I'm trying to get my TSTE drivable, I haven't even driven mine yet, so the opportunity to do is really motivating me to get the car done. I installed new calipers, new lines, new pads, and new rotors all the way around. I am mechanically inclined and know what I am doing, however when I went to go bleed the brakes, the brake fluid is not coming out of the bleeding screws or even screw holes. I started at the rear passenger side, I even removed the bleeder screw and stepped on the brake and no fluid came out! I read the manual and searched this site and I cannot find anyone else who has had the same problem as I am having. I am using my Mity Vac to suck out the air and the junk in the lines and no fluid is coming out of the bleed screws. I am sure the problem is very simple and I am forgetting to do something very easy, but any help would be appreciated, thanks.
if there was a previous leak the proportional valve might be stuck one way, if your not getting fluid to the back, put a hose on one of the front bleeders , open bleeder and submerge in bottle of brake fluid, now try to pull fluid from the rear , that should even out the prop valve. i use a one man vaccuum bleeder, works great. good luck.
Are you using the method outlined here? http://www.kazmotorsports.com/tpsgarage/TGP/brakes/powermaster.htm
Yesterday I went and bled the front calipers then went to the back ones and sure enough there was was fluid in the back calipers, thanks for everyone's help! :icon_biggrin:
