bleeding brakes

Post by deian »

i finally got round to doing them today, i did the front left and it started raining, so i will do the rest tomorrow, i assume if there was air in the system and it came out (even a tiny bit) from the front left it would help? maybe it's just me thinking but the car seems better? what do u guys think, am i just thinking it?

thanks

You can allways tell if you have air in the braking system on any hydraulic Citroen, as you will get a delay in braking.

The delay is only for a split second, but it fells like forever!! especially when getting near a junction.

When bleeding, start at any caliper and work round the car, the beauty of the Citroen is none of the front left then rear right crap, just get on and bleed away, but dont forget to put the suspension on max height to bleed the rears.

You say it rained when you was about to do the job!! Whats rain???? been lovely here for about 5 x weeks now.

Regards
