Great Video! Just a couple of things I noticed while successfully completing the job. 1) A 11/16 in socket is a good substitute for an 18mm socket for removing the caliper bracket bolts.2) The Disc Brake Anti- rattle clip can be easily installed if you lock the part in place using a 3" C Clamp. You might put a piece duct tape on the sheet metal part to help😄 hold the clamp in place and prevent damage to the finish.
You can also use the brakes from the XC60. Although the discs are slightly smaller (328mm), the caliper has two pistons instead of only one in the XC90/S80 caliper.
@@flavioc5389 not much difference having one big piston vs 2 small ones, especially when those 2 piston are on the same side. so not much of an upgrade over 336mm
Great video, just confirming here to confirm the torque amount for brake callipers was 200 Nm. The OEM Volvo rotors come with the specs which is also quite handy but RUclips always makes things easier.
If you depress brake pedal an inch or a little more you will have the master cylinder piston passage fill holes from reservoir and the fluid will not drain continuously and risk air in the ABS pump module. I use a piece of PVC pipe or a length of old broom handle to fashion a pedal presser of a length that allows me to adjust seat forward to depress pedal.
Red locktite requires heat to get it back apart. I won't even let it in my shop door. Someone in the future will not be happy with you when the heat shield bolts break off. I would actually use anti-seize and tighten them adequately. I work on old cars routinely and God bless the tech who plans for the car to last 50 years or more.
Hi! I have a 2011 S60 and I'm planning to replace the wheels because they're a bit crusty. Any idea if the Volvo 18 inch Y spoke wheels will fit along with the 336mm disc upgrade or do I look for 19 inch wheels?
I did this upgrade, but instead of 336mm, I decided to go with 316mm. Because of the added weight, the steering became a lot stiffer. Did you feel the same? Edit: After doing a complete brake fluid change, the steering became a lot better.
Appreciate this video FCP Euro! I have a 2017 V60 R-Design and would love to do this upgrade. Could you post a list of the donor car and model years to pickup the 336mm calipers & brackets? I see the only kits available at FCP require you have your own calipers. Thanks!
Can, I do the same thing to my p3 2010 xc70 3.2 with the 16" rims. I have 316mm rotors. Just did the front 3 months ago. All new pads and rotors, I quess I am a little demanding on my brakes. After the break on time, great. Now with my normal style, they pulsate like crazy. Not using autozone parts. What do you think
Excellent video. I just got myself a 2013 XC60 R-Design, wondering if my P2 XC90 2.5T would be a good donor car for those front brakes (wrecked and breaking for parts). Please let me know!
What if the front brake upgrade is only going from 316mm rotors to 336mm? My guess is that the hoses would NOT need to be changed. Does anyone have insight for this assertion I've made?
im trying to go from the 316mm to the 336mm. i have the new larger rotors but the caliper bracket doesnt fit. is there a different caliper from 316 to 336 or is it just the caliper bracket thats different?
Hi, for sure the brackets are differents, there is the disk size written on them. I dont know exactly about the caliper, on a forum it's written that it's the same, but volvo has a different ref number for 316 and 336mm

I already have the 336mm rotors with a single-piston caliper on my 2010 S80 V8 AWD. Are they better or worse than the XC60?
@@Matt_from_Florida the XC60 caliper has two pistons, thus it will give a better brake feel and more uniform pressure over the pad/discs contact are.

Yes please more Volvo con tent P3 specifically T6 S 60

I just used the front calipers/ brackets from the 2010-2015 xc60 paired with the pads and rotors now I have dual piston calipers and 336mm rotors
Excellent explanation. I have a 2017 Rdesign P*, and would love to upgrade my brakes.
Happy New Year from your followers in Benghazi, Libya
Could you do a P3 S60 rear brake upgrade. Maybe going through what Volvo P2 or P3 donor brakes could work. Would P2 S60r rear brakes fit the P3 S60.

Thank u! Nice informative video! By the way 300mm to 330mm rotor are they using the same brake pad?
Is their a Volvo part number for the dust shields as cant find this anywhere.
Tia advance a great video 👍
Thank you so much for the video.👍🏽👌🏽
Thank you for watching Randel!
What are the max discs that can be put on 17 inch wheels...im looking for upgrade to c-max 2014 mk2
Awesome video !
Vida says no pin grease for my P3 xc70. I assume the same for your brakes.
Why does everyone still use grease on caliper pins?

I think Volvo XC90 2003-2014 have 336MM rotor.
What if the front brake upgrade is only going from 316mm rotors to 336mm? My guess is that the hoses would NOT need to be changed. Does anyone have insight for this assertion I've made?
Keep us posted if you decide to tackle this, Steven!
Can you do a big brake kit for the P1 chassis
I just bought a 2010 S80 V8 AWD. What do you Volvo guys do for upgrading the brakes on that model?
You had to size up on the caliper hanger too, right?
im trying to go from the 316mm to the 336mm. i have the new larger rotors but the caliper bracket doesnt fit. is there a different caliper from 316 to 336 or is it just the caliper bracket thats different?

calipers are differents, I found it out in the forums
Is it possible to install brembo from v70r to 2010 xc70?
If you figure it out, let us know!
Great video! Does any of this carry over to the XC60?
Xc60 already has dual piston 320mm brakes?
So does this work for Volvo S80 D5 2007 ?
No 336 , ,,,, 316
