    Porsche as bleeding the brake?

    As you vacuuming your Porsche calipers?
    I feel that I have the air not completely get out of my front Cayenne calipers.

    I deflate with a eezibleed. So with pressure.

    I also found that after a prolonged highway driving at a high speed has a poor braking action. Whether related to it?

    Did you flip the Cayenne calipers Left to Right and Right to Left so the bleeders point up?

          No, my calipers are fitted, as it should. Small piston down and bleed screws up

              Did you bleed whole system? Also on the Porsche calipers you have to bleed the inside first. Some people also lightly tap the caliper as they are bleeding them . Wether this helps I don't know.
              I would bleed the whole system again.

                I believe Alex looked into this and ended up bleeding the calipers with them detached from their mountings.
                This enabled him to manipulate them and free some trapped air bubbles

                  Then I'll again bleed the entire system.
                  So you should, if necessary, tap lightly from behind times with a rubber mallet against the caliper?

                    Don't forget the master cylinder when you're bleeding.

                    Bleeding my BoxsterS calipers was a royal pain in the derrière, took four times to get all the air out of the system.

                      The design of the caliper should get any air in the upper part at the bleed exit.

                        Should I vent to the pedal, so I can get the air even from the master Cylinder?

                          No.With your eezibleed procedure,master cylinder is bleeding by himself too.
                          No issues with old brake setup?

                            If you have poor brakes after cruising then the pistons are being pushed back into the caliper by the disc - disc has run-out or caliper and disc are not aligned properly. Probably dirty hub face or bad caliper bracket.
                            You should also bleed at least 500ml fluid out of each caliper and pump the pedal plenty to release small air bubbles.

                              As error said, plus freeplay in wheel bearings, brake pads not moving freely in the caliper also if the pads and discs aren't yet bedded in you can have a pedal that doesn't feel as good as it should.

                              Any work been carried out on the rears?
