    2001 V70 2.4, front brake pads are looking thin...

    I assume changing pads is pretty straightforward... No software update
    or VADIS connection needed?

    Any special tools?

    Can rotors ever be turned, or should I go ahead and get a pair while I'm
    at it?

    Thanks...

    Brakes are pretty straightforward. Whether the rotors can be turned
    depends on how thin they are. Normally, Volvo front rotors seem to last
    2 sets of pads, then they're too thin.

    i had new rotors put on my s80t6 for aprox $100
    per side, w/pads....the mechanic told me not to turn them
    as, the newer rotors don't "take turning" like the older ones
    did...labor & $ wise...it is quicker and cheper to just
    replace them...........
