scenic 3 brake issue

[tamhay26]

Hi all i have a 2013 diesel scenic 3 i have replaced the rear calipers,discs & pads i have also replaced the front discs and pads when i was changing the rear calipers i used a hose clamp but the issue i have is i have no brakes.

so far i have:

had the epb in service mode
had the ignition on and off
brake fluid kept topped up
connected a clear tube to the bleed nipple
pumped the pedal for over an hour

but theres still air in the system and i cannot figure out why i have no leaks

do i need to bleed the abs module ?

or do i have another issue somewhere

These systems are usually best bled using a high end diagnostic tool and a pressure system. I'd consult an independant specialist or the dealership.

can you recommend a diagnostic tool to do it? i have a topdon 600 but it doesnt support abs on renault although it will do dpf regen lol.

i have ddt but no database for it and unable to find one

I'm afraid not, my Renault Experience has seen just an Espace, a Clio and a Fuego, all before the advent of these systems!!

What is ddt, apart from a now banned insecticide?

New discs and pads take quite a few miles to bed in so can be a part of your problem if the car is not stopping as well as before. Having once done front and backs at the same it scared me the first time I had to brake so since then have replaced front and back at different times. Last time I replaced a front brake caliper I ended up getting the dealer to bleed the air out using a diagnostic.
