While we're on the PAS pipes side of things, how do you bleed air out?

A bit of searching said to just top it up then full lock either side, then top up.  Anything more to it?

Woo hoo!!  It passed! :cool: :cool: Only advisory was the front brake bias being out about 25% (the limit).

Next plan is to spend a little time with the missus, then give r-tech a call, then spend a long time cleaning it (and somewhere in there will be some anni wheels).  Then I'll be glad to put some proper pics up :afro:

Cheers bud, having a beer now to celebrate.  £1300 it's set me back now including purchase, and it was the easiest car I've worked on to date!

How about sorting out the brakes, then re-mapping it?  :tongue:

lol - they'll be done, as will the PAS pipe, replacing the front bumper, and finding a new cup holder, but hardly as exciting as a remap  :smiley:

good news it passed,  :smiley: :afro: pipe is on it's way so that should be with your post room tomorrow there going to start hating you  :wink: glad the switch is oh,

ref :bleeding yes you just put it lock to lock but it needs to be up on stands you will get a grinding noise thats the air, dont force it if you get the grinding before full lock go back the other way and just keep doing it till it's all quiet and no air, keep an eye on the level in the reservoir and bleed it with reservoir lid off.  :laugh:
