At the end of the day you get 3 year warranty from Volvo if fitted from new and they are probably charging around £200 to fit it which seems the going rate. It all depends if you fancy saving upwards of £200 yourself. Add to that the Westfalia is (IMO) a better towbar than the Volvo OEM as it's invisble when fitted compared to this from Volvo

First picture shows Volvo detachable towbar and cover.

Second picture came from this post ..
http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=91220

and shows view of car with Westfalia fitted - note no bumper trim needed.


As a guide - Westfalia is around £175 and 7 pin Volvo wiring around £50 (13 pin around £100) . Fitting is easy - no special tools needed, just another pair of hands.


Thanks Nicknick,
Does the wesfalia disable the rear fogs like the volvos with the software?
