  • Recommended Tire Chains for a 2012 Volvo C30 with 215/45-18 Tires
  • According to the owner's manual for your 2012 Volvo C30, tire chain can be used on your vehicle if installed on the front two wheels and you are using the recommended size tires for you vehicle. Therefore, for your 215/45-18 tires I recommend taking a look at the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains part # TC1547. In regards to usability, price, and effectiveness the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Chains are one of my favorite set of tire chains. The diamond shaped pattern and square links provide...

  • Would a Set of Tire Cables/Chains for a 205/45R17 fit a 205/50R17 as Well
  • There are several tire chains that will fit a 205/45R17 tire and a 205/50R17 tire but not all of them would. The part # PW1034 that you referenced is a set of cables that would fit both tire sizes. I attached an install video for these cables as well.

  • Can Curt Trailer Hitch For 2012 Volvo C30 Support Trailer
  • Yes, so long as your fully loaded trailer is rated below the capacities of the hitch for your Volvo (and also the capacities of your 2012 Volvo C30), the hitch is perfectly safe. The hitch, as well as the rest of the parts you need for towing are the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11337 - Wiring Harness # C59496 - Curt Drawbar # C45521 - Pin and Clip # F-4 - 2" Hitch Ball # C40018 or 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40001

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2012 Volvo C30 R-Design
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said that while they haven't tested hitch # C11337 on an R-Design C30 they also have not had any calls from customers or installers saying that it wouldn't fit. So based on that and the fact that the rear fascia, though different in appearance on the R-Design, isn't any lower than on the base models, the hitch should fit the R-Design just fine. If you will be using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier make sure the accessory is rated for use...

  • Your 2008 Volvo C30 will need to have a custom receiver made as there is not a receiver that is confirmed to fit.

We have the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 or Combo Bar 6" with 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-911 to have a custom receiver made at your nearest customization shop.

  • How to Connect 7-Way Connector on 2012 Volvo C30 with 4-Way Flat Connector on Trailer
  • I spoke with my contact at Hopkins who said that technically the Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole # 47345 would work in-line with your 13-Pin to 7-Pole connector so that is an option, but if you plan on towing your trailer more than just a few times there are a few other options for you that would be better. The first option is to install a 4-Way Flat connector on your 2012 Volvo C30. For that you would need the Curt part # C59236. This splices into your tail light wiring and receives power via...

  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11829 you were looking at is designed to fit all models of the 2008-2010 Volvo C30 and will fit your 2010 Volvo C30 R-Design just fine.

  • Anti-Rattle Adapter Recommendation For Curt Hitch When Using Adapter
  • The anti-rattle adapter I recommend is the No-Rattle Trailer Hitch Wedge, part # MPG908. This will work for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers and is designed to insert into the small gap that may exist on your receiver. You then tighten it up after it has been installed on the hitch pin as the attached photo shows. This should reduce the rattle and movement you have been having.

  • Will an Engine Oil Cooler Help Bring Down Engine Temperature on a 1970 Plymouth Cuda
  • The Derale Stacked-Plate Engine Oil Cooler, # D15604, that you mentioned would be a good addition to help cool the engine oil in your 1970 Cuda. An oil cooler like # D15604 should provide you with a drop in your water temperatures. Most likely it would be a drop between 10-20 degrees but it really depends on the vehicle and how much airflow the cooler gets. I would recommend checking the specifications for cooling your specific 5.7 liter Hemi engine and going with the manufacturer recommendation...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for E-Bikes on a Class I Hitch
  • I have a solution for you. It's the Thule EasyFold XT, part # TH903202. This bike rack is compatible with Class I receivers, can hold 2 e-bikes up to 65 pounds each, and works with 1-1/4" receivers. Many times Class I receivers cannot accept racks made for higher-rated hitches. The only obstacle would be the step-thru features of your bikes. For that, you can use a bike adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes, part...

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2011 Volvo C30 with Naked Roof
  • Yakima does not have a roof rack fit for the 2011 Volvo C30 with a naked roof but we do have other roof racks that will fit.

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Wind Fairing For 2008 Volvo C30
  • for your 2008 C30 I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack. This is one of the quietest roof racks on the market because of the rubber Vortex rubber insert in the track on the crossbar. For this roof rack you will need part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRDM01, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK452. It is best to keep the sun roof closed when the roof rack is installed whether it is empty or loaded. Even though every effort is made to make this roof rack quiet, the wind hitting the crossbars...

  • Availability of Hitch Lock and Cable To Lock Hitch and Bikes on Yakima DoubleDown Bike Rack
  • To lock your bikes to your Yakima DoubleDown bike rack and to lock the bike rack to the hitch I would recommend the Yakima LockUp Hitch Lock and Cable, part # Y07238. This part will attach to your existing Yakima hitch bolt to lock the bike rack to the hitch and includes an integrated cable that installs in the bike rack arm and secures the last bike to the rack so none of the bikes can be removed from the rack. The locking cores are keyed alike and can be changed out if needed to match...
