Whats the easiest way to do this and i cant afford to buy a gunsons kit!!!

 

either an easy bleed, or the good old fasion way (1 person pushing the peddle, the other bleeing the brakes)

 

easibleed is SOOOO easy and only about 18quid!

othersie get 1 person pumping peal whilst other person opens/closes bleed nipple

 

echo

 

deja vu

 

Dont ya need loads of brake fluid a bottle and a length of pipe to do it the old fashioned way!!!

 

Mate by reading your last reply you really don't have a clue on how to bleed brakes do you.

Perhaps its worth paying for someone to do them for you, afterall your brakes are kinda important.

 

well the brake dluid you need obviously

the length of pipe you can use any old bit of pipe (or not use one at all!) the bottle, just use an old cup or summink

 

I bought a kit from halfords which is just a bottle and a pipe with an anti return valve. Also got 2m of clear plastic pipe and a plastic joiner (near the windscreen wipers, the pipe is actually for the windscreen washer). I can have the bottle in sight while I press the pedal, the anti-return valve means I can walk round to the car when the fluid is clear and close the bleed valve without re-introducing air in the system.
Worked for me purrfect, just need to keep an eye on the fluid level in the engine bay that's all cos you use a bit more of it that way.

 

ive done it before with my mate a long while ago though i should be fine

 

Where do i start and which wheel order do i go in??

 

Normally:

1, front drivers side
2, rear passenger side
3, front passenger side
4, rear drivers side.

 

Cheers mate!!

 

frog, ive used one of them before with success... but it wont give a PERFECT bleed like the ol pasioned way will as the 1 way valves aint great...

handy if you not got any mates tho

 

What car you bleeding hartyboy ? I'm pretty sure with a cossie you do the rear passenger side last, not sure about the order from end to end though.
With 2.5 meters of clear fluid in the pipes, you have plenty of time to get round the car before anything gets back in though
If you only use the little piece of tubing that comes with the kit, then yeah, chances are the bleed won't be purrfect.

Hey listen you, I've got mates , none of them are interested in helping with me car though

 

I'm bleeding a S2 i live real close to town so if the worst comes to the worst i'll take it to the garage for them to do but i doubt i'll have to

I thought you half filled a bottle with fluid connect the pipe to the bleed nipple with the pipe in the bottle and pumped the pedal till no more bubbles appear or untill lots of fluid has passed through, plus keep the top off the res and keep topping it up

 

Yeah, should be alright as long as there is no air left in the plastic pipe at all, otherwise it can make it's way back into the system by the time you've legged it round the car...

 

I'll get a mate to help me do it that way he can press the pedal and i can do the bleeding.......hard bit!!!

 

u should start the at the farest one away from the master cylinder and work your way round the car
