Brake pipe washers leaking
Hi, I was reading Car Mechanics current issue which referred to a problem on 1999 VW Passats and Golfs. I am passing on info in case it refers to any Volvos. On the affected cars, the washer between the brake pipe and the caliper had Aluminium washers which had corroded ( due to road salt) and let the brake fluid out. On most similar joints I have seen, they had copper washers which don't corrode. It seems a VW cost reduction caused use of the aluminium. Do any Volvos use aluminium washers ?
