Again, just got a 2006 xc70..51K miles...been driving all week. Brake pedal is low. Too much travel before it grabs. Dealer sold me the car, stated that it passed all tests for sale + inspection. I can see that there is 'meat' on the pads, the front rotors need replacing as there is a Hefty lip on the outer edge. I like to be safe. BUT...this does not explain the low pedal. If I take it back to them, they will charge me for review of the situation. I don't see any leaks, level in reservoir stays constant. I do have an aftermarket warranty with Volvo, so if there is a problem (outside of usable parts like pads and rotors), I am covered. Any thoughts?
PLUS...I will be changing the pads and rotors in the next month or so...FCP and IPD offer many different choices...any consensus on the best /economical combo?
