agb1980 10 Posted January 15, 2014 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 15, 2014 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.

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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
