Thank you for making this video! Can both bleeds be done with the required 1.5L? If not, can one use a cheaper auto parts store fluid for the 1st bleed before using high performance fluid? Thank you again!

I’m replacing the rear calipers , rotors and pads on mk5 gti. A quick question the new revision rotors are 282mm to avoid the rusty outside lip and my originals I pulled off were 286mm. Do I need a new 282mm caliper bracket or can I use the 286mm bracket ?

@texwan Жыл бұрын

when you bleed the abs, are you doing it with or without the pressure bleeder in/on? thanks

@nsoper19 4 жыл бұрын

It's not just a spongy brake pedal to be wary of. The moisture causes corrosion and will kill the brake calipers. Particularly common on the rear calipers since they are further from the reservoir. Happens quite commonly on Golfs.

Hello Michael Thanks for this helpful video. I have a question about how you put the car on 4 stands...do you have a video about how to do that? I have a Golf R MK6 and would like to perform this job but not sure how to put my car on 4 stands Thanks for your help

+MicksGarage1 That would be great thanks

@willywillywillywillywilly 7 жыл бұрын

Helder Borges Jack up the front on the reinforced part of the frame behind the front wheel. This will lift up the front and rear wheels. Put a jack stand under the curved jack support that's a little in and a little forward from that jack point. Put another jack stand on the rear jack point. Then repeat this on the other side of the car. Voila!

Can someone answer do I have to bleed the brakes when I am replacing the fluid with a different brand but it is still DOT 4? Like in the video I do not know what fluid was used

@gnosism 8 жыл бұрын

would you know capacities or bleed sequence for mk6 golf gti?

@TheTransporter100 8 жыл бұрын

It's the same but the capacities I'm not sure, The thing I can't quite understand Mick Is bleeding the ABS or bleeding the brakes with ABS assist.

When you are pressurizing the master cylinder are you not introducing air pressure into the system first and then pressurized new fluid?

@453421abcdefg12345 2 ай бұрын

NO if you have enough fluid in the bleeder recevoir only pressurised fluid is going in.

@DeadEyeH974 7 жыл бұрын

Hi, Is the ABS bleeding procedure with VCDS can be done with a 1man pressurised tool hooked to the reservoir? Thanks

@nomad_lad 2 жыл бұрын

Do you need to repressurize the pressure bleeder between calipers or does the 10psi hold long enough?

@hardcore4476 2 жыл бұрын

Make sure to pump and check each caliper. Keeping it at around 10 psi

is it the same bleeding order for LHD vehicles?

@Fractal_CZ 7 жыл бұрын

Well, that's a question. As you have RHD car, the front right wheel is actually closer to the main than the front left. Or is it the ABS module that comes in play? I really don't know.

@RichipaIdi 7 жыл бұрын

dr0pthehamm3r Great question. I would probably ask TheHumbleMechanic for that advice. It might be the same order because of the ABS pump. But it could also depend on the brake fluid reservoir, if so, the procedure could be different. Probably THM has a video in his channel.

Wrong use of diagnostic computer. He is using "output test" procedure to bleed brakes. Big mistake. "Output test" is used only to check brake functionality wheel per wheel. Bleed must be done via "basic settngs, brake system bleed".
