Brake pedal to floor C70

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark R. on  Tue Apr 28 08:31 CST 2015 [RELATED]

So I still have brakes on my 2000 C70 Convertible, but the pedal has to travel nearly to floor.

Sounds like master cylinder, right?

If I purchase, is it worth getting a ATE 8602305 Master Cylinder (C70 S70 V70) from FCP Euro from $91.11, then bleeding brakes myself?

I know the recommended wheel sequence for bleeding, but here are residual questions:

1) Do you agree that it's likely the master even though I see no leaking fluid?
2) Is getting ATE master worthwhile vs. nearly $300 for a Volvo part?
3) Does the reservoir just pull right out for reinstallation on new master?
4) What is bench bleed of the new master?

Thanks!
