brakes agggghhhhh vr6 93

[nickeboy 0]

i replaced the brake disks, pads, and flexible hoses this weekend, i also replaced the fixed pipes from the rear pressure regulator back as they were corroded a little. after a nightmare with getting the right parts from GFS (i had to replace a rear brake caliper), mine is a 93 and on there system it comes up as a 92 and the parts are different as they changes from 92-93, anyway i got the right parts and fitted them, attached my easy bleed pressed the brake bias valve and bleed the brakes

. Now this was a bit of a pain i had not checked the easy bleed and the pipe that goes into the fluid reservoir of the easy bleed had fell off and i feared i may have pressurized the system and began bleeding with just air, after not seeing the fluid go down i checked and re attached the easy-bleed pipe and thoroughly bleed the system, furthest from the master cylinder in, and then the two on the abspump. When tried it the pedal was spongy as hell there must be so much air in there, it is now dark and i had to leave it,

I am certain i gave it a good bleeding until all the air bubbles had gone, i have done this a million times on my mk1 golf 16v conversion. The thing i think may have affected it are that i had the doors open most the day and when i went to start it it did not have enough power so maybe there was not enought power for the abs pump to do its thing while i was bleeding, and maybe i forced to much air into it when the easy bleed broke, and i hope at the end when i pressed the pedal i have not caused any damage.

 

I would like to give it a full bleed again assuming that there is air all in the system (master cylinder calipers etc) what is the procedure for bleeding a system that has air in it almost as if it had just been totally rebuilt??

 

any other thoughts why it is not working please let me know, i am pretty hopefully i have not ruined seals in the master cylinder so please bear this in mind!

 

on a corrado kick in the ass after starting the car to test the brakes the coolant hose split and spayed water all over the engine-!!??&%^&% ( glass of wine an bed )

 

 

thanks for any help, i will try again at the weekend with a set of new coolant hose's(were can i get good aftermaket hose's for the engine, full set??)

 

thanks
