well i posted b4 about my lack of brake pressure.. well i change that pressure/brake failure valve, and that helped none at all... and i had hell putting the brake line fittings back in the valve.. i had to replace one of the lines. and finding a replacement wasnt the easiest thing to do so i had to buy a line from autozone and bend and cut it the way i needed it.. well the flairing tool didnt do much good in sealing the end back up... geez i am havin all kinds of hell wit my brake, o yea when i tried bleeding my brakes, only my backs would bleed... in the front i couldnt get anything to happen with the front driverside, the front passenger side i got it to bleed a little, any suggestions

 

Did you try bleeding the lines at the Valve first for the front?
Try bleeding the lines at the valve as well.

 

u know i didnt even think about that...

 

Try that and let me know.

 

so exactly how do u do that??

 

You can either do it like you are bleeding the brakes.Or open the line and have someone press the brake pedal and hold it then tighten the line.
Either one will work.
Or if you have a power bleeder just open the lines and let it run out.

 

Does the Volvo PDWA (warning valve) need to be "centrallized" before bleeding as other makes do? That might be the reason you can't bleed the fronts...especially if Tech's suggestion of bleeding at the valve junctions is successful.

I hate to say this, but it must be considered: Are the brake "circuits" you are having difficulty with, the ones where you replaced the pipes? Maybe one is crimped.

Lastly, if you have a pressure bleeder, try a reverse bleed: pump the brake fluid into the caliper bleeder valve, towards the master cylinder.

HTH

 

naw the one i replaced the line on is actually getting fluid, its not doin as well as the rears but its doin a lot better than the front driver side... and i checked out the lines to see if they were crimped they werent though... i think my car is gay... what exactly do u mean by centralizing the warning valve??

 

Im not exactly sure what he means by "Centralized.
But did you get fluid from the valve bleeding it?
Is it any better now?
