sadly the 405 failed it's test  excessive pedal travel when braking. i must still have air in system, as car actually passed on the brake test. not a biggie. i've tidied my garage and now the 405 is out of the cold, and in there for the winter. meanwhile, my new project will keep me occupied ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

just a little update.after some research, i found that when i turn on the ignition, the abs pump should be heard working for a couple of seconds. the pump on my car made no sound at all  as i had a spare unit, i decided to swap it over. so now i have a working pump  just need to rebleed the system now ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

With abs and a dry system, I always found it helpful to cycle the abs on grass or gravel then bleed one last time.  always found a little bubble somewhere! ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

PESKY M/C !!! must of been internally leakinggenuine new m/c now fitted, and brakes bled (even ran car in gear on axle stands and dabbed brakes, just to make sure there wasn't a spongy pedal) turns out, i had bled brake system properly initially, but dodgy m/c gave the feeling there was still air in system. in for m.o.t this week, and am confident it will pass ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.
