Tom's China HDi DTurbo 2014

Large glass jar, drill a hole in the lid, use a small length of clear tube, position it right and you can bleed the brakes solo. Just ensure the pipe goes over as a loop before going into jar.

I was skeptical till I tried it last week...watched it as someone else pumped the pedal...and it worked a treat

Easier with a one way valve though. Each to their own tbh, I've tried arsing about with pipes in jars before and for the £4 this cost on trade it makes life so much easier!

Hmm, have you got the GTi brakes or still the 266s?

I bought this bleed kit to do it by myself and was really easy tbh, much easier than the Gunson pressure bleed kit that I tried before.

Oop's yeah standard 266's.

How does that work? I've got the Gunson one and I like it but the top has spilt. I've tried glueing it but it doesn't hold pressure.

Ah well that's confusing then, obviously not specific to the calipers, so must be something else. Servo or MC worn possibly? Not much else it can be tbh.

Its just a bottle with a one way valve at the end of the tube.

So put tube on nipple and open.
Jump in car and push pedal 2 or 3 times
Check fluid in clear pipe - fluid doesn't move due to one way valve.
If its clear tighten nipple as usual.

Barely took any time at all!
