Hi all, good evening.
I don't no if to start a new or carry on with this subject.
So il stay on this one, if you think I should start a new, please just say.
So any ways...
You no my car ..year..& it problem.
To recap.
Brake pipe to the back burst.
Part was cut out & repaired.
It burst whilst driving the car, so master cylinder went dry.
We put dot4 in the master cylinder.
Tried to bleed it 2weeks ago il say, but was getting no were.
I brought a pressure bleeder (same as above #.?)
Tried this .. pressure'd between 15 - 20psi.
Got fluid out of all caliper nipple's (in turn & in sequence,),very little air bubbles.
Brake pedal is none existent.
Tried to bleed for few hours... No.
So I got a foxwell nt630 plus, which is meant to be able to abs bleed, as I read all over the internet that some folk have been successful.
So today, connected my pressure bleeder, got the car ready to bleed.
Plugged in the nt630 plus, & guess what...nothing, it don't read or see a abs bleed program.
So, next we took car on a gravel / grass carpark road (about 2minutes max away) & hit the brake pedal hard to activate the abs (so the pedal hits your foot), did this about 4 times, then re-bleed the caliper nipple's again.
What I did notice was the back brake discs (both sides , including the front both sides) was hot. Hot that you won't touch it again if you get me.
That tells me that the brakes back & front are working.
But why is the pedal basically none existent.?
A guy with a diagnostic unit.. snap on... what model snap on I don't no, but I thought yes... & this guy owns his own car repair garage & works on different cars. He said that his snap on don't see any abs bleed function.
But did say that there's air in the abs unit.
The car is 11 year old. I no that problems on cars can be slightly different & slightly different fix.
But surely this can't be a 1 in a million.
Any of you folk had this is the past or can say of a fix.. please say yes.
Next when I can get down to the car, we going to reverse bleed. I got a Sealy syringe / pump thing, so we going to put a tight fit pipe on the caliper nipple (open), then il say force dot4 back to the abs unit & not from the master cylinder to abs unit.
On the abs unit there is letters.
Do you no which pipes are to the rear, or even which wheel.?
Il reply with a photo of my abs unit & the Sealy syringe / pump thing in a few moments.
Thanks all. This is being a pain in the ****, & is giving a few people with a number of years experience a headache.
Thanks again. Any help is appreciated.
