ok any one help me i have a track event in 2 days.....

ANYONE!


ok he is the scoop i bleed the system with super blue like i have in the past and this is nothing new to me did it in my BMW all the time... wife is in the car pump pump turn fluid out tight bleeder (i know they have speedbleeders) follow the bleeding pattern in the manual... no AIR in the lines pushed a full liter thru the system... did both sides of the calipers... new pads in everything is great...

NO PETAL.... start the car nothing.... same thing... it's like the ABS is not on or the pump is not on.... but there is no brake at all... the res is filled to the correct level and no leaking nothing... it's perfect... i just don't get it... i have never had this happen to me before

HELP ANYONE!!!!

PLEASE

 

My first guess would say check the resevior and make sure the master cylinder is full. Im going to assume you've done that however since during bleeding you have to keep it full and you are experienced with bmws. If that isn't the issue try bleeding the brakes by pumping the the brake as hard as possible about 5 times then HOLD it down to the floor and release the bleeder screw. If air bubbles are found by that method than re-bleed. Other than that im at a loss.

 

yeah i did that yesterday before i did the full bleed... i used some older fluid and that was all bad... i thought it was new stuff turns out it was about 6 months old and opened... so i had a NEW liter in my hands i figured bleed the whole thing... no problems topped off the res each and every nipple... never even ran half way out of fluid... i have NO idea.... what the deal is... forget the track crap i can't even move it out of my garage... LOL....

 

you have 4 piston calipers up front.

you need to do the inside nipples too.

 

I dont think you bleed the system like that, I believe it is bled VIA GRAVITY ONLY, You might have messed up a flapper using the pump you are talking about, call the mitshu tech in the AM and ask how to bleed the system. I am pretty sure it is a gravity bleed only. my 2c

 

I used this link

http://www.joe250.com/cars/evo/brakebleed.htm

he seemed to know everything... not much different than the BMW... just i have no idea why there is no petal... at all.. i mean it hits the floor before you feel anything and then all it does is a very tiny bit... more then 1 mile per hour and you will not stop...

i have bleed it EXECTLY like the diagram on the manual shows the link above has the diagram in it...

please keep um coming i'm trying everything under the sun i know...

so far..

Reset computer pulled battery.. nothing
re-bleed the nipples in order again no air fresh super blue.
plug the ABS fuse started car same thing replace fuse same thing no difference.

not sure what else to try but to call the dealer and say ahhhh dead evo... no brakes no brakes.... but they will try to hammer me on the i put super blue in and i ruined it not covered under warranty etc etc...

UG!!!

 

gravity bleeding? if you do that, you'll have paint peel all over i think.

You could use the pump, it's documented.

 

maybe your wife's weak, didn't push the pedal hard enough. you have to push it pretty hard.

 

did you let the reservior go dry by acciddent when you were bleeding it? If so, I think you might have to bleed your master cylinder too. You would need 2 people for this. one person hold down the pedal while the other crack open the brake line at the master and let the fluid out. there's 2 lines on the master, do one at a time. good luck!

 

well i would say that if she wasn't like working out... but she pumped a full liter thru the system for me... not to bad....but still doens't help me... any other ideas?

 

well i just bleed the MC and the wheels again... nothing .... i'm totally lost now...

 

you have to have the car running so the abs is activated!

 

doesn't matter.... soft while not on SUPER soft with it on... like there is no brake at all when running.... like the petal isn't attached to anything!

 

sorry i meant you have to bleed the brakes while the car is running. i've dont mine 2 times and another evom members once.

 

you have to bleed it WHILE the car is running.... that is a new one to me... no other car i have ever done that with.... not the M3 not the 330ci... not one of my BMW's.... or my old POS chevelle... i had... or my POS caviler... or the Impala...nothing...

is there something that states that? anywhere? cuz i'm not out of fluid LOL 2 liters thru the damn car i know it's all clean and good now... still almost no petal..
