    Brake Bleeding - sequence?

    In the not too distant future, I intend to replace my rear disks and pads,Brembo. While I'm at it I will also replace the brake fluid. Is the sequence for bleeding, rear offside, rear nearside, front offside and front nearside? I'm just going off the position of the abs not the cylinder. Thanks...

    Removing callipers and brake bleeding

    Morning all I have some outlandish black paint for my callipers which I plan to apply whilst I have the shocks out. To make my life easier I’d like to remove the callipers, (I have a brake pipe clamp to reduce air ingress). How easy is it to bleed the T6? Should I worry about air into the ABS -...

    I job I'd been wanting to do since I got the van a six months old. The brake calipers very quickly look tired on these Transporters, so I've started on the rear while the van is inside. I wanted to do a half decent job, so I removed the caliper, handbrake cable and actuater arm, but left the...

It made sense at the point of purchase, I assumed the ARB was higher up and had links down...

    I don't know if because it's a van with larger brakes, or if VW use a soft brake pad........or it's just cost cutting crap, but I've never known a vehicle that contaminates its wheels so quickly in brake dust.
