Brake bleeding order

[Niall]

Anyone? I've fitted my gti6 brakes today and having trouble with them. What is the bleeding order on a 306 with 4 wheel abs?

[Daniel306]

Normally with any car its closest to the Mc and work away

[Connor]

Furthest away from master cylinder, so N/S/R, O/S/R, N/S/F, O/S/F

[Connor]

O.o

[Niall]

This is how the Haynes says to do it but who believes that!
Connor I did it in that order. Will retry in the morning.

[Connor]

Wtf seriously? Ive always been tought/told furthest away from the MC

[Niall]

I thought it could be different as the ph3s have the abs pump and iirc there is a one way valve in there.

[Daniel306]

iv always done it closest first and have never had any problems so far

[Jonny b]

haynes says try both ways ha ha

[Ian]

When I fitted my brembos I done furthest away then worked closer. No problem at all.

I was taught on my machanics course at college (agree with connor on this one) ALWAYS furthest first

[Grant]

But its not a pump, remember Niall

Same shit.....

[Tom]

Did you get it done?

[4WayDiablo]

Also kris b says furthest first

[Niall]

Yep it's all bled now. Still having problems due to the f*cked pads I was supplied with. Will have to go and buy some more on payday.

[4WayDiablo]

Buy my brembo's they have gooood pads :-)

[Niall]

Buy my brembo's they have gooood pads :-)

Nope. I would only be buying them for how they look. Also don't want to have to space the front wheels

[4WayDiablo]

For how they look what about the awesome stopping power :-P
Oh yeah 1.8's cant go fast enough to need the stopping power :-P

Furthest from MC I was taught, always done it and no probs . Niall how many miles since the last bleed, might be worth another quick one now the systems settled again

Probs about 250.
It needs new pads. One of them is so f*cked its not even making complete contact with the disc. There's still some surface rust there lol

[Ian]

These the front pads Niall?

[Niall]

Unfortunately so. You must of done some hard driving as they have been over heated at some point haha. Will wack some new pads in soon.

[Ian]

PM'd you buddy

To me at that mileage, i'd have the car on the ramp and give it 1 quick bleed on all 4 calipers for piece of mind . Then in your case I'd change the pads..so new pads and with freshly bleed brakes..

[Niall]

Tbh I don't think there is air in there. I did have problems at first with that but it's all sorted now. Pedal feels good, just doesn't brake as well as it should haha

[devils_fuel]

what the car or the front brakes don't feel like they should? would you need to change the MC because of the calipers ?

[Niall]

Brakes didn't feel right. I did chance the MC as well. All fine now though except the pads.
