Over the weekend the "Chassis Setting Service Required" message appeared on my V70 R. This seemed to force the car to fall back to rock hard "performance" mode on the 4C suspension. Not ideal for potholed London roads.

Out came the VIDA laptop. One missing signal from a sensor.



Wheel off and quick check of cables showed a very worn through cable.



After a quick amazon shop for cable and self-soldering wire connectors and some cable trimming it's all good again now.

These things are ace. Never seen them before.



A good £20 repair rather than then 300 EUR Skandix wanted for a new sensor.

Replaced both front calipers and changed the brake fluid

Yes Solder sleeves are good, i see all of the youtubers telling everyone how good these new inventions are, they are not new i have used them for the last 30+ years in MOD wiring work, they were first made by raychem,
Good work,
Dave

(long returning member, years ago I had a V70 2.5 audi engined one and a XC60) so now gathering service bits for my 'new' 2002 V70 D5 (previous owner had since 2011)

It's only done 15K miles in the last 10 years! (less than 3K in the last 5) so feeling my way around it, figuring a Euro 3 diesel should be at least less effected by such low usage than other cars/engines but we'll see.

Too local and cheap to pass up and wanted another estate so I'm back here searching for info/advice/how to's.

Thanks in advance to the forum stalwarts/unsung heroes, already watched a few D5 cambelt etc videos that I think are from posters on here, so appreciate it.
