Handbrake adjustment now possible ...
Just posted this elsewhere …. may help someone struggling to get a good handbrake feel.
--------------------------
As we all know … the handbrake is always a bit sloppy on this model, at the S60 as well, but there is a solution ……….
At your local volvo dealer, ask them to get the rear brake parts up on the screen …
This is marked as part "15" on the screen they have at the parts counter….
It can be replaced with a proper adjuster, parts "17" and "18".
The volvo part numbers are 30793438 and 30793437 - it is adjusted through the stud hole when you have the wheels off.
My handbrake now locks on with three clicks, no rock back or sloppiness, an MOT pass every time.
Sorry that I have no pics - but the total parts cost was 26.20 ….
Hope this helps if any of you have sloppy unadjustable handbrakes
