Frequently asked questions about Volvo brake fluid change & replacements
Read our answers to questions about brake fluid change costs, symptoms and more.
What does a brake fluid replacement on my Volvo involve?
- Mechanic will inspect the brake system.
- Mechanic will advise if other parts of the brake system need replacing too.
- If necessary, the mechanic will replace the brake fluid and bleed the air from the system.
- Mechanic will inspect the brake system and, if deemed safe, test drive the car.
What are the symptoms of bad Volvo brake fluid?
- If you suspect there is any issue with your brake fluid or are concerns about its age or condition, book an inspection with immediate effect.
- Whilst there are little outward signs that there is an issue with your brake fluid, you may find that your brakes feel less responsive than they used to.
How long will a brake fluid change take on my Volvo?
A brake fluid change usually takes around 1.5 hours, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should you replace Volvo brake fluid?
Usually, brake fluid is only replaced at the time recommended by the manufacturer. However if there has been damage to the brake system and components such as a brake caliper needing replacement, then it's best to have the fluid replaced as well rather than just bleeding the air out the system.
If you overheat the brakes on a regular basis then the fluid will need changing more frequently in order for it to retain its efficiency.
How can I extend the life of my Volvo brake fluid?
As with most parts of your car, the less pressure you put on any part of your car’s brakes, the longer the fluid remains effective. If you carry heavy loads frequently, or tow a caravan for example, your brake system will come under greater pressure than it would otherwise and as such the quality of the fluid may be reduced by the heat being generated. Therefore, removing unnecessary weight from the vehicle will not only improve your fuel consumption, it will also maintain the efficiency of your brake fluid.
Also consider your driving style. Anticipating the road conditions ahead, keeping your speed as constant as possible, and thereby avoiding sharp braking are all likely to lengthen the interval between brake fluid replacements.
How long does it take to bleed brakes on my Volvo?
On average it takes under 1 hour to bleed the brakes on a car. Ultimately, the time will depend on a number of factors like the vehicle make and model and type of braking system.
What are signs of low brake fluid on my Volvo?
Some common signs of low brake fluid include:
* Brake warning light on the dashboard is illuminated
* Unresponsive brake pedal - or it takes longer to brake
* Noisy brakes or brake pads vibrating
* Discoloured brake fluid
What colour is Volvo brake fluid?
New or healthy brake fluid is typically light yellow or amber in colour. As the brake fluid ages, it becomes darker and eventually turns brownish when it has come to the end of its life.
Can local garages offer home collection and delivery for Volvo brake fluid change?

Once booked a mechanic will pick up the vehicle on the day and time of your choice, do the work, and return the vehicle at a time convenient to you. Simply enter your vehicle registration number and postcode to get an upfront price for a brake fluid change on your Volvo.
Can mobile mechanics do Volvo brake fluid change at my home or office?

With ClickMechanic, once booked for a date and time of your choice, your booking will be offered to vetted mobile mechanics in your area.

The job he took on was a straight forward one (bleeding brakes). The last mechanic could not do this job after replacing the driver side rear brake pipe. This pipe fractured after having the rear brake pads changed by Michael last Tuesday.
Joe was going to bring the car back to me but there was a screeching noise coming from the rear break on the drivers side. As the car has not been driven since the breaks were changed he has got to find out what is causing the problem. To say I am glad I have him on the job would be an understatement.”
