Post by: golfgar on 02 July 2010, 13:35

A mate of mine has just done back brakes on a mk4 1.6 v reg,he had to take the calipers off to get them wound back in,now hes put it back together when he bleeds them,they pump fluid through but he then loses all pressure brake pedal goes to the floor,hes checked the system for leaks and there isnt any?? any ideals?

has he put the calipers on the right way around/on the right side? Has he split the Piston seal in the caliper? Still air in system?

on the SERVO is a bleed nipple (hehe yes a nipple)...

undo it, air will escape, slowly press the brake pedal to the floor and hold it there, and do the nipple back up. same thing happened to mine when doing my rear brake.
