Procedure for Bleeding the ABS Brake Pump

[Select]
[03 - ABS Brakes]
[Basic Settings - 04]
Group 001 (may be group 002 in Mk3 VW Golf/Jetta)
[Go!]

This will trigger the ABS pump to turn on for about 10 seconds. You should hear the fairly loud pump clicking during this time.

Click the [Done, Go Back] button and you're all set.

Just did a search on bleeding brakes but nothing that is helping me.
Im sorry for high jacking this thread.
I have jus re-replaced my mk4 rear calipers on my mk3 with the mk4 calipers as the 1st mk4 calierps that i put on started to leak from the banjo that goes into the calipers. Anyway i replaced them and bled them but i still have spongy breaks. We bled them 4 times per side. The 1st 2 times the car was turned of 2nd time around we bled them with car running. Do i need to bleed the front calipers now? I did 1 side at a time. The banjo hose was off from the caliper for half hour to an hour.

Also will the abs pump need bleeding?

You cant vagcom bleed a mk3 only mk4 and upwards i tried but the pump dosent push the pedal back up my abs works fine no faults nothing just bleed the brakes starting from ns/r and the os/r and so on

And for the question above you dont need to bleed the abs pump did u run out of brake fluid when you changed the flexi banjo hose if you did loose all fluid u need to bleed all brakes as your saying you still feel the pedal is spongie have u tried a leak test to make sure your fitting of the pipe was ok just start the car hold down the pedao if the pipe then becomes wet u have a leak and that will draw air in if i was you bleed all sides use a see through pipe and a empty coke bottle so when u bleed the line you can see any air bubbles that are coming out

Thanks for the reply mate.
No it didnt run out off fluid.
When i took the banjo hoses off i stuck a rag in the hole of the ss pipe so reduced the leak. I did have a leak on the banjo hose going into the caliper only as i was being shy with the banjo bolt mad4vws fixed that.
There are no other leaks as we had the car started and kept pumping the brakes while checking the hoses.
Is it better to bleed the system with the engine running???
Whats the order of blleeding? Drivers rear, pas rear, drivers front then pas front?

Ok i wont blees with engine running.
What do you mean by that? Bit too early for my brain to fully function lol

[sharki786]

I get what you mean now lols. Was too early for me to understand that.

[sharki786]

Ok. We have re bled the system starting from drivers rear, pass rear, drivers then passangers. Its better but very soft at the top of the brake bit. Doesnt go all the way down like it did but i can tell its still not a good bite till the pads heat up

Any help?
