Brake Bleeding Issue

Post by Shhtuart »

Hey Guys,

I've just bled the brake lines and now the abs light is on. I went rear passenger to rear driver to front passenger and then drivers front. Bleed them until the fluid ran clear like new. I can't find the master cylinder bleeding valve anywhere and I don't have access to the workshop manual.

Any ideas?

Correct order is left rear, right front, right rear, left front, but I don't think that would be your issue.

Did you completely drain the master cylinder, if not this shouldn't need bleeding. PITA if it does.

It's corrected itself somehow. Took it for a short drive and it disappeared. Abs engages correctly and there's less of a sponge in the brake pedal. Win!
