Various reviews, how-to's and solutions to problems I've encountered. I am not a professional, just a DIY and an enthusiast of anything that needs two hands to fix, build or operate. Thanks for watching!
Je l’ai fait, j’ai inversé le sens de polarité, le piston est sorti, liquide de frein etc, voiture bloquée, camion assistance, étrier a changer, 450€, bonsoir.
Instead of disconnecting the 12V battery, I think it would be much easier to disconnect the fuse that feeds the TCAM unit. Anyone know which fuse, though? :)
That’s awesome to see the results after 100,000 km. I’ve got 33,000 km on mine and I’ve noticed no degradation but I haven’t checked the battery health part. Very pleased with my Polestar 2 also.
Thank you so very much for the backup battery Velcro mount tip 😄 This is such a useful hack. I did need to watch a different video to learn how to remove the C-pillar trim, but it's easy once you know how
questions: what model is it year and spec. And also carbon tax increase again this summer I’m getting an EV, drive 100km daily and have easy level 2 charge at home
You may not know this, and/or may not even see this, but what's your thoughts on one of the epb retracting with a 9v and then the other not. I ended up having to use a 12v battery on one side. I'm wondering if that would be a tell tale sign that it's going bad.
great to hear no serious degradation issues. I think that the 78kwh battery has about 3kwh top buffer (so 75kwh net), which probably is not counted in degradation calculation. So actual degradation could be around 9-10% including top buffer if around 70.5kwh (0.94*75) remain. Still the number is great, and if degradation is linear you would see the 70% only after 300k km. What is your average energy use in kwh/100kms if I may ask? For the GOM, do you use the standardized consumption, or the one based on your behavior?
You’re probably right. I’m at 20.1kwh/100kms. And this is after winter. Figure based on my behaviour. It should be interesting what the figure will be in 50K. I’m at 104,000 now so it won’t take too long.
Awesome to hear that you are enjoying your Polestar 2 after 100,000 km! Out of curiosity, what program were you using to measure the battery degradation?
This video save my day🎉. Thank you so much. Just remind that dont forget to open the cap of brake fluid, then release the brake, otherwise piston cannot push back.
Disconnected negative terminal. But if your car is off, there is no power going to that motor. It won’t mess anything up if you complete the repair and plug it back in before you turn the ignition on again to cycle the parking brake.
Thanks for the video. I will try this. I had my epb always retracting and does not engage. If I remove the epb motor and rotate the piston shaft, there was always 1 full turn to engage the rear brake. I will try to retract the piston all the way in the caliper this time.
Thank you for this tip and video. I have just done the rear pads on my V70 only to find that a previous owner or garage had stripped one of the Torx bolts which hold the EPB motor in place so I couldn't remove it. This video was posted in the comments of the video I watched on how to wind the EPB back manually and while I didn't have a 9V battery to make it work, I did have a spare 12v leisure battery which worked perfectly in its place. This video should be considered gold to Volvo owners and in fact anyone who has the similar style of EPB
This is AMAZING! Thanks. 9 volt battery worked great and took all of 10 seconds. So glad I found this video and didn't disassemble the electric parking brake actuator like all the other videos tell you to do. Thanks again!
It did. I had the issue once more so the hack was useful. Just parked to shop and took the battery with me. Came back a while later and put it back in and solved the glitch. I think recent software updates have fixed the issue for most PS2’s.
2:03 just goes to show why it kept jumping up the error bulb warning on speedo cluster if you swapped it around the other way it would of been fine, yet you ended up buying more canbus ballast adapters and drilled holes in the headlight unit back plate causing condensation.... what dumbass does something that stupid when a 2nd hand headlight is £700+
