HI,

I work with a guy who was a volvo tech for 15 years, and he clued me in to the following. Apparently the ABS unit is very prone to getting air in it when doing the front calipers. The solution: bleed the brakes, then find a gravel parking lot or wet road and do a few panic stops in order to get the ABS to activate a few times on all four wheels. This should be enough to move the air down into the bleedable part of the system. Rebleed the system, and you should be good to go. I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of my spongy pedal, and this finally did the trick. I'm not saying that this is your problem for certain, but if all else fails it is worth a try.

Good Luck!
