Bleeding Sequence
1 - Left front brake caliper
2 - Right front brake caliper
3 - Left rear brake caliper
4 - Right rear brake caliper
Bleed the brake caliper at each bleed screw. If the brake caliper has two bleed screws, bleed the outer screw first.
-- Remove the cap -1- on each brake caliper bleed screw and connect the container bleed hose to the bleed screw.
-- Build pressure up in brake system by pumping brake pedal.
Slowly depress the brake pedal to prevent the formation of bubbles.
-- As soon as pressure is built up, hold brake pedal in depressed position.
-- Open the bleeder screw, with bleeder bottle hose connected, until the pressure is relieved (pedal drops).
-- Hold the pedal in completely depressed position and close the bleeder screw.
-- Release brake pedal and wait approximately 2 seconds so that brake fluid can flow out of the brake fluid reservoir.
-- Repeat the procedure until the brake fluid flows out clear and free of bubbles.
-- Tighten the bleeder screw, remove the bleeder hose and connect put the cap on the bleeder screw.
-- Repeat the bleeding procedure in the specified sequence for the other brake calipers.
-- Fill the brake fluid reservoir under consideration of brake pad wear up to the max marking and screw on the fuel cap.
-- Start the engine and check the brake pedal travel and pressure.
-- If the pedal travel is too long, check the brake system for leaks and repeat the bleeding procedure, if necessary.
-- Fill the brake fluid reservoir with brake fluid up to the "max" mark.
-- Screw down the container.
A road test must be performed after bleeding. During this, at least one ABS regulation must be performed!
