Spongey Brake pedal, Pressure bleed (312mm)

Featured Replies

There's bleed nipples on the master cyclinder (2 iirc) and theres also a bleed nipple on top of the gearbox

I also believe if you have a lot of air in it you need to bleed the abs and this can only be done via vcds programming (thats off the top of my head)

He's done the abs with VCDS so I reckon it must be the master cylinder and gearbox need doing too

how do you get to the bleed nipples on the master cylinder? only way i can see is with removing the boost pipes due to its position in the engine bay?

The two bleed nipples on the master cylinder are accessed from under the right hand side (N/S) of the reservoir, so you have to remove the boost pipe.
