Abs bleeding procedure
- Thread starter SEATCOOBER
- Start date
last resort then mate.. let me know the out come as i am going to book mine in soon for a abs bleed and a presure bleed at same time, is your problem the pedal travels about 1.5 inch to 2 inch before it bites causing it to be spongey..
kind of yeah i got told to get the abs pump to kick in a few times as i fitted a new one saturday, and get it to push the air out that way so i booted the car round the streets and heavy on brakes, and i done that today and my pedal has come back to solid. so maybe air in abs pump mate.. ill let you know if it stays good or goes bad again.
seatcoober any news on your car yet mate mine is fine since fitting the abs pump and getting it to work ..
got it back today from audi still not impressed with it to be honest, they bleed it a few times did not carryout an abs bleed they said cos ive put new dics and pads on need to bed in and warm up but its still going back because i dont think the brakes have improved any still loads of pedal travel and you can pump the biting point up so it brakes nearer the top of the peadal
getting the abs pump to work what do you mean????
getting the abs pump to work what do you mean????
when mine was bad it would not pump up it stayed rubbish. and to get the abs pump to work you need to do about 40mph and press brake very hard as if your doing an emergancy stop and you should fill it in the pedal pulsing. after i done this it pushed the air behind the pump so you can bleed it ..
ive been told by a seat mechanic if you pressure bleed the system with under 1 bar of pressure all the valves are open and the system will bleed as normal not even needing to do an abs bleed apparently, im really fed up with this as not even the pros know whats wrong with it!!!
well what have you changed mate cause i change lots before i got mine fixed, but the abs pump was the last thing i fitted and mine is fine now.. when your sat stillnot moving and hand break off dose the pedal start to give under presure if you keep pushing it cause thats what mine done, and when driving it , it was going down 2 inchs then starting to stop. but felt spongey and not solid ..
yeah sorry mate i forgot to put with engine running and is it solid or spongey even when it bites it goes that bit further than it should ..
i havent bleed mine again since getting a very good pedal but im going to on saturday cause if there was air in front of the abs pump and its now behind i want to get that air out .. also on the odd occasion the pedal goes a little softer but not a lot so maybe still a bit of air left in there ..
might be worth a little bleed with vag com , cant do no harm really
iancupra off here drove mine today and he thought my brakes were attrocious compared to his, his bro is a mechanic and he has explained my issues with him so im waiting to here from him, what i did not mention is when i replaced the brembos i had to replace the pasenger brake line from the abs pump because my unoins were siezed on my old pipe may this be the cause as the pipe id is smaller or bigger than std causing the spongey pedal?
dont really want to do any hard braking till my discs and pads are bedded in cos i dont want another set of warped discs
