I have the same problem that was described here. Although I cant see a bleed nipple anywhere near the brake fluid resevior or on the MBC - Can anyone helo ?

ANyone know where and IF the Master Brake Cyclinder has a bleed nipple ? 95/ODB-1

Can anyone tell me why during the ABS pump bleed procedure you need to have the car lifted off the ground. See below from VAGCOM site :- "Vehicle must on a lift or safe jack stands with no wheels touching the ground"

Hi. My local garage replaced this for me to try and fix a very stuborn sensor fault! - It seemed to work although I have a question about bleeding the pump - the garage didnt do this. Should this be done before or after bleeding the brakes at the callipers ? Or doesnt it not matter. Also, could someone confirm the order to bleed. I saw on a forums NSR, OSR, NSF, OSF - but my haynes manual tells me to start on Right Rear which I thought was OSR. Thanks in advance.

:-) Same problem 3 years later. And I must admit kit smacking the disk with the hammer was good fun - Thanks Shmuckbucket

How did you diagnose it ? Put the bearing on the axal and wiggle it about ?

>> Who fitted the new bearings? I did From memory I followed the haynes manual. I tightened the nut up just by hand and the washer could be moved a little with a srew driver. I then put the lockign cage and split pin in.... You think maybe its too loose ?

>> Has the wheel bearing play been adjusted correctly? I didnt think the bearings on the Vr6 could be adjusted ?

>> larger wheel hub size OK, I'm new to all this :-) Itsnt the wheel hub just the disc ? - I have just installed the new disk and bolted the wheel on - Even if it isnt this i'd like to understand it. Is there an easy way to check if its the bush or beary. Actually, when i first tried to get this car through the local Isle of Man it failed because of a "Wheel Bearing" - the bearnig has now been changed twice so I'm thinking its somthing else and this was the original problem

Hi - I have no idea about what they are. Can you explain ? Are you saying i should have some plastic thing which should be pushed into the disc where the wheel bolts on ? - It does feel like the play is caused by the nroad wheel not being bolted on properly although its proper tight.

After changing the rear disc's / pads and bearing i gave the wheel a rock and noticed there is a bit of play. It seems the play is on the road wheel itself and not the bearing (The disk doesnt move) Is this common ? - The wheel was put on by the prev owner, its a 205/40/17

I see that this conversation is for the front brakes. Anyone know what the differences are if I wanted to do the rear too ?

I'm in the Isle of Man, but I found the following page which has helped me get hold of the parts. from a FORD dealer :-) haha http://www.s2-audi.co.uk/tech_articles/brakes/brakes.htm

Does anyone know where I can get a caliper pin for the rear lucas calliper. I;ve snaped the head of the caliper pin bolt into the pin. Dealer ses it comes with the caliper mount which is 60 quid, which I feel a bit hard of paying for a new pin. Thks

Can anyone tell me where the pressure is on the Calliper. Is it on the Calliper (very difficult to remove) mounting bolts or the calliper pin bolts ? Which one should be tightened up the most ? (what is the torque for each)
