R plate Octavia hatchback - brakes

Featured Replies

Does anyone know how to bleed the brakes on this hatchback so that they work properly? This one has discs on the front and ABS. The handbrake is also a joke - any ideas? I've had it 'fixed' by two different repair garages and it's still useless!

Sorry, that should have read 'back' not 'front'!

Rear drums or discs?

You are aware that the Octy doesn't use a standard bleeding order?

The rear brakes are disc.

No, I didn't know about the non-standard bleed order! What is it?

There is a bleed nipple on the master cylinder (my garage was somewhat baffled by its presence!) - what is it for?

If your garage don't know how to bleed an Octy's brakes, use another garage!
