Carry out subsequent bleeding when: |
t
| brake pedal travel is too long or so-called »soft brake pedal« |
t
| in vehices with EDL, EDL/TCS or EDL/TCD/ESP a chamber in the brake fluid reservoir is completely empty. This occurs e.g. in the case of brake system leaks. |
Subesquent bleeding requires the assistance of a second mechanic: |
–
| Depress brake pedal firmly and hold. |
–
| Open bleeder valve on brake caliper. |
–
| Fully depress brake pedal. |
–
| Close bleed valve with brake pedal held down. |
–
| Release brake pedal slowly. |
This bleed sequence must be carried out 5 times per brake caliper. |
1 - Front left brake caliper |
2 - Front right brake caliper |
3 - Rear left brake caliper |
4 - Rear right brake caliper |
A road test must be carried out after the brakes have been bled. When doing this an ABS regulation must be performed at least once. |
