Using Bleeder Unit







1. Unscrew the brake fluid reservoir filler cap.
- Using a length of hose, connect the container of brake fluid to the filler funnel (supplied with the brake system bleeder unit (16) 88 19 096) and strap the filler funnel to the brake fluid reservoir to-avoid the risk of emptying the reservoir.
2. Bleed the system by means of the bleeder unit, part No. (16) 88 19 096.
- Bleed the brake system in the following order:
RH front wheel
LH rear wheel
LH front wheel
RH rear wheel.
- When changing the brake fluid, the contents of the reservoir should first be removed by suction.
- The reservoir should then be filled with fresh brake fluid.
- The amount of fluid drained from each brake caliper should be as indicated in the figure above.
3. Switch on the ignition and check that the Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning lamp on the dashboard goes out (cars with ABS).
- Drive the car and test the brake system, braking normally and also braking with ABS if the car is so installed.
- Check the level of the brake fluid.
