I don't believe it!
For the past several weeks I have been plagued with an intermittently flashing dashboard display telling me: ANTI SKID SERVICE REQUIRED - PARK ASSIST SERVICE REQUIRED - BRAKE FAILURE STOP SAFELY and IMMOBILISER SEE DRIVER MANUAL. After 5-10 minutes I could turn on the ignition and drive on. I have hooked up diagnostics 3 times, once it flashed up brake switch fault, could find nothing wrong and 25 miles later the warning sequence started again. Back onto diagnostics which flashed up accelerator fault. Cleaned the connection plug as recommended and 15 miles later I am immobilised again. Back on the machine to find ABS fault, Check all connectors, including battery terminals and earths only to find myself stuck on the side of the road again within a very short time. Having lost faith in the diagnostics I continued to make short journeys for a week or so, suffering a period of immobility on almost every outing. On the last occasion whilst poking about under the bonnet I noticed that the brake fluid level was a bit low so I topped it up and guess what? No more warnings, no more immobilisations, everything working just as it should. Done another 500 miles since then and I am so glad that I didn't set fire to the car as I had been tempted to do.
How difficult would it have been to have a sensor that flashed up TOP UP BRAKE FLUID ? |

Thanks for sharing, good to know the symptoms, although I have feeling "immobiliser fault" had nothing to do with it. All other issues seem plausible and related to low fluid level.

Called out the RAC who arrived 2.5 hrs later to tell me that the alternator had shorted out and killed the battery. They disconnected the alternator and installed a new battery to get the car mobile and I managed to limp to a friendly workshop who were able to fit a new alternator and get me on my way again. Since then I have covered another thousand miles with the car performing better than it ever has before, a pleasure to drive. Then yesterday, driving my grandson to school, up it comes again: ANTI SKID SERVICE REQUIRED, BRAKE FAILURE STOP SAFELY< etc. etc. Same old routine, switch off, wait, switch on, all messages cleared and away we go again. I love this car when it is running as it should but I can't take much more of this s**t. One other thing I have noticed:For the 2 years up until the time that all this nonsense started, the fuel consumption reading has always been between 49.7 and 50.2 mpg. Over the past 6-8 weeks the reading has been dropping steadily and it is now 45.8. Any ideas? |

Hi all, my V50 1.6 Drive has been showing the Anti-Brake Service required intermittently for some time now as well as EGR valve fault. Replaced EGR today and cleared all faults with VIDA but on my way home from work the Anti-Brake has come on again. After reading some of the comments in this thread i was wondering if anyone knows if Volvo is still covering the cost to repair? I didn't get the fault codes i'm afraid when i had the VIDA plugged in but i can get over the weekend and post.
