paceo 22 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 just fitted my bigger brake conversion to my golf vr6, then we came to bleeding the brakes. the drivers side bleeds fine and you get a nice flow of brake fluid. the passenger side when pumped releases no fluid from the caliper nipple. we have blown the rubber brake hose through and through the caliper, all is clear.now we tryed to bleed the ABS unit, the nipple closest to bulkhead bleeds fine, the nipple closest to the exhaust manifold no brake fluid comes out of it. so we tryed to bleed the nipple on the master cylinder and no fluid comes out of it when pumped.we have come to the conclusion the master cylinder is blocked, there was a lot of gunk in the brake resivoir like mayonaise thickness but wouldnt this go through the system usually when pumped? any other ideas? ^o) Link to post Share on other sites
Nero Mk 2 8 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 you possibly need to have the abs pump bled via vagcom/modus Link to post Share on other sites

paceo 22 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 just wondering why is vag com needed, its a mare compared to bleeding my fiesta rs turbo!we pumped the brake pedal for ages and fluid only comes from the drivers side nipple! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 vag-com cycles the ABS pump / valves... I think they are usually closed usually, so if your just using the peddle then it probably wont work follow the bleed prodedure from the bentley manual Link to post Share on other sites
