According to alldata.com the procedure for the Volvo calls for between 29 and 40 psi when using a bleeding unit. It also says to start with the right front caliper (closest). That also goes against the way I was taught, but I figured it must be a ABS thing.
In the Bentley manual (E-class Bible) it recommends that:
"Caution - On vehicles equipped with ASR, do not attempt to change the brake fluid without using a pressure bleeder capable of maintaining a pressure of 2 bar (30 psi). The fluid and bubbles cannot be effectively evacuated from the system without a pressure bleeder with 2 bar capacity."
Fortunately, my Benz doesn't have ASR.

Just use a pressure bleeder that hooks up to an air compressor or a vacuum bleeder. Its universally used. btw alldata can be wrong so its good to go by the factory service manual first which states nothing about having a certain psi bleeder
