Yet another problem..Brake bleeding
« on: 03 May 2012, 19:49 »
Right, well turns out earlier it was the rear hoses, so i've replaced both. But now i've bled both rear but i have no pedal?  its just going straight to the floor and it sounds like theres air coming out from the engine bay?

Can anyone tell me what the heck is  going on? 4 hours of frustration! Also, is there a specific way to bleed a GTi?

Cheers!  :angry:

Better to do it with a pressure bleeder

You must follow the correct sequence when bleeding the brakes. Even if you don't touch the front brakes they still need bleeding

Yes, as you have to keep the level at the top otherwise you'll end up dragging air through the system and risk blowing the seals in the master cylinder.
