NOTE:

Bleeding the hydraulic system using the Brake Filling and Bleeding Equipment:VAS6860 is described.

An initial pressure of 2 bar (29 psi) is required to bleed the ABS Hydraulic Unit -N55-.

Perform the Following Procedures:

NOTE:

Adhere strictly to the procedure when bleeding the brake system.

-- Connect the Brake Charger/Bleeder Unit:VAS5234

-- Open the bleeder valves in the specified sequence and bleed the brake calipers.

1 - Left front brake caliper

2 - Right front brake caliper

3 - Left rear brake caliper

4 - Right rear brake caliper

NOTE:

Use a suitable bleeder hose. It must fit tightly on the bleeder valve so that no air can get into the brake system.

-- With the bleeder bottle hose attached, leave the brake caliper bleeder valve open long enough so that the brake fluid flows out free of bubbles.
