New rear calipers fitted, system bled and finally a functional handbrake has returned But, as has been discussed many times on the forum before, bleeding seems to be an issue. I used a pressure bleeder and sent 250-300ml through each corner but still have a pedal which only firms up if pressed twice. Once firm though, all is good.
I know about operating the ABS module to cycle any trapped bubbles past the solenoids and down the brake line towards the caliper but, this seems to require vagcom. I don't have vagcom and even if I did, I don't think it is compatible with the 7a engine.
How would I go about getting the abs motor to run on my car to simulate the 11 second burst vagcom would create if I could plug it in?
I may try the classic two man bleed technique next as I've read that pressure bleeders on their own may not move the volume needed to dislodge bubbles, and to be fair - fluid didn't exactly flow out of the nipple when it was undone.
