Did you fully drain the system? Have you bled the ABS unit?

I'd get in there with a pressure bleeder like good old Gunsons Easibleed - but keep the pressure down a bit.

I just got one for when I put my 312`s on... as apparently you should`nt use the conventional two-man pedal pumping method on certain VAG cars... plus I`ll probably do it on my own anyway.
Looks like a great bit of kit, can`t wait to use it.

Yes the instructions recommend less than 20psi is used, I`m going for more like 10psi I reckon.

I know its frowned upon, but on my leon we cracked off the nipple on the master cylinder a little and that solved everything.

Just be careful!
