VR6 Brakes

Recommended Posts

Well where do I start.

 

I recently upgraded the discs on my VR6 to Padgid and replaced the pads at the same time. While I was at it I thought I may as well change the brake hoses for Godridge ones which inevitably caused me to need to bleed the system.

 

Incidently why do goodridge provide you with six hoses when there is only one on each brake? I only changed 4 at any rate.

 

I bled the system firstly using one of those easy bleed kits in the order Back drivers, Back passangers, Front Drivers, Front Passangers. I must have bled each one at least 4 times,each time doing it till no air was left, then each time I re-bled them more air was present. I eventually gave up when I was getting no feeling in the brake pedal after bleed No 4. This weekend back out and bled them all over and over again till I was sure no air was left. There is more feeling in the brakes now so I took it for a quick run and almost immidiately the ABS light came on. I also managed to get one wheel to lock before giving up last night. I have read all the posts about brake bleeding and have followed all the advice. I honestly don't know where I am going wrong. Please help!!!! :(

The 2 extra hoses are for the read break bias valve near the axel.

 

Sounds like you may have got air into the ABS pump, there is a procedure for fixing this but it involves VAG-COM and 170 presses of the brake pedal....

 

Might be an idea to get some specialist advice, are you near to anywhere like Stealth Racing at all?
