Hi,
Right e63 W212, I have had my callipers off to be powder coated and I blocked the brake lines.
However over the week I've been away at work one of the blanks has come out and the entire system has been bled dry.
So I fitted callipers and filled with fluid, I then set about bleeding them in the old usual way one person pushes the pedal the other operated the bleed nipple.
After doing this I couldn't get any pressure in the rear callipers, pistons haven't budged, and the pedle doesn't push down any fluid out the rears.
Fronts have bled up fine, I then tried an pressure bleeder..
So fluid coming out of all 4 corners steady stream, yet the rear callipers will not work, it's as though there's something on the brake pedal stopping it.
It's half way solid and even removing the nipple completely achieves no fluid motion with the brake pedal at the rear.
Pressure bleeder, fluid.. Manual nope.
So I'm stuck, anyone shed some light? Do I need a mb star?
I'm seriously confused on how it's not working as I recently flushed the fluid out before a track day using the old method and I got fluid movement.
It's definitely something related to the system being dry.
