i have just replaced the front n/s caliper due to nipple breaking off, bled all corners in the correct sequence. i cannot get rid of the spongy pedal. its had 1 & half litres of fluid through it. any idea`s please.  :-?

Are you pressure bleeding or using the pedal to bleed?

[The Red Baron]

did it manual to start with, then went & got eezibleed & did it with that.

Are the pipes, niples ect. all tight not leaking anywere?

[The Red Baron]

all sorted now folks, was stubborn air in the system.

Well done, can be a pig sometimes

I've been told bleeding with the engine on can help get rid of air.

Not convinced myself though.

fav is to have abs activated via computer while you bleed if needs be.

used eezibleed with engine running & gave a few good pumps on the pedal, that shoved the last bit of air out.

Yeah, had the same issue myself. There could not have been any more air in there, I was sure!

After exhausting all other possibilities i re-did the bleeding - guess what? Yep, more air in the system!

well done johnty sort the bleeders out mate?

[Jimbob]

I think once the ABS unit gets air in, can be a bugger to shift
