Brake fluid change

Recommended Posts

I always bleed the 2 nipples on the abs pump aswell

 

Hi, thanks- is this bled last after all the calipers? Can the ABS pump unit be flushed through/ bled without doing the whole system?

Activate the ABS several times before you do it and that should agitate any stale fluid / deposits that hang around in the ABS valves back into the system.

 

If you're doing a full workshop power bleed with the ignition on, you may not need to do that, but personally, I like to keep the ABS pump working and get fluid through it.

ok thanks, i have an issue with the left rear outlet valve on the pump. I've activated the ABS on a damp road and also had a brake fluid change a few months ago which didn't resolve this. Before i fork out to get the pump replaced i thought it may be possible the pump wasn't flushed/bled when the rest of the system was done. I'm a bit of a noob to all this so before talking to the garage i'd like to know if this is possible?
