Tow bar needed
Hi All
I'm after a tow bar for my 2007 XC90 V8 Preferably genuine, but will consider a good aftermarket brand too. Any suggestions out there? Cheers Vasil

whatever bar you buy only get genuine electrics and get the software update. Aftermarket and bypass relays arent worth it.
I would avoid a second hand tow bar most new ones are not that expensive and some come with a lifetime guarantee to the original buyer. No need to pay the extra for a genuine one, Volvo buy them in from Brink/Thule with their name on it. If you do go second hand buy a new set of nuts and bolts. |

Thanks guys
Brink seems to be discounted at PF Jones... and yes, genuine electrics with or without SW update. Cheers Vasil

What, exactly, do "we" think the software update does??
I bought and fitted a vertical detachable one from these guys (I fitted it myself on the front drive) https://www.umbrarimorchi.it/en/ Bought it through eBay and it came with free - well, included in the price - delivery from Italy. I used genuine Volvo electrics (no brainer) The towbar looks good, fitted easily and works fine - without any software updates. Cheers Dave |

Mine is a 61 reg, MY 2011, XC90 Exec so I had some pre-provided connections which made the hook up easier.
Everything appears to work as it should although I haven't actually tested the rear fog lamp. Cheers Dave |
