Links to guide for changing brake pads/discs?
Hi All,
I want to replace the brake pads all around on my 2015 V40 D3. I’ve had a search around and can’t seem to find any ‘how to’ guides or videos. Can anyone please point me in the direction if they know of a link, or to that if a different car/model with the same brakes? Thanks Andy |

Fronts are the easiest;
Jacked up and on axle stands Wheel off Caliper guide bolts out Caliper off and old pads out Push piston back in by hand or G clamp Fit new pads Put back together Pump the brakes Rears are different. Same way to start but the pistons need to be wound back in rather than pushed so you'll need a caliper rewind tool.

Youve spent serious wedge on a 3-year old car, get a garage to do it.
At least, get someone to "help" you, show you how. I cant help but think that if you need to ask Qs like this then perhaps you shouldnt be tinkering without supervision. Charles Darwin is generally ignored these days in favour of anything-goes political correctness, but natural selection still works a treat. Play with jacks and brakes at your peril.

I'm a motor engineer and it genuinely terrifies me when people say this. If you want to work on safety systems and you don't know how, THEN DONT.
Salut! Pookie

Thanks for the comments (and the assumptions).
I’m perfectly competent home mechanic and brake pads are a pretty straight forward job for me. However I like to see what I’m doing before I get the wheels off (as it’ll be the first time with the Volvo), and make sure I have all the correct tools to hand. |

I have been looking for the same information , I have done the front which are very straightforward, I bought new stretch bolts for the caliper and the Volvo dealer gave me the correct torque settings for these , and the slider bolts, really no different to my S60 in procedure. I haven’t done the rears as I am unsure of the wind back / handbrake arrangement. Can’t believe no one has done this job before and posted something. Mines a V40 , D2 , 2012. I used Pagid discs from Eurocarparts when I did the fronts. Will let you know if I find anything , or post some pics when I do the rears.

I've just done the rear pads on my V50. Very easy and straight forward.
My progress thread might have some helpful info for you. Link below in my signature.

I have replaced both the front ands rears on my XC60.
Genuine Volvo pads include a guide on the correct procedure. For the fronts I had to buy a 9 mm hex Alan key socket, the instructions said either 7 or 9 so you will need to check before you start and if you have the electric handbrake you will need a torx bit to wind back the motor. Buy the pads first and see what instructions you get.

The disc and pads change is on the last page, or the one before.
You'll have to click k on "Last page" and work backwards, just posted a few updates recently.
