Replaced the master cylinder and proportioning valve on my `83 245 this week. Took 3 evenings and ~1 gallon of DOT 4. Used a (homemade) pressure bleeder; I recommend it. Volvo brakes are too complex to bleed effectively any other way. Bentley says bleed at least a pint from each caliper.
The brake failure light never came on for me. And while I sem to have more pedal than I expected, I don't have any softness or fade.
