Volvo 740 brake system

Post by Shayenne »

I purchased a 1989 Volvo 740 for my daughter and we need to do brakes. In the process of changing the front rotor we ran into a problem with the caliper and need a new one. When I called for parts they asked me what brake system it has and I don't know. And the booklet won't tell me and neither does the Volvo dealer. Apparently this is "top secret". Can anyone help me out please?

Oh the spelling of "brake" is wrong but I am sure everybody knows what I mean. Sorry

Your car has a tag that indicates what systems are installed. The tag on my 1988 760 Turbo is located on the back on the driver's side B pillar, viewable by opening the rear door. Code information is available.
