Symptoms of worn rear brake pads and rotors on your Volvo P1 C30 won’t be as apparent as the fronts. These are just some of them:
-A grinding coming from the rear, under braking
-Vibration coming from the rear, under braking
-Deep grooves on the rotor surface
-Dark-colored deposits on the rotor surface

How long will it take to replace the rear brake pads and rotors on a Volvo P1 C30?
-A safe estimate for completing a pad and rotor change, as well as a fluid flush, would be around two and a half hours. Depending on the condition of the parts and the tools you have at your disposal, it could take more or less time.

How much will it cost to replace the rear brake pads and rotors on a Volvo P1 C30?
-Having this job done by a Volvo certified professional can cost nearly $400. Buying parts from the dealership is always more expensive than buying from a parts retailer like us. On top of the increased cost of parts, you’ll have to pay for the labor.
-If you buy the rear brake job kit we’ve put together, you’ll be spending much less than half of what the dealership would charge you. We use parts from the same suppliers as Volvo themselves, so you’ll be getting the same parts at a better price.

Isla for the win! Horn honk…perfect! “Seal” perfect-er! Great vid!

Cameron Price says:

Thank you and very well timed. I'm about to do this job on my winter-stored C30, anticipating emergency brake mechanism issues. The comment by Ghassan is very good to know, After 52+ years of Volvo ownership and DIY repairs, you're never too old to learn. I wonder why you bled the brake line after the rotor replacement? I never have done that except if I was replacing the caliper. BTW, I'm lucky to have a set of the piston retraction tools and a pressured bleeder – my daughter is 48 years young.

Paul says:

Very helpful, key to winding the rear piston in is having the tool and applying pressure otherwise the piston will keep on spinning
I found this out the hard way

Ian Rasburn says:

very professional, informative, impressed

EdgeLord says:

This video was perfect! Thank you so much for posting this 🙂 Will be replacing my calipers soon on a 08 T5 Volvo S40!

zz wang says:

Nice video, what is the size of the breeder hole? Thanks!

Vic Sorlie says:

I love FCP Euro for parts and really like the efforts you all are making on your videos. That said, I'm blown away with the rookie DIY safety mistakes I'm seeing. Wear some protective gear please – safety glasses, gloves, etc. You're 80% of the way there – go all the way!

Wong Wang says:

Your daughter is so funny.

Matthew Sahd says:

Just rent the tool for free from your local auto parts store. Costs you nothing, even if you don’t buy the parts there.

Stephen Morrissey says:

Mine is rusting the same way. I tried replacing the rear end links but they were so rusted to themselves I had to take it to a shop to get them cut off with a torch.

I'd love to see a video that shows replacing the hubs and the brake shields!

Spanners Auto & Computer Repairs says:

So glad my c30 is a southern car. That CT rust is horrible
