![]() Will this be obvious with some kind of gurgling and if this is really basic, but wanna do it right and the book ain't helping. There no mention of using a bleed tube or anything (just loosen the connections), so does this mean that fluid is likely to squirt everywhere and how can you tell if the air is expelled if it just squirting out of a loose connection?. Moving on in the process the book says to loosen these connections and press the pedal in the normal bleeding fashion until all the air is expelled. Am I right in thinking that the book is saying bleed at the two connections on the master cylinder? It's making me wonder if I'm looking at the correct pipes!. why is the book saying blind end and cowl and what does it mean?. Now there is only two connections on the master cylinder and they are logically front & rear on the master cylinder (aspect of looking at the car) so I'd be happy thinking I know what the book is talking about, but. repeat steps and bleed the rear (cowl) connection. Then later goes on to say:-īlah, blah, blah . disconnect the forward (blind end) brake pipe connection at the master cylinder. So this is going to be my next step, but the book is confusing me a little, it say's:-īlah, blah, blah . So back to the book to discover another process I missed (although from my reading, I shouldn't need to do it), but. In a flurry of non-genius thought, I reckoned that going back and priming the master cyl would cure all my problems. Sorry in advance this is a long post, but I'm looking for inspiration, inebriation or just a bit of basic advice.Īfter reading the book, the first conclusion I came to was the lights (dash 'Check Brakes and DIC Service ASR & ABS) are all switched by the master cylinder resovoir level sensor also I'd failed to 'prime' the master cyl. I'm off to study the FSM, but anyone got any ideas/thoughts? The servo 'seems' to be working in as much as the pedal goes down if you press on it and start the engine. When driving the brake pedal feels too hard (little give) and the brakes are useless. ![]() Went home, re-bled the system (no more air came out), started the engine and now all the lights (Check Brakes, Serv ASR, Serv ABS) are on all the time! At this point the Check Brakes light also came on in the dash display. Thought I'd try the ABS suggestion and went for a drive and and stamped on the brakes to activate the ABS. ![]() Then I started the engine and the usual dash/DIC lights went through there cycle and then (without driving or pressing the brake pedal) the DIC Service ASR and Service ABS lights came on. Put it back together, refilled with new fluid (DOT 4) and flushed/bled all four corners. I syphoned off most of the old fluid from the master cylinder and removed the fluid container (not the entire mast cyl) to give it a good clean. I've just finished flushing and bleed the system and now the dash and DIC are lit up like a xmas tree!!!. Now ain't it great when a plan comes together.! I'll try being a bit more forceful with it then.
