I noticed when I have the console open and pull the whole cable towards the front of the vehicle a little it s...

any tips on the parking brake adjustment, should the threads be out on the collar under the center console, seems to have helped but not 100%

I took it to our local volvo shop to further diagnose, it's the variable valve timing hub on the exhaust cam
and at 131K the timing belt is over due.
