Do V50 worn wheel bearings squeak?
Hello and thank you for looking at this post.
A squeaking has started now and again from nearside front wheel. Worn hub bearings on "old fashioned" cars used to squeak once upon a time when becoming worn. I do not have the equipment to press a bearing out and in so I called a mobile mechanic. He states? that the V50 wheel hub bearings are sealed units and do not squeak but clank. He then, with a long screw driver through the wheel, pushed back the hub assembly backing plate saying there was probably dirt scraping against the brake disk. Next morning warning display, "skid service required". Haynes manual describes bearing units as containing part of the ABS system, sensors. So now there are two scenarios so far, the hub bearing is squeaking because it is worn and now the wear has affected the ABS sensor in the hub assembly. Or the mobile mechanic, by pushing back the backing plate, has upset part of the ABS system. Any views? Thank you again for reading. |

Looks like bearing as it holds magnetic sensor for abs and stability control.
Best to replace it asap. Do not got for cheapest bearing but also do not buy volvo branded. Search here on forums for wheel bearings. Some time ago I have run own investgation to find out who makes bearings for volvo: skf and fag. Dont remember now who makes fron or rear but oem bearings can be found for 70-80£ while volvo branded cost circa 200£.

Anti-skid service required
Hello.
Thank you for the replies. The anti-skid service warning has reappeared. Is there a source of information about which systems may be switched off automatically at the moment due to this warning? Am assuming that any fault meaning the car cannot be driven would put it into safe mode. Best wishes. |

When you have the Anti Skid message then both the DSTC and ABS will not be functional. Doesn't mean the car won't work as normal, the brakes will be perfectly fine just no ABS.
You need you codes read really to point in the right direction as the Anti Skid message can be caused by so many things. If you take off the centre cap to your front wheels and check the centre hub bolts are not loose as this is quick easy and free. Beyond that you need codes to determine if it is something like a steering wheel angle sensor, abs wheel sensor, yaw rate sensor or something even more costly like the ABS unit itself. Unfortunately you really need the codes to point in the right direction but you could ask if there are any members near you with VIDA/DICE that can read your car for you. I'm in Fareham (Hampshire) these days for work but that would be a bit of a drive for you (willing all the same). |
