R26 Brake fluid bleeding

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by Matt-f1, May 22, 2015.

  1. Hi has anyone got a guide how to change the brake fluid or just a couple of tips!

    Cheers matt
     
  2. I always start furthest from the master cylinder working my way to the closest. Once in the front calipers I bleed the outside nipple and then the inside nipple. Keep bleeding until you've emptied you 1L bottle of fluid then you know there's a fresh litre in there. This might not be the perfect method but it's never failed me
     
  3. Ok mate cheers will attempt this when I've purchased the fluid! What would you recomend to buy I was looking at motul rbf 600 any good!?
     
  4. Is it just for road use? I use ATE superblue that I get from a trader on here. Think it's £15 a litre but mines only for road use so I don't know how it fairs up on track.
     

  5. It's fine on track, still has pretty good dry and wet characteristics for the price iirc. More than enough for the road.
     
  6. +1 for the ATE stuff. Fine on track. I ran CL RC5+ with it and no issues at all. Will be fine for what you're needing.
     
  7. I forgot to say they do a gold or brown coloured one of the same specs too so you can swap and change. Makes it easier to see when it's bled properly.
     
  8. I didn't know that ^^

    Clio needs doing too so I'll ask George if he can get me some when I pick megane brakes up.

    superblue is no longer made, its called TYP200 now
     
  10. Use rstuner or clip and the abs does the bleeding for you
     
  11. Euro car parts stock it too for around 15 quid
     
  12. How's that work?
     
  13. You have to activate the esp system or you will only change the part of the system which is in direct flow
