Uhaul Trailer Tow with V70?

Hey everyone! I drive a 2001 Volvo v70 and I'm wondering if that's a suitable vehicle for towing one of those small uhaul trailers. If so, what do I need to do to prepare my vehicle for that? Do I need to install a trailer hitch, and how can I do that cheaply?

Thanks in advance!

Lurch?

My volvo 2001 v70 has begun making a strange lurch when I release the break pedal after coming to a complete stop. Does that sound like a transmission issue or could it be something else?

car stalled on side of road but runs fine now

I have a 1997 Volvo 850. I was driving up a hill in hot weather on the highway when I began to lose power. I pulled over and the car was either steaming or smoking (I couldn't tell as it was very dark). The car was not leaking coolant, which I say because there was still a lot of pressure when I too...

PCV Valve vacuum leak?

Is replacing the PCV valve itself all you need to do in order to recti...

Vacuum/PCV leak

I have a 1997 Volvo 850. My mechanic tells me that the check engine light I have on is caused by a vacuum/pcv leak. I'd rather do the work myself- can anyone direct me towards a guide on how to do this repair? Also: I replaced my seat belts recently. Due to the seat belt igniters, I know that these ...

Re: Used Volvo Seat Belts

Ok, I got the seatbelts to release properly. Now I'm just missing one of the torx screws necessary for installing them. Per seatbelt there are three bolts and a torx screw. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for my missing screw? Can I buy an equivalent at a local hardware store?

Re: Ignition Switch Thoughts

No, no tracs in this vehicle, so definitely no tracs light.
