Brake Bleeding On A Mk2

[bigdave982]

Hi all

tommorow is the big day,weather permitting !!!planning on getting at least the front discs and pads done ,also change the fluid while Im at it

Having a peruse on here for bleeding tips (no pun intended) and have found a couple of references to using vagcom to bleed the abs block. Id have thought that so long as I dont empty the resevoir and let air in this shouldnt be nessesary,after all its just flushing out the old fluid with new,should be using an esibleed to do the job

 

Can i just bleed calipers as I re-assemble the discs or is it best to go (i assume )nsr,osr,nsf,osf)working on the furthest away from resevior to nearest principle

 

Thanks for your help

Dave

Yes, so long as no air gets in, you can leave the abs modulator well alone.

 

Work from shortest to longest pipe route, with ABS that's NSF - OSF - OSR - NSR.
