V50 2.0D '05 - faults/questions

rkthornley · Oct 17th, 2011, 13:35

Hi all;
I'm new to this forum and to Volvo ownership but it seems the car I have bought has some issues! I would appreciate any help you can give me.

After searching these forums I have found lots of threads on the "Anti-Skid Service" message, there seem to be a variety of answers. The fault code read shows "Brake Pressure Sensor. Incorrect offset value." Any ideas what could cause the offset or is this a generic error response for a faulty sensor? Its possible the tracking needs doing which I understand can lead to an Anti skid message, but then this would not throw up the error I have. The ABS works; I've had cause to use it!

Oil filter; it seems my local garage are struggling to get the filter off! I understand its a paper filter with a plastic housing. These prone to seizing (it shouldn't be that bad, its plastic!)? If its wrecked during the removal, where can I get a new one?!

I also have a creaky drivers seat but I think I can sort that one out having looked at the other threads; my plan is to take it off the base and re-grease etc.

That's all for now! Any help gratefully received.

Rob

OK, further searching on these forums and I've found someone with the same fault code! They went to ecutesting who said it was a fault with the ABS module that required "re-building"; I take it the pressure sensor is part of this unit? Anyone know what the exact the problem is with it!? Seems to be a common fault.

Why not take your car to the main dealers as my "Anti-Skid Service Required" was fixed FOC due to a known "issue" with the brake control module on certain cars with certain chassis numbers. Try it as they may be cheaper than the re-build, especially if it's free!!

will they fix it free of charge for cars out of warranty if its a know issue?

I have the anti skid service required message too

Well why not try?

They can only say no. It may depend on service history but it's certainly worth a try
