starky5 18 Posted June 16, 2012 Hi, I have just spent hours trying to bleed my rear brakes and have finally got them working......ish! I think the compensator on one side is faulty as the drivers side bleeds like normal i.e. nice and easy to press the pedal, fluid came through easily and clean fluid turned up quickly. The passenger side however caused all sorts of problems, one i eventually got the brake fluid as far as the compensator i had to push the pedal very hard to get any fluid to pass through. Im guessing this means that this compensator is faulty and that the brake on this corner wont be doing much? Any opinions would be great before i go replacing the wrong side! haha Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnhenry 20 Posted June 17, 2012 unsure if faulty or not sorry might we worth checking if the compensators were correct for your car? remember reading the 1.6 and 1.9's had different 'models' - think they were different letters, would need to check.

marksorrento205 80 Posted June 17, 2012 The 1.6 and 1.9 are completely different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starky5 18 Posted June 17, 2012 I had a compensator cause issues like this on my 309, replaced with a good pair from Baz. Do i have to replace both sides? Im thinking due to the age of 205's second hand ones are a gamble and new ones are £45 each so if i can get away with just replacing one side i would be much happier! haha. Yea i saw the 1.6 is completely different with its drum brake set up and single line going to the rear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
