Hi,

A quick look at the Towsure site does not list a C70 bar, and the one for the S/V70 states 'not for C70'. So, presumably not.

The Witter site quotes part number VL38 for the C70 - the same as for the V50 04-07!
Has anyone used the Witter VL38 on a C70?

Surely that will be the new C70 if its showing the same as V50?

Default C70/V70/S70 Towbar

I sent the following private message to achapski, but as he did not respond I will post it here in case anyone else is interested:

I have available a Towsure VL716e towbar kit. I bought this second hand from a VOC member last year to fit to my V70 but the need disappeared and it was never fitted.

The heading on the fitting instructions refers to V70/S70 97-2000, but the guy I bought it from had it fitted to a C70, which I believe has special wiring sockets in the wheel well. It has twin sockets.

I am asking £80, the price I paid for it, but it would need to be collected from Farnham, Surrey.

You could check with Towsure on its suitability.
