Volvo: 760 Turbo brakes, power bleeder, turbo brakes


Question
Ray,
No brake fluid is being pumped to the front driver side brake, even though a new brake line is installed. Brake fluid comes to the other brakes.
Help!
Thanks!.
George

Answer
George,
The brake line is new ok is fluid not coming out of the tube or valve that the brake line is screwed to? Follow it back toward the master cylinder and see where you get fluid and where it stops. You might also try a power bleeder that will use pressure to bleed the brakes. That is the perfered way to bleed the system. You did not mention the year of the vehicle so I do not know if you have ABS. Some of the brake lines also go to the ABS pump unit. Just take loose the line snd see at what point the fluid begins to flow.
