The last time I bleed my D2 with a power bleed I had 3 x 500ml bottles and used less than the 3 from memory (may have only used 2). Bleed the brakes normally before and after the power bleed.

Hi Pedro,
I just did mine the old way, removed the reservoir, drained it, cleaned it as best I could, filled it, and bled the brakes manually running plenty of fluid through and used less than 1.0 litre of fluid.
Regards,

George.

I thought around three

,,
can understand doing a manual bleed after,,

but before?

Just thought it best to start with as clean a fluid system as possible.

good point!
I might just try an old syringe,,

Are you changing the all of the fluid? I'm guessing you're doing it with software to get it all through the ABS/ETC block also.

Yes Slunnie,, the unplug the ABS relay and connect the dots to get the ABS to pump the fluid through,,

If nothing else--
3X500ml brake fluid containers, $36
2 wide male connectors, ? $2
5 metres of heavy twin core cable, $0, already have it

and you can quickly replace all the brake fluid in the vehicle,,

and theres always the chance it may fix your 3 amigoes problem
