I had the pleasure of bleeding the brakes on the Turbo this weekend..... Thought I'd pass on a few pointers/ tips for those of you planning on doing the same.
1. Always leave the pads in the calipers once you've connected the one man bleeding kit, if not you'll push the pistons out !
2. After you've bleed the brakes once, run the engine up and spin the back wheels so you get the ABS working - there's always a little bit of air trapped in the pump.
3. If by chance you round the edges off a bleed nipple on the front caliper - don't stress, simply remove the caliper and wriggle it around to get the air into the side with a working/ removal bleed nipple.
Good luck to any of you trying it !
