Dave Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 @fyfie5 If it's been empty mate, there will most probably be air in the system. Can't remember the exact sequence for bleeding them, as its been a while since I did them, but think its rear left first, then front drivers side, then rear right and lastly front pass side. Top up the resevoir first though, and leave the cap off during the whole process. You'll need to keep topping it up as you go, so keep and eye on it. Don't let it go down far or again, you'll be drawing air in. If you're stuck, you can bring it down to mine if you want and I'll give you a hand to do it in my garage? As long as all the bleed nipples free off easily, it's a doodle to bleed the brakes mate. I usually order a full set of new ones before I start so that any dodgy ones can be replaced One last thing though, if the fluid resevoir was empty (or almost) then I suspect you have a leaking rear cylinder, a leak at the front calipers, or possibly the master cylinder itself. Have a good look around the above areas for any sings of fluid weeping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I normally bleed from rear passenger side, then rear drivers, then front passengers then front drivers, always seems to work fine for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 hmmm, might be that way round then! Will need to consult the good old Haynes book of bollocks to see what the actual pattern for bleeding the brakes is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 my mate normally comes round to help me and he works at a garage, he always does furthest away from the main cylinder then work yourself towards the nearest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
