This will trigger the ABS pump to turn on for about 10 seconds. Procedure for Bleeding the ABS Brake Pump on VW Golf, GTI, Jetta, and Audi TT: Ignition should be in the "On" position.Vehicle must on a lift or safe jack stands with no wheels touching the ground. There are certain test conditions that must be met before doing this procedure: Also, this procedure does not take the place of good ol' fashioned brake bleeding with one person operating the pedal while the other person opens the bleeder valves one by one and collects the discharged fluid. For normal brake work including fluid replacement, hose replacement, pad replacement, etc. This procedure is NOT necessary unless your ABS pump has gone completely dry.

This procedure details how to bleed the ABS pump when replacing brake fluid.
Showed me that the was a little very old fluid left. When I opened the rear bleeder screw it changed from blue to yellow back to blue, and then after a while my new yellow fluid came through. I guess the previous owner did change the fluid, it had blue fluid in it.
Had bought 1,5 liters.īrakes seem the same as before, am happy with that as I was happy with the brakes from the get-go! Makes it easier for laymen like me.Ĥ: The bleeder hose supplied by motive is very short and very stiff, I will be looking for an alternative.ĥ: Used just more than 1 liter of fluid till I was happy with the color.

Appreciate your expert advice!ġ: Gravity bleeding the clutch did not work for me, I had to pump the clutch (Press down, pull back up)Ģ: I used the motive bleeder, used about 5 psi to speed up the process.ģ: The motive bleeder is a great system to keep the reservoir full while bleeding. I followed your instructions this morning to replace the fluid in the brakes. You also excercise all the ABS components that may not get worked under normal driving, and pushes any old fluid out of the ABS pump and valves into the system to get pushed through. This gets all the fluid flushed out of not only the service brakes but the ABS as well. This is the procedure I use for PM fluid flushing, NOT for bleeding for a new component install. Then after it is all together, as I drive out of the shop, I do the sequence once more. Then open all the bleeders again, with the cap off, draw that last bit of fluid through. Then use the VCDS again, and go into Group 001, and then pump the brake pedal about 10 times. Top the reservoir again, replace the cap. I then do the gravity bleed bit some more, maybe another 5 minutes or so. You only need pause for about 1 second during each mode. I first do the, while sitting in the driver's seat, and go through and do exactly as it says, depressing and releasing the brake pedal. Then I grab the laptop, and access the ABS controller. Once I get the fluid through, and I see a clearly different color fluid at all 4 corners, I close the bleeders, top the reservoir up, and put the cap back in place. You do not want to let the reservoir go empty! This is a good time to do some other services while you slowly add fluid. I have an air-powered brake bleeder device that can speed this process up, but I generally only use that for pulling fluid through a system that has been dry (such as after a master cylinder or ABS pump module replacement). I like to use the Ate blue and yellow fluids alternately for the color change so I know it has been drawn through. Then I open all 4 bleeders, leave the reservoir cap off, and let it gravity bleed about. Remove the fill cap, and remove the filter screen and clean it thoroughly. And you need a scan tool such as VCDS to do that. If you do not run the ABS pump, you are not flushing the entire system.
