Guidelines For Bleeding
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2013 Volvo C70, 2012 Volvo C70, 2011 Volvo C70, 2010 Volvo C70, and 2009 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When reconditioning or replacing brake calipers bleed the relevant brake pipe as follows.
The brake pedal must be depressed throughout the operation. This is so that the brake system is not drained of brake fluid.
If the braking system has been completely or partly drained, bleed the whole system. A bleeding unit that can pressurize the brake system to 0.2-0.3 Mpa must be used.
NOTE:
Use only Volvo Genuine Parts brake fluid (Volvo DOT 4+). Never reuse brake fluid. Always keep brake fluid well sealed in its original packaging.
