Brake pressure valve 1988 740 gl

Discussion in 'Volvo 740' started by not hereplease, Sep 24, 2003.

  1. The mechanic that works on my Volvo is reluctant to change the above as he
    says it will cause bigger problems than its worth.
    He says if he disturbs the brake pipes and has to bleed the whole system it
    could cause a problem with the servo which would then probably go.

    What are the thoughts of the newsgroup, leave it alone or chance it.

    Find another mechanic who knows brakes much better.

    Cheers, Peter.

    I'll second that. While there may be a problem with pipes breaking when
    you disturb them, and often when you bleed an undisturbed system it can
    stir up the crap sitting in the master cylinder wrecking it, (it won't
    cause any problems with the servo), it's best to get the brakes working
    as they're designed, after all they're kind of important.
