Re: Bleeding ABS/replacing pad tips



I've had the pads replaced. Things are spongy. The guy who did it
is a Bosch engineer, but I'm beginning to doubt his expertise. So
I'm gonna do it myself (good God, now I'm gonna screw things up!!!).
I don't have a Bentley, only a Haynes and they're pro-VW/Audi-agent
people (ie. if problem too technical for print, please take car to
the VW/Audi dealer. And there is not way in hell (where I live) that
I'm going to do that....again). So no detailed info on bleeding the
system on cars equipped with ABS.

Another note, the ABS has 2 faulty sensors so it is not working
right now, but I need to bleed this thing as my brakes are getting
spongier and spongier. Not a great idea to have soft brakes (dead
bomb or not) in a slush-box equipped motor. One of these days all
hell (where I live) is going to "brake" loose.

So could someone post the what Bentley have to say on this?

PS: anyone got the web address for Bentley?
