Re: BRAKE FALURE 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim holst on  Sat Oct 13 13:28 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Keep looking. On the front calipers there are: 2-lower chamber bleeders on the middle of the caliper alongside the pads, inside and outside. Each front caliper also has a top chamber bleeder on the top of the caliper. Note: if you have ABS brakes, the calipers may be different, I haven't seen the Volvo ABS calipers.

The bleeding sequence is :

1. Left rear

2. Left front top chamber (single bleeder, top)

3. Right front top chamber (single bleeder, top)

4. Right rear

5. Right front - lower chambers ( two bleeders)

6. Left front - lower chambers ( two bleeders)

If you have ABS brakes, the sequence is:

1. Left rear

2. Right rear

3. Left front

4. Right front

This information comes from the Bentley manual. It has been highly recommended on the Brickboard and I get lots of use out of mine. I used its instructions to replace my 240's ball joints and top strut mounts today. It all went pretty well considering it's my first time doing these and I'm on the bottom of the learning curve. Good luck on finding yoyr problem.
