Changed the fronts on my B from 1.4 16v "Green stuff" grooved+ vented to 2.0 set up...

Need to bleed the system?



Fucking scary not having any other brakes other then your handbreak

What way are your bleed nipples pointing? Up or down?

get your mate to sit in the car, tell him to pump the pedal three times and hold it there, and when hes done that you open up the bleed nipple and close it again quickly

do this untill you stop seeing bubbles coming out

Open the bledd nipple on passenger side, get a mate to pump the brake pedal for say a good 10 pumps, on the 11th hold it down. Close the nipple. Do this to the driver's side. Check pedal staus, if hard then fine if abit spongey repeat above.

If you do that you're just going to lose a helluva lot of fluid.

You lose the fluid out of the nipple and replenish the fluid in the bottle.

When was your brake fluid last fully changed, as remember brake fluid is hydroscopic

I do at work but if i was doing it at home use a tube from nipple and point it into a bottle to catch the old fluid.
