  • Recommendation for a Roof Mounted Bike Rack that Will Fit Factory Cross Bars on a 2009 Volvo V70
  • We do carry a similar bike rack that will fit the factory cross bars that run side to side on your 2009 Volvo V70. Take a look at the Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount, # TH599000. You do not have to remove the front wheel to use this rack. It will accommodate 20 to 29 inch bike tires that are up to 3 inches wide. Yakima does not list the FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier, # Y02103, as a fit for your Volvo.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 1999 Volvo V70 to Carry Beach Cruisers
  • For your beach cruisers that have fenders I would recommend a platform bike rack that uses a frame mount since the fenders would interfere with wheel mounts. The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a...

  • How to Charge a Trailer Battery While Towing a Tear Drop Trailer with a 2002 Volvo v70XC
  • If your trailer has a 7-Way connector, then it either already has electric brakes or is set up for electric brakes. Either way, you would not want to use the pin and wiring for the electric brake to charge a battery because it is too small a gauge for this application. A 7-Way connector already has a pin for a 12 volt accessory. If you are looking at the face of the trailer side 7-Way, it is in the 11 oclock position. This wire is only large enough to maintain a battery but will not charge...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2000 Volvo V70
  • I have a solution for you, but the TracRac Ladder Rack part # TH29200XT that you referenced is designed for camper shells. Instead you would want the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK133. For load stops to use on the roof rack to secure the ladder you would want the part # S602. Then for straps part # RTD3.

  • Catalytic Converter for 2006 Volvo V70 2.5L Engine
  • The only catalytic converter we have available that is confirmed to fit your 2006 Volvo V70 is the MagnaFlow Heavy Metal Loaded # MF99009HM. This converter does feature a 3 inch inlet/outlet but it does not include O2 sensor ports. The MagnaFlow Stainless Steel # MF94269 that you mentioned may fit with some modification on your Volvo, but I cannot confirm if it will work. It does have the needed 3 inch inlet/outlet and is compatible with your engine size. It includes two O2 sensor ports....

  • Recommended Aero Crossbars and Fairing for Quieter Ride with Thule Weekender Roof Box
  • For your 2000 Volvo V70 XC, the crossbars I recommend are the Thule WingBar Load Bars # TH711420 along with the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and lock cores # TH450400. To reduce noise, aero bars are definitely the route to go. Adding a fairing will give you even less wind noise, so I recommend the Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks # TH82WV for your application. Unfortunately there are not t-connectors available for roof boxes to assist with the wind noise by giving that...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2004 Volvo V70
  • The K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990 referenced in your question is a universal, clip-on set that should work great on your 2004 Volvo V70. This adjustable mirror will clip right onto the edge of the factory mirror on your Volvo and will fit perfectly as long as the factory mirror is 4-1/2 inches to 11-1/2 inches tall. Its snug fit will help to reduce any mirror vibration and the rubber pads on the straps will also protect your mirror's housing from scratches. 2 mirrors...

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2001 Volvo V70
  • As long as you have a trailer hitch installed on your 2001 Volvo V70 like the Draw Tite part # 36297 you can use a cargo carrier like the part # 63155 which could carry a snow blower potentially. The hitch has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, the carrier weighs 39 lbs which leaves you with 261 lbs of capacity left over for the weight of the snow blower. The inside dimensions of the cargo tray are then 47-7/8" long x 20" wide x 5-1/2" tall.

  • Recommended 4-Way Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2001 Volvo V70
  • All of the wiring kits available for your 2001 Volvo V70XC will require you to identify the correct wires on the tail lights and tie into the wires using quick splice wire connectors. The Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 is the 4-way harness that I recommend using. This kit also includes a test light to check your wiring and ensuring that you are connecting to the correct wiring on your Volvo. The powered converter nearly eliminates the excess draw on the vehicle harness and mounts...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2001 Volvo V70
  • For your 2001 Volvo V70 we only have Class II hitches like the Draw Tite part # 36297 which is a Class II hitch. There are no Class III, 2 inch hitches that fit your vehicle and the part number you mentioned is not one that we carry or have any info on. The 2 inch hitches like you mentioned are typically only seen on larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs.

  • Recommended Drawbar for Volvo 2001 V70 XC
  • Width usually isn't a consideration when it comes to choosing a drawbar. Folks are typically concerned about getting a drawbar that places the trailer ball at the proper height so the trailer is level when it's being towed. I'll link you to our FAQ article about ball mounts/drawbars. If by width, you're speaking of the hitch receiver size the drawbar is meat to fit into, the hitches we offer for the 2001 Volvo V70 are Class II, which use the 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 receiver (inside dimension of...

  • Recommended Wiring for 2001 Volvo V70
  • The 59146 is not a harness we carry. The harness should draw adequate power from the battery to power the converter and the trailer lights but we don't have the confirmed fit on your vehicle. Curt does not confirm fits for the converters, so I cannot confirm it on their end either. What I can confirm is the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This has been tested to work with your 2001 Volvo V70. This converter will allow more amperage for...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1999 Volvo V70
  • For your 1999 Volvo V70 the Draw Tite hitch part # 36262 is a confirmed fit and what I would recommend. It is confirmed as a fit for all models of your vehicle so it will work with yours being front wheel drive. I like this one over the Curt because it does not require a stabilizer strap with a non supported load like a bike rack like the Curt does.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2002 Volvo V70
  • All of the trailer wiring harnesses for the 2002 Volvo V70, see link below, are hardwire installations. There isn't a plug and play type of harness available for this vehicle. If it were me I would go with harness # C59496 because we hear about fewer problems with these.
