So the good news is the S60 on the road and rolling again. After numerous hours researching and looking at forums, two maybe three days of pumping and bleeding, changing out the master not just once but twice it came down to a basic oversight. Yes, I did have one of the caliper spring installed wron...

I can easily adapt my pressure bleeder to work at the calipers. I also have enough hose that I can watch the master as I back-pressurize the system. Is there any chance of damaging the ABS unit or any of the other braking components with this technique? I am certain that pressurize the system, by co...

Sorry I am not sure I understand your response.

Do you mean the booster could be split?

I am also not familiar with the Syringe reverse bleed, can you explain.

Thanks

What fun. Wasted another day on the brakes with no results. I pulled and inspected each caliper and pads, everything is solid. Bench bled my old master and used the pressure bleeder. I got a reasonable amount of air from the fronts but nothing from the back. Had the best feeling pedal in a week only...

Thanks, it sounds encouraging. I am anxious to go try this bleeder and I appreciate your information.

I just looked my bootleg VATIS information. It states to use .2-.3 Mpa for ABS which is 29LBS-43lbs.
The vatis bleeding sequence and it states front then rear on the S60.

Thanks, that is the way I have always done all my brake work. Unfortunately last night a tec posted that the VATIS order for a S40 is FR, FL, RL, RF. I may have the wrong model listed but it was front then rear. Just wondering if it mattered on the S60? Do you know if the ABS requires any special bl...

Yes. I covered that in my post, but I will check them aging today.
Thanks

So this seems to be a fairly common complaint, A soft or spongy pedal after replacing pad and or rotor. Well I am stumped and really need some sound advice. I had no issues with the brakes or pedal prior to this incident. I have also changed pads on this vehicle a couple of times. It a 2001 with und...

The wifes 2001 S60 is in need of a front suspension overhaul, around 75,000 miles. I am not looking for performance only to restore the stock ride. I have identified the following components for replacement: Struts- going with sachs Strut bushings Strut mounts Links possibly control arms and ball jo...

Jeff,
I am looking at replacing my front suspension in our S60.
I priced out the parts with Sachs struts, control arms, strut bushings and links. Your price quote of $1000.oo with parts and labor sounds like a deal.
