OBD11 Pro help - Activating ABS pump?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I have had my brakes bled on my Superb 2018 mk3 280 by two different garages (dealer and then independent) as ever since I've had the car the brake pedal has always felt soft in comparison to my last car (MK3 Skoda Octavia VRS)

From what I remember reading, the ABS pump can be activated to either get rid of trapped air or old fluid because simply bleeding the regular way or via a pressure bleeder wont touch the fluid in the ABS pump (although I cant remember where I saw it now!)

The thing I can't seem to work out is how to do this on OBD11 Pro. I can access a brake bleed cycle (Brakes - Basic settings - Bleed cycle) but this hasnt really helped.

All the how to's I can find online are for other vehicles or with VCDS where things are labelled slightly differently. Can anyone tell me where in the app I need to go?

Thanks,

Doug

These are the options:

To answer your question, the 'Fill/bleed brake system' option brings up the below option. I'm not sure what any of the options mean...
