work With Roadmaster Tow Dolly RM-2050-1
  • As long as the low profile tires on your 2008 Volvo C70 are less than 30" tall and less than 11" wide then your vehicle will fit just fine on the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 perfectly. The # RM-2050-1 fits vehicles with a track width of up to 77" and up to 4250lbs. Your C70 has a track width of just over 61" and a curb weight of 3627 so it will fit perfectly in that regard.

  • How to Transport Kayak & Bikes on 2008 Volvo C70
  • We do not have any confirmed hitch fits for your 2008 Volvo C70 coupe. I confirmed this directly with Draw-Tite and Curt. Curt hitch # C11065 is a fit only for the T5 convertible model for years 2011 through 2013. I cannot recommend installing this on a car for which it was not intended. Since there are no hitch fits there are also no custom-fit plug-in wiring harness products for the car so trailer towing is not an option. Also, there are no aftermarket roof racks available for it. This...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2013 Volvo C70
  • First, the only trailer hitches that we have for the 2013 Volvo C70 will only fit the T5 convertible models. If it is another model then the hitch will not fit. Since you are only planning on using the hitch for a bike rack then you will not need a drawbar, also known as a ball mount or stinger. It is the part that goes into the receiver opening on the hitch that you attach a ball on to tow a trailer. Curt trailer hitch # C11065 is a Class I trailer hitch which means that you must use...

  • Distance From Hitch Pin Hole to Bumper for Hitch on 2012 Volvo C70
  • When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11065 on a 2012 Volvo C70 we found the distance from the hitch pin hole to the bumper was 9 inches. That's a pretty good distance, and this is also a Class I hitch (which is all that is available for your C70) so you do need a Class I compatible bike rack as well, the Swagman Chinook 2-Bike Rack # S64683. This is an excellent rack and an overall great value. The Chinook is 12-1/2 inches to the closest part of the rack so it has the clearance...
