Trying to bleed my brakes off on my S2 after fitting rear discs but can not seem to get air out of system. but when i washed off some brake fluid i spilt on the master cylinder and servo with water i noticed the water was bubbling around the flandge of the master cylinder where it bolts onto the servo, when the brake peddle was pressed. could this be the reason for air still getting into the system? can anyone help??

 

When you are bleeding the brakes are you doing the rears first and then the fronts.... its easier to get the air out of the system that way. My other half swopped my master cylinder and it was a pain in the RS. Must of bled the brakes a half a dozen times.

 

Not sure about servo, but you need to unbolt the rear calipers so that the bleed nipple is the highest thing on the caliper, in place they aren't

Just loosen the top one and take bottom one out, swivvel it up and bleed away

Rear right, rear left, front right, front left - order to be done in

 

Cheers ill give that a try!

 

I take it you'll have to do the same with front 2WD Cos calipers? (as the other nipple is pointing down...)

 

Wes, presume so, or have you got them upside down

 

thought they had 2 nipples cos of the 4 pots, I maybe being a complete twat though

 

Your being a twat Wes

They have 2 nipples, both facing the same direction (just one on either side of the caliper)!!

 

Unless someone has bolted the wrong sides of the calipers together!
