Volvo V40 Front Brake Discs & Pads How To DIY

[@groinlard]

Just followed your video. Clear concise and easy to watch while doing the brakes. Good job 👍

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thank you for the feedback, glad to help 👍

Hi, #IAMASPANNER, very useful and nice to watch video. I would like to ask you please, if you know the volvo v40 2019 does it have wear warning contact? Do I need to order separately them as I dont know. Thank you so much!

[@ahassen1236]

Wonderful. I followed you and managed it myself beautifully. Thanks.

[@pg41226]

Thanks for the great video :) I’ll do this job coming spring, I chose for an ATE set, let’s see how they behave! Just a little note for other Volvo enthusiasts, Volvo Vida tells not to put any grease on the slider pins… I don’t think you did it wrong, just saying 😊

[@squadmeta]

Also avoid using copper grease on pads, use specific brake paste. Copper grease transfers heat from the pad to the caliper and can make the fluid hotter than it needs to be. Reason Volvo (or almost all slider pins) are grease free or a very light smear of lithium grease is to avoid the grease hydrolocking and stopping the pin moving its full travel. If the pins are worn in any way just replace them.

Nice video, I use a rubber puck in the cup of the trolley jack, protects the jacking point imo

Last week i ordered and mounted the same brembo brake pads and discs as you on my Volvo v40. After installation i hear some squeecking from te front on braking. Is this normal after installation? Did you also have the same noise? Thanks!

[@IAMASPANNER]

Did you coat all mating surfaces with copper grease?

[@Ziad-alfa]

@@IAMASPANNER yes is did, the only thing i noticed after a 100 miles is that the brake discs look lightly scratched by the brake pads. The back doesnt have this scratches kn the discs and is also not making this noise.

[@sheffcitys2forgedinsteel255]

Hi great video mate, just what I've been looking for so cheers 🍻, Do you know what brand of discs and pads they come with from factory? And how are the Brembo doing after time?

[@IAMASPANNER]

I don’t know who make Volvo original parts but some sources suggest Brembo or Bosch. The Brembo parts have lasted great, most notably the centres haven’t gone rusty like they have done when I’ve used other parts like Delphi or MTEC.

[@Phalgun27]

What was the replacment disc size? how do i know whats the size on my car?

[@SkipperSkipS]

Did you do the 2 front ones at the same time?

[@chileung2609]

Hi, I like to fit a set of Brembo disc & pad set to my v40, can you let me know where to buy from please?🙏 many thanks!

[@IAMASPANNER]

I used GSF but there are many options where to buy online.

[@abadi430]

is it the same procedure in v40 t3 2019?

[@deltalimited7353]

Thanks a lot . This video is veri useful.

[@rimamura21]

what is the model of the brake discs and pad, put the model. And the rears?

[@IAMASPANNER]

I don’t have the part numbers but they’re Brembos from the local autofactors, GSF.

[@mossbrookbaconboys]

Great video. Thanks

[@zelos94]

Why ur headlight has red ?

[@anitacox7597]

Thank you

[@IAMASPANNER]

Glad to help!

[@petit4695]

i was impressed until you got the copperpaste out. throw that shit in the garbage

[@costindan6180]

Copper paste and wire brush? Really? Otherwise thanks, nice video :)

[@IAMASPANNER]

Been seeing a lot of hate for copper grease this year yet never before, what’s changed? I’ve now got ceramic grease but even that is only supposed to be for the pads? What’s up with the wire brush as well?

[@yeivi1000]

Is like a Ford focus

[@IAMASPANNER]

Yes, the car was designed while Ford owned Volvo so lots of things were similar.
