I have changed the calipers on my s2 and some of the pipes,the pipes were left open for about a week so all the fluid dripped out.I can't get a solid pedal now.it still has the abs hooked up and I'm getting fluid from every corner.any ideas?ta,lee

 

You Tried pressure bleeding?

 

No,don't have a pressure bleeder.

 

take the abs off its a waste of time on rst it makes the brakes feel dead get rid of it & you will have brakes that actually stop the car

 

rear arms need lifting or wheels on ground when bleeding the rears

 

Remember that at the back end you need to bleed the brakes with the suspension on its wheels as the rear load sensing valves will prevent it from bleeding otherewise. Jack the car up, take the wheel off and then lower the car onto an axle stand under the rear swing arm to compress the suspension as it would be when on its wheels.

 

Doh! beat me to it lol.

 

I did al that stuff with the rear brakes and I just want them bled do I can get it mot d this week so is there any trick I'm missing?jacking the rear up high,pressure bleeding,having the front wheels turning????

 

it might be because the brake pads need bedding in.

 

its not the pads,theres just no brake pedal.when you pump the brakes the pedal gets firmer but when you release the pedal it goes soft.theres air somewhere,maybe the abs pumps?if so how do i get that out??

 

Get rid of the ABS mate, best thing you can do to the standard setup
