Brakes fail when backing up S80
2006 S80 just had the brakes and rotors done. A few times (not all of the time) when backing out of my driveway I have experienced no brakes, until I pump them a bit. Brakes are fine when driving, problem did not exist before the brakes where done. Has only happened when reversing after the car has sat overnight.
Thoughts?

could be the vacuum pump/ switch. Some Volvo models have a vacuum pump which builds up brake booster vacuum quickly on a cold start and runs until engine vacuum builds and takes over. Had to fix this on my S40 - it would take a firm foot to brake while backing but all was normal by the time I got to the bottom of my driveway (100ft or so). Do you hear a whirr noise cycle off/on when idling when you start up?
