Brake Problem 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be DeWayne on  Sun Mar 2 12:17 CST 2003 [RELATED]

If you are not losing any brake fluid, then the master cylinder has an internal bypass problem (bad internal seals) and it will need to be replaced. You are driving with reduced braking power, so don't let this go too long. There are two different master cylinders that fit Volvo, the difference being where the lines exit the MC, so make sure you get the correct one. Make sure you bench bleed the new MC before you install it on the car.
