Brake Fluid

[Mondeo]

TB, Got the AP DOT 5.1 already S$12.00/L, this is also for ABS cars. Do U have the tools and tube for changing the fluid?

[Turbobrick]

Tools have, no problem. If U want to do then help me do my brick also lah

[Mondeo]

must be 2 persons do the job, but think of need to take out the wheels (x4) , and at least 1hr job man... or pass to w/s to change!

[Turbobrick]

Two man job but no need to remove wheels lah, I got ramps that U can drive up on then can reach the bleeder screws to start bleeding the fluid

[Mondeo]

OK then.

[Sky8807]

Read somewhere that bleeding should start from front driver side followed by front left side, then rear right and finally rear left.

 

My 2c worth.

[Turbobrick]

I tot it's the corner furthest away from the master pump (passenger rear wheel for my brick) then closest to master pump last one to bleed.

[Sky8807]

If there is air in the one nearest the pump and you bleed the furthest first and then proceed nearer, there is a chance that the trap air may flow back toward the bleeded parts.

 

If you bleed the one nearest the pump and reservoir first then works further away then the chances of air trap is non existance.

 

Just like topping up the tank and letting it flow from the source to the extreme end.

[Turbobrick]

Sounds logical, I'll dig up my paperwork on the bleeding sequence

[Mondeo]

Tks fr tip mate!

Hi! there, TB,

 

Bleeding for the brakes is the furthest from the master pump first, as the air bubbles would have compress to the ends of the other nipples by then. Call me if your're going to do it, as I need to do mine too.

Hi Paul,

we're thinking on tomorrow night-Thur (interested??), but must check with TB whether his carpark has bright enough!

[Pauly75ts]

Hi! there, Mondeo,

How come you didn't change the fluid when you change the hoses?

[Mondeo]

Original say yes to change it, but at end he did not, I think he dun have the stocks or he was hurry for other car.

[Madarmour]

Must kick his ass! Make you waste time and money!

[Mondeo]

He didn't charge me of any fluide, he just top-up only. But he claimed that DOT 4 should be enough already.

[Madarmour]

Of course he claimed should be enough! Don't have stock sure say enough what! If he has stock, I'm sure he will will change story and try to push it to you saying that - upgrade hoses must upgrade fluid too!
