Bleeding Brakes
Bleeding brakes
Caution:
For vehicles with extremely high mileage or for very old vehicles, damage to the brake master cylinder can occur and the primary boots can be
damaged!
^
Double the number of pumping cycles and use only half of the master brake cylinder stroke!
1. Fill reservoir to its top edge with new brake fluid.
2. Connect a bleeding device to the brake fluid reservoir. Switch on the bleeding device. Bleeding pressure approximately 2.0 bar.
Note:
^
Bleed the outer bleeder valve first!
3. Continue bleeding at the brake calipers in the sequence: Sequence: Rear right / rear left / front left / front right.
4. Open each bleeder valve until clear, bubble-free brake fluid emerges.
5. Use a transparent hose and a collecting bottle to check the escaping brake fluid accurately for cleanliness, lack of air bubbles and to determine the
brake fluid used.
After installing a new brake master cylinder and/or a new hydraulic unit, do the following while bleeding:
^
Open the right rear bleeder valves, then fully depress the brake pedal several times.
^
Hold for 2 - 3 seconds after each depression, then release slowly.
^
Repeat this procedure in the sequence rear left / front right / front left. This will remove all air bubbles (from the primary circuit).
Note:
^
Also carry out this procedure if the brake hydraulics was largely empty or if after bleeding residual air can be detected by excessive
brake-pedal travel!
6. Switch off and disconnect the bleeding device. Correct the brake fluid level if necessary.
