Air in the system (ABS)
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:45 am
Hallo!
i had to change the pipes because the have been rusty and changed also all gaskets in the rear calipers.
Now I am unable to get read of the air out of the system. I have even hanged (3 times!!) the whole brake head unit.
It looks always the same: ther is no air comming out of the bleeder. Only fluid without any air...
I am doing the front brakes in a 'traditional' way and the rear ones same as written her in the formum (open bleeder, pusching brake pedal, ignition on, 10sec, ignition off, leaving pedal, bleeder close). I have also tried with the over pressure maschine but it doesn't help anyway.
There is no air coming out of the bleeds but i fell that the pedal is quite soft, as if made of rubber... Also if i push the pedal (not hard) but quite fast, about 5...7 times after each other the ABS and brake warning lights are turning on.
What can it be? Is there any other 'trick' that you can not forget during the process? (I have got no Haynes where I could check it ) Is there any bleeder directly on the head unit...
Than you, and I hope that you can understand what i have wrote
