After a complete brake job (MC to pads including hoses) I could not get a firm peddle. Despite advice from you-all to bench bleed the MC, I didn’t. Found this youtube video on bleeding a MC in the car. I did a variation for our dual system connecting hoses from the two LF top bleeders to the reservoir. I was able to pump the peddle and watch for bubbles. Sure enough there were a couple. I then went around to each wheel following the Volvo procedure. BANG! I had a very firm peddle.
