I just added this to my cart. I recently installed a Crown Big Brake Kit on my Jeep JKU. I used the help of my daughter on the two person bleeding method. I would imagine that I would have a better pedal feel after using this Motive unit. Thanks man. Good work.

Great video, honest, no BS. As a retired engineer I look after about 20-30 cars / trucks regularly and various others as people knock on my door and request help. Audi / VW are always the most fussy when it comes to this procedure I find. My brother has an 2015 A6 (C7 platform) 3.0ltr Allroad model. You are right about the ABS valve by the way! to get this right it should be opened and I don't have the kit to operate that valve. In the end he took it to an agent for a complete fluid change as I was not confident tha I could remove all the old fluid (and air) from the system. I do have a power bleeder pretty much like yours and the observations I make on what I see here are: 1. Definitely change to quick release fitting, really worth it 2. I have a separate relief valve that I can open to release pressure, you can fit one say from an old compressor or even from a garden sprayer canister, very easy and again worth it. 3. I did a mod to connect a Schrader valve (tyre valve) and hose to connect to a old tyre with the pressure dropped to about 12 / 15 psi. There is enough in the tyre to keep the container at a constant pressure so you don't have to keep checking it. I have some thoughts on what was going on when you were bleeding the first rear calliper, when the fluid flow was slow and you commented that you felt the bleed screw was almost out. I agree it was slow, what was the pressure at this point? Perhaps it was low maybe? More likely I thought it could be debris restricting the flow at the base of the bleed screw or just inside the calliper at the exit hole potentially, particularly as there was some significant chunks of debris that came out and you have to ask what that was. It was not just dirty fluid or rust (the calliper is alloy and the brake lines these days are pretty rust resistant) could it be part of a degraded rubber component? When you cracked open the front calliper about a quarter of a turn the fluid flowed immediately and free, just how I| would expect. I also have for many years felt that the bleed screws are actually a weak link in the process of bleeding (on any make). I'll try to explain. The threads are not a good fit in the calliper, not what you would call a close tolerance fit for sure, crack one off and see how you can wiggle the damn thing in the hole! This gives the potential for fluid to pass the threads which is not good and they are not as large in diameter as they used to be nor are they a fine thread either most are metric standard (coarse) pitches. In the UK we generally had 3/8th UNF threaded fittings including bleed screws, they had 7/16th AF hex and were more substantial. Some of the new ones look like they will break if you have to use reasonable force to undo, especially those that have a reduced diameter between the thread and the hexagon. I've subscribed to your channel, I thought it was well filmed, clear and straightforward, thank you from a retired Brit who can't put the tools away and put his feet up.

I like how you said you probably going to glue a magnet to the catcher bottle… I click on the Amazon link and the bottle has a magnet 🧲 on it. Awesome info, thank you!!!

Great Job Travis! I have a simpler version of that kit (no gauge) but have never used it yet, now I know how!

Depending on your year. The Audi service manual advises 29 psi to flush the entire system including the abs pump. Also you start at the closest caliper first according to Audi.

I have had that Motive bleeder for 10+ years and it's awesome!!

Great video

Amazing

Sometimes like newer GM you need to put a scanner on the car to open the valves on the computer. My dad’s avalanche would not bleed correctly my buddy brought his Snapon scanner and open the valves and it was no problem after that no more soft pedal

amazing video so clear, i don't suppose you would consider completing a pressure bleed. I followed a few other tutorials, but the pedals were so spongy lol MK3 TT

Maaan. That Motive looks like a life saver. Hell of an idea. I do the two person method all the time and I’d prefer to do this Motive method. I like the fact you can actually stay at each caliper and monitor the bubbles and what that fluid looks like. Hell of a find Trav. What took you so long to get one son lol. Good video man

Audi Brake System service manual says that for bleeding C8 cars (A6 2019+ and A7 2018+) a preasure of 2 Bar (30PSI) is needed. Mainly it is for bleed ABS unit. So if you have air in the ABS unit then preasure of 1 Bar (15PSI) is not enought to bleed ABS. Also in the service manual there is nothing about car has to have 4 wheels up. First, manual procedure says that you can do it one by one wheel up and only when you plan to use another procedure which involves Vehicle Diagnostic Tester for support bleeding there is need to have 2 front or 2 rear wheels off the ground - depending which axle you bleed.

Great job!! Need to get this for my cars (chevy avy, audi a7, and porsche 911) to do and save some money as a DIYer. Would you suggest jus the basic kit with the car adapters and additional drain bottle?

On any newer VW or Audi with Electronic parking brakes. You have to go into VCDS or OBDeleven I don’t know if HP tuners does it or not to set it to service mode to release the rear brakes.

Did you sell the rs7? If so why?

Wonder if it would add air to my wife’s brakes... so she stops whining! 🤫🤣😂

Sure Miss your channel, but everytime I check it out its this Volkswagen. Not interested in VW's.

Hi! Do you know if I can do the same on Audi A6 C7 year 2017 ? Does need a diagnostic tool aswell or I can go just like you did? Thank you!

Use compressed air to clean the bleeder when you are done with it, also grease the base of the bleeder it will help to keep the rust off... If you decide to open the bleeder again, clean it first with break clean before opening it....
