Re: E-brake doesn't work...

Lee, thank you for taking effort to put together this excellent article. I was able to replace my S70 parking brakes, rotors. Although it took a while, but it was a $1200 savings, I am pretty happy that I was able to do it. I also took an extra effort to bleed the brake system. One thing that I stru...

Volvo S70 Parking brake adjustment

Does anyone have a picture that shows how to adjust the parking brake? Some instruction would also be appreciated.

I read another post that suggest to used a flat screw driver, but exactly where the screw driver goes and what it touches?

Thanks and Happy new year!

Re: How to disable alarm on S70

Just to be certain. A relay has two connectors, right? You mean that I can remove relay 210, then short the two sockets?

How to disable alarm on 2000 S70

Hi, there is a problem with my daughter's 2000 S70. If not careful and alarm is activated, it will draw the battery.
Giving it a 10 year old card, I don't really care about the alarm.

Is there any way I can turn this security alarm thing off? Thanks.

Ben

I just bought a used Volvo 2000 S70 SE, 144,000 miles. From the service records, I can see that the previous owner did all major maintenance according to the guidelines.
