How to retract the rear pistons for rotor change?

Rear brakes....How do I retract the pistons? I have a code reader, but not sure if it will activate the emergency brake retraction of the pistons. I really do not want to take this to a mechanic at $175 and hour. In the past cars I have always done my own brakes/ rotors, but this is new to me.

Steering fluid/ pump questions.

2013 S60 80K. I find the steering to have resistance. It's no longer a 'one finger' turn of the wheel. It does engage when the engine is started. I changed the fluid...full flush. I notice that the fluid does not circulate when I turn the wheel left/ right. The wife turns the wheel, I look in the ...

Re: What next?

OK...$30K tops. Sedan...need warranty, I am not fixing cars anymore, tired of wasting weekends under a car. Lease is not an option. NY- Long Island to be exact...but willing to travel a few hours. I have an excellent mechanic for when the warranty runs out.

What next?

Odd question to ask, but "If you were to get a car that was not a Volvo to replace your 2013 S60, what would it be?" I cannot afford a new Volvo, the S60's and XC40's that are three/ four years old are still expensive. Plus...not that great mpg or reliability. Having had numerous Volvos (P1800, 240 ...

Overheating!

`2013 S60. 70K miles. Got a dash warning to STOP DRIVING...Engine overheating. Fan was on when the A/C was engaged. This happened last year...I changed the thermostat, water pump. What else should I look for? My code reader doesn't pick up any codes (other than door lock issues)....HELP!

Steering stiff on a 2013

Drove the wife's 2013 S60 today. Steering was stiff and sluggish. If it were an 'old' car, I would say that there was power steering issues. I checked the reservoir, fluid was adequate. Color of the fluid could be better....Any suggestions? I would hate to have to put in a new rack...must be a cure!

Auto door lock issue

2013 S60. The function where you touch the door handle to lock/unlock the car does not work. Quite honestly, I don't know if it ever worked. None of the doors respond. Where do I start hunting down this issue? Can anyone give me a clear step by step in diagnosing and fixing this problem?

LED headlight bulb suggestions?

I love my LED replacement bulbs in my 2013 S60. But, one just blew out. That said, it did throw a dash code because it did not draw enough resistance. Does anyone have a brand that they recommend?

Trans fluid flush...need instructions. Please

2013 S60. I want to do a drain/ fill or flush on the transmission. I have done P2's, but not P3's. The process seems to be quite different. Any suggested tutorials? Do I just use Volvo fluid, or is there a recommended upgrade/ less expensive option? In my P2, I used Toyota fluid and/ or Mobil as ...
