Long time no post, as car has been pretty damn good. Anyway noticed brake flexis getting past their best, order and fit four new ones all easy to do, bleed them up also easy, road test first press long travel second press back to normal. So rebleed still the same, wife reckons they are okay...

After having some problems at Santa Pod yesterday where my trap speeds were not as high as I would have liked and slowed as the day wore on I thought I would just check that having had the supercharger and heads off recently I would check that the system was bleed correctly. Now I think I...

I have rear SLS. I have just changed the spheres and fluid. I had heard the SLS is self bleeding and if so, how long does it take? I ran the engine for about a minute and bounced up and down in the rear but it is still low at the back. If it isn't self bleeding, how do you do it? thanks

Long story short I've managed to disable my van! I was changing glow plugs and one snapped. So after all my cursing and removing much more then I needed to I finally got the bottom of the glow plug out. But in my ignorance I took off a fuel hose and let air in to the system. So after more...

Hi all. I need some help/advise please. How do I bleed the ABC system to ensure it is free from air bubbles etc Thanks in advance Matt.

I'm replacing a brake line on my 1989 S-Class so need to know what size the bleed nipples(valves) on the callipers are so I can buy the correct size ring spanner.(none of mine fit!) Is there a special brake bleeding spanner I can buy to fit the valves perfectly? If so what size? Many thanks...

can anyone with knowledge tell me if there is a different procedure to bleed a clutch on a semi auto rather than a auto or manual as this is what the garage is tellin me now

This was the first time I had ever tried to bleed the brakes or renew the brake fluid. It did not go well. I was using a hand-held vacuum pump and MB's own fluid (DOT4 Plus which I think is also classified as DOT5.1). I was carrying out the work at PitStart because I don't have a drive and...

hi me again :S finally gone and changed the pads on the clk230 all seems fine but the brake pedal seems to be too spongey :S i did have to undo the bleed nipple on the caliper on both fronts just to get the new pads in as i could not push the cylinder back in!! ( i did have the brake fulid...

Hi, I have a RHD w124 and I'm going to tackle the servicing myself just because I like getting my hands dirty, and I'm budget :) I've got the Haynes and Brooklands manuals, and they state the bleeding sequence as: a) Right hand rear, b) Left hand rear, c) Right hand front, d) Left hand...

Hi all, Had to fit a new calliper and piping to the front offside on my C250D so have bled all four corners with an Ezie bleed system. Brakes are still a bit spongy but peddle doesnt drift down beyond the spongyness so looks as though there maybe air still trapped. A buddy came over...

Replaced the pipes from master cylinder to ABS unit yesterday, have bled the system (twice) today but the pedal is still spongy. I am assuming that there is air in the ABS unit, is there a particular procedure I need to follow to bleed this (bleed with engine running??)? I have a pressure...

Hi folks, Had a sticking caliper which looked to be very crudded up pad pins, and possibly the tin retainer thing battered by a prev owner's attempt to repalce seals. Pistons and calipers were perfect. Flexi line clamped, clingfilm over the reservoir. Cleaned it all up and reassembled. So I...

I've just put a new master cylinder on my 96 124 Estate and I cant seem to get the air out of the system:mad: I've been told it'll be in the ABS unit and there is a way to do it,does any one know it:confused: Cheers Phil

Ello newbeeeee here With a quick question dropped the engine oil and changed the engine oil filter today going to do a diesel fuel filter change tomorrow, but how do I bleed the diesel system afterwards??? Also think I might have a air leak in the system – if I park the car on my drive...

Hi, Can some one please advise me on the following: Car : W202 1999 C230k With ABS When bleeding the brakes, is it the normal case of bleeding at the calipers or does is there any additional procedure for the ABS unit ? If so, can someone please advise me of the details ? Many Thanks

Hi All, Just replaced my rear brake pads on my 2001 C240 tonight. Noticed that OSR bleed nipple leaking fluid, seeping very slightly. (before the replacement operation started). Tried to tighten bleed nipple, used deep socket, but corners of hex rounded off. Rust. Will order new bleed nipples...

As many of you will know - have had problems ( now fixed ) with the duovalve - just had to have the water pump replaced - now also fine - EXCEPT - cant get any heat from the heater - obviously an air blockage - tried squeezing the pipes - drove it around 400 mls yesterday - still no water in...

Planning to bleed the brakes on both my W202 (one is 1995 and the other is 1998), but cannot find any reference in the Hayes Manual or online for the correct spanner size. Any ideas? Also any ideas how much brake fluid I need to buy from Stealer per car? Thanks
