Subject: Re: How do you flush the ABS? by Fluff on 2009/8/4 18:40:38 Next instalment... and I'm in desperate need of some help/advice please guys. Right or wrong, I bled the m/cyl at those two connections on the m/cyl, including squirting fluid everywhere... no improvement! So the situation is, I have the Check Brake light on permanently, the DIC does it's normal start-up (turn the ignition on and it all lights up and then goes out), as soon as I fire the engine the ASR and ABS lights come back on the DIC and stay on. Brake pedal is rock hard, but if I press it whilst starting the engine it depresses slight (I always thought this to be an indication the the booster is working). On the road the pedal is still extremely hard and the brakes are nigh on non-existent. I can't even get them on hard enough to kick in the ABS (and I am standing on the pedal!). I've had a look through Andy's thread and the one it refers to on CF, but can't find a solution. CF at times is going back to needing this TechII in some posts. My best (which ain't good) guess, is either the booster is shot, but this seems to be a bit of a strange coincidence considering all I've done is bleed the system, or the proportioning valve in the m/cyl is seeing an imbalance and shuting off half the system, which the book seems to say it can do!? I'm stumped now and any parts have to come from the US to Euroland at exorbitant addition of shipping and a weeks delivery time, so I'd like to get it right if I need to order stuff. Any suggestions please? |
