I'm just going to poke some weird question in here as well - I was reading on one of the UK forums about bleeding problems in MK4's and someone said about bleeding the ABS system through VCDS? Most of the stuff on UK forums I take with a pinch of salt, but this got me thinking and was wondering if it might (even slightly) improve my braking performance after changing to the Porsche set up. It just confused me - is it even possible?

I reckon that refers to running the ABS pump to fill it with fluid if it is new or is thought to be dry.

Id be lucky to lose an egg cupfull of fluid removing all 4 even, but that trick i cannot take out of the vault im afraid its just one of those ones , gained from the guru who taught me and i use it every time and seriously i remove a flexi and get as much as a drip but respect the need to keep it. Ok anyway for those losing fluid or clamping pipes and the likes like the abs pump you do have to use VCDS on Mk4 Mk5 and 6, and this gets bled with 2 nipples open at a time and you go through buckets of fluid but has to be done to follow the procedure correctly, but changing fluid service fashion doesnt need this so dont make things harder than they are. Ill post up the "2" procedures later on got xmas stuff on.
Stay tuned for that

O.K. Jimmy me will wait to see the next episode as I'm thinking of changing to braided lines.
Had no probs when I changed the calipers but the lines will be different, will a power bleeder help me.

While on here about brakes, whats the best lastest on braided lines & 2 piece 312 x 25mm rotors.
I'm not real happy with the Racingbrake rotor @ the moment, they work great & cool, but after less than 10,000km's
they have some probs, Racingbrake have offered half $'s replacement on the ring, but. but. but, me ain't too sure.

Has that cracked through?
