Re: BRAKE FALURE 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Josh M on  Thu Oct 11 09:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Check the junction box behind the left front wheel. I had my car in to a volvo only shop 2 months ago for injection work...my mechanic noted a leak at the junction box. I had not noted any problems with the brakes in the 4 months since I got the car, though on that day on the way to the shop they did fade considerably after some downhill heavy braking.

Anyway, he said the box is leaking from the hole through which it bolts to its bracket. I found this hard to understand but he said he's seen it before on a number of older cars. Mine's an '81 244. Replacement is around $70.
