Brake Fluid - DOT 4 only? 850



Check volvospeed.com/bay13 for brake fluid change info. Helps to have a "power bleeder" that you can get from groton or IPD et al. I have a cheapo ( about $20. USD I think) that works fine using spare tire pressure. They all work the same way. You add fluid and pressurize the container to ~20 psi after connecting it to the master cylinder with a special cap. Then you just open individual bleed screws at each wheel until clean fluid runs out. Otherwise you need an assistant to pump the pedal and to keep adding fluid to the MC. Beware introducing air into ABS systems which can cost you mega$$$$$$$ and be a total nightmare to get out
