2009 V70 Rear Brakes

TkMaximus · May 21st, 2014, 18:52

Hi, I am new to this so I hope I have got the right section.
After a lot of reading about the electronic handbrake I have decided to do it myself. I have bought the Autel EST201 service tool but I need the software for it, I believe its V1.08 I need.
Hoping that somebody can supply me or put me in the right direction to get it .
Thanks for looking.

Have you seen this: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=174417

It seems the popular way now, is either to use the torx bit as per the bottom of this thread, or to use another 12v battery (maybe off a golf buggy or similar), and reverse the polarity so the motor winds the pads back in for you.

EDIT - sorry realize you had indeed seen the thread I posted, because you posted on the original thread...

Thank you for replying. These new cars are getting more daunting everyday. I have done a lot of diy mechanics in the past and was trying to do it the easy way.
