First.. I have been unable to find a source for a tow bar for the 2008 xc70 no one seems to be making them yet.. anyone know a source BESIDES VOLVO?

second.. Anyone know specifically how to reset the oil/service light for the gas engine.... NO DIESEL available in USA...

third... best product to care for the black plastic panels around the outside?

fourth.... best product for VOLVO leather seat cleaning and maintenance?

Fifth.. dyno oil or synthetic.. VOLVO says dyno.. every cab driver in Gutenberg says Mobil one synthetic...

Hi,

Try these people:
Linky....

Who makes towbars for Volvo though?? Isn't it Bosel? Have you tried them direct??
Mind you, they or Volvo may have an exclusive deal for x months before seperate sales are allowed...

Default tow bar

Does not seem like they have one for the 08 yet..

All of the manufactures say they will have one just have not reverse engineered one yet.

I actually want a USA type with a removable bar w/ball attached 1.5 or 1.75 inch ball...

The "European" ball's do not appear to be as large as the USA balls.. hmmmm just an observation..... and also appear to be fixed and not removable...

Thanks for trying to help...
