Could this be my problem?

I wonder if that guy just needed to use the diagnostics tool to bleed out his ABS instead of buying a spare, like in the previous video I posted, he had the same problem that I had on the C5, a sinking pedal.

The ABS can probably only be bled using the original diagnostic unit (DIAGBOX) and the appropriate software with a proper VCI.
This is a complex procedure and requires all 4 brakes to be freely accessible for bleeding. The Diagbox precisely specifies the necessary bleeding steps and final bleeding points, which must be adhered to exactly.
Sometimes it is necessary to repeat the procedure.
In the absence of the correct diagnostic tool, there is a procedure that often works well.
Drive quickly on a gravel road (tarmac does not work) and apply the ABS by applying the brakes several times and then bleed the air again in the correct sequence - if possible with a professional bleeding device.
