| Bleeding braking system on vehicles with and without ABS |
| The bleeding of the brake system is described for Brake filling and bleeder unit -SAT 1150-. |
| Special point regarding vehicles with ABS/EDL |
| When at least one chamber in the brake fluid reservoir is completely empty (e.g. leaks in braking system) the hydraulic unit must be bled with fault reader -V.A.G 1551- in function “basic setting”. |
Caution | When filling with brake fluid using brake filling and bleeder unit -SAT 1150-, it is essential to ensure that the filling pressure of 1 bar is not exceeded. |
|
| If the filling pressure exceeds 1 bar it cannot be guaranteed that the hydraulic unit is bled sufficiently. |
| Introduction of basic setting |
Note! | t
| Bleeding the braking system on vehicles with ABS is carried out as for vehicles with conventional braking systems. |
| t
| On non-ABS vehicles with a brake pressure regulator, move the regulator lever when bleeding rear brakes. |
| t
| Use new brake fluid with part No. -B 000 700 A .- (Enter container index for decimal point). |
| t
| Brake fluid is poisonous. Also due to its corrosive effect brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork. |
| t
| Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the ambient air and should therefore always be stored in air tight containers. |
| t
| Rinse off brake fluid spillages, by using plenty of water. |
