Hello, I have a 2009 Volvo C70 2.0D SE
Here is a strange one for you
when I got the car the handbrake seemed like it came up a bit far, so I adjusted it via the cable tensioner bolt under the cup holders in the centre console. It now comes up about 3 clicks, sorted you may think.
Sometimes when I pull the handbrake up it just come up 3 clicks and is perfect. and sometimes it has a lot of travel and on hills dosent quite hold the car.
Diagnostics
I don't get any feedback through the foot peddle when braking so it cant be warped discs.
I do not have a drum / Disc combination brake on the rear so its not the linings coming away from the shoes. The handbrake cable connects straight to the calliper at the back. I checked this earlier today, picture attached.
There is plenty of meat on the discs and the pads back and front, no stepping or scoring, not that I would expect that to effect it intermittently.
Any ideas?
