So today I was going to ditch the CDV while changing the box oil however I abandoned the idea as I cannot see how the clutch can be bled afterwards. On the gearbox the flexi joins a plastic section that then goes in to part on top of the box. There is a bleed nipple with rubber cap on but it...

Hello all, So - having something of an unusual brake bleeding challenge, I've been unable to find anything similar as yet on the forum or via my old friend google. 96' Spider, with rear compensator (non-arm type) fitted. Essentially, I removed one of the brake lines from the rear compensator...

All, The saga continues. I’ve just had a third go at bleeding these bleeding brakes on my 2008 Brera. Still with no success. For the second time I’ve bleed the brakes, 4 wheels off, on stands. Bleed the 4 callipers and the junction box fixed to the bulkhead. Brakes good, plenty of resistance...

My Giulia has the black brake calipers which I'd like to get painted, either red or yellow, I'm still undesided, Misano blue with dark Quadrifogio alloys.? But my question is, can the brakes be bled in the conventional way or does the new brake by wire system prevent this? I've read that people...

All, Having recently put my Brera on 4 axle stands and bled the brakes, all looked fine until Thevwheelscwere back on and I’d lowered the car and started it up. I must have had an air lock in the system somewhere because applying the brakes the pedal went straight to the floor. Pump the pedal...

I've changed hoses, pads and discs, rear calipers, and am having trouble bleeding the brakes. They appear to have bled successfully, ie no air bubbles, all nice clean new fluid, pedal is rock hard without engine running. But as soon as I start the engine, the pedal goes soft, and eventually...

I all. My 147 is laid up with it's engine in bits. I was thinking that while it's up and waiting this might be a good time to strip the brake calibers and have them power coated. I'm hesitating because I'm not sure how to get them blead out after i re-fit them. Can anyone help?

Hi All, Well I successfully replaced the front discs and pads the other day and changed to Black Diamond Drilled & Grooved discs and matching predator pads. When I fitted the new pads, I wound the caliper pistons back in with a large G-clamp, whilst having the brake fluid reservoir cap off and...

Guys, the clutch on mine judders a fair bit, not helped by whichever mount is fooked, but the pedal has quite an erratic feel to it, sometimes it feels fine, but others it feels spongy and has a dead-spot / air lock at the bottom of the travel. But Friday, the pedal got stuck at the floor a...

The tip of it just sheared off as I was trying to bleed the brakes! I think its tight in and the brakes are firm and there is no visible fluid coming out of the nipple. Is there any way I can be sure its ok? I don't have the time to fix it as I HAVE to move house in less than a week and...

Hello all, Having a bit of clutch trouble and hoping you can help me - I've bled the clutch a few times now and it seems to manage to get some air in again and again. It's the typical thing - very light for first bit of pedal travel then you can feel the difference at some point on the way...

While replacing the air-con pipes in my 1999 1.8TS, I noticed that the clutch has what looks like a bleed point where the flexi pipe goes into the bell housing. Couldn,t find a way to open it to bleed the clutch as it seemed to be a single plastic moulding. Any hints or tips please? Cheers, Mark
