'04 V70R Soft Brake Pedal

Post by ColoradoChris »

I've got a 2004 V70R with 53,000 miles on the odo. The brakes stop the car well (Brembos right?) but the first third of the pedal depression is really soft. Almost no brake response. My first inclination was to bleed the brakes. Did it last weekend with little to no difference in brake performance.

My knowledge is tapped at this point. Any recommendations would help immensely.
