Can anyone confirm one way or another what the material used to make the actual pistons in the LCR Brembos is? The guy who is servicing mine for me says that he can't believe how light the callipers are compared to the Alcons that he normally does, and the pistons are apparently even more...

I've been doing quite a bit or research into this and have come across a few set ups. This one looks good and could be done in Britian, with different products. http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm Cheap and easy, just how we like it:)

Quite pleased with myself - fitted the Audi TT brakes i bought last week for £130. :D Quite easy to do. Had a big problem removing the retaining screw for one of the old discs. Took me over an hour to get it out after stripping the Philips head. [:@] I used a hose clamp to prevent any...

Anyone ever had to bleed the abs pump when the system has run dry, i know you use VAGcom but some say open bleed nipples and do it again, im sure you would just activate the pump then do the normal method? as its purged the pump of air?

Have used the Gunsons bleeder on my previous cars no problem but with the LCR up in the air I couldn't get any fluid out of the rear calipers??? :confused: I had 12psi on the bleeder. Question is. Do you need the ignition on or engine running to do the rears? I did a small pedal...

ok ive searched and read numerous threads with no definite answer basically i have replaced a front brake line and would like to know the vag bleeding sequence is it start furthest away and work closer to the mc or is it start closest to the mc then diagonally opposite ??? also does the...

hello everyone, i went ahead yesterday and changed the brake fluid on my leon, and it was a mission! any ways now my brakes seem to be on all the time even if im not touching the pedal. i can drive it but the brakes are partially clamped. very frustrated, what do i do?

Can anyone tell me how to bleed a clutch on a 130 FR? I am told by my mechanic mate that mine needs bleeding. :) Cheers Rob

I have done a search and have found this: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=99913&highlight=bleed+clutch The only question that i have still unanswered is do i need the engine running or have the brakes on to prevent air entering the brake lines? Also do i need to have the...

right im looking for a bit of advice... il explain the story briefly as it is fairly long.... friday took my rear axle off to change the rear bushes, clamped rear flexi hoses both sides. saturday fitted bushes into axle and re-fitted back axle, before refitting the axle had noticed thaton...

I change my coolant today on the leon as it was looking a bit sorry for itself and with winter coming cant go wrong. It only took about 3L where I thought it was about 5l, maybe some stayed trapped in the system? Anyway am I correct in saying that the system is self bleeding? Elsawin says run...

anyone carried this out on vagcom??? does it work ??details are on the rosstech site!!

hi all Are there any points in the cooling system where i can bleed air from? My haynes manual doesn't mention a thing about it Cheers

Morning Gents, Can I just confirm as with most cars it's: Rear nearside Rear Offside Front nearside Front Offside Also I've not got an Eezibleed. Was going to buy one but I was sure that so long as the brake pedal isn't fully depressed when bleeding there should be no problem rolling...
