Brake fluid change.

[Mikesmith181]

Afternoon guys, I’m wanting to do a brake fluid change on my 2012 XC60, but inside the resivoir there’s a plastic panel that looks to be fixed, what’s the best way to drain the resivoir to put fresh in.
Thanks in advance

You don't drain the reservoir.
You should just pump fresh fluid through the system and out of each of the bleed nipples on the calipers.
Pressure bleeding is advisable on modern cars but some have a automatic system built in which can be enabled with the equivalent of Vida.
Not sure if Volvo's have ths feature though as I just generally pressure bleed.
