Thanks for providing this video, I never bleeded the ABS before in all my cars. But you made it look easy. Thanks again.
Very well done - thank you! Followed everything to successfully bleed the brakes on my '12 JCW R56.
There are a few different brake bleeding routines in the NT 510 Elite. One of the routines steps you through the use of a pressure bleeder which is kind of redundant. Why does anyone need a diagnostic tool to instruct them on using a pressure bleeder ?
excellent just what i needed
You should invest a few dollars in a longer bleed tube and a soda bottle to capture all the old brake fluid so it doesn't make a mess and drip everywhere.
very helpfull videos sir, keep that good work!! i have a mcs r56 too
My Foxwell NT510 arrived today so I could bleed the ABS module too.
Just subscribed. Thanks for this. This is helpful.. I just ordered the the Foxwell scanner!
Question about bleeding the ABS, will the foxwell machine prompt you to bleed all 4 abs or just the back right and front right?
Its written everywhere else including in the Foxwell instructions that the brake system should be bled before starting the ABS pump bleed. ( I have the NT 510Elite and a 2005 MINI R53 ). Also, more interesting and confusing is the NT510Elite does not instruct us to keep the brake pedal engaged the whole time we are bleeding the ABS unit whereas, the NT630Elite requires the brake pedal to be engaged. What do you know about this ?
Hello the great video perfect job 👍👍👍from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋 Kai
Awesome instructional video! I don’t have power bleeder, can I still flush the ABS Use vacuum pump brake kit with Foxwell instead? If can, should I keep the reservoir cap unscrewed ? Thanks! :)
@
Just changed all my brake lines, need to bleed the brakes, can I do the old fashion way, with a helper on brake pedal and me bleeding caliper nipples? Do I have to use scan tool or brake pressure bleeder like yours? Thanks
Where it says diagnosis and service mine says diagnosis and control modules
Do you have a video on how to manual bleed the clutch on a R56?
Does it call for dot 4 from the factory or are you changing it to dot 4?
Confused. Do you have to do the ABS? I have the Foxwell, but that looked difficult. Most of the videos I have seen that just do a regular bleed.
i have the pressure bleeder and it wont build pressure above about 10 lbs. ive checked the rubber seal and it seems to be in place.
