Rear brakes

tingy · May 28th, 2015, 19:21

Hi all

After a bit of info RE the rear brake set up on the XC90

Are all the rear brakes the same or do they change by model or facelift etc - Im specifically after the vented rear disc set up so is that standard on all models?
Like this

Also has anyone just done a brake disc swap who fancys sending me their old knackered Disc if i cover the postage? It wont be used on a vehicle i just need them for mocking up purposes and don't want to buy new ones yet incase the set up wont fit

Cheers for any info

Just been out and checked, my 04 t6 has rear ventilated discs.

Sorry can't help with any old ones.

All the same from 03 to 14,

Not sure what your mocking them up for but you might be better off with the xc70 setup (00 to 06) as they use shallower discs

thanks for the info

what do you mean by shallower?

I’ve got a couple of old rear discs lying outside the garage waiting to go to the tip; they are very rusty but you are welcome to one of them if you want.
The only thing is that the postage will not be cheap as they are quite heavy.
It might be worth having a word with your nearest Volvo garage; I'll bet they have a heap around the back waiting to be weighed in.

Spoke to the local dealer and they wernt keen moaning about how they couldnt release worn out parts in case i used them, might have just been the person i spoke to but not worth the agro really

Any chance you could weigh one and get a cost i would only need one?

The discs weigh 7Kg each!
The Royal Mail website gives a price of £16.40 for parcelforce 48
I am quite happy to send it if you want, but by the time I have sought a padded bag etc, you will be looking at £18

There are sellers on ebay offering new ones for £27 including postage, or why don't you pick one up from a motor factor or europarts, then return it as unused! (tut tut!)
