milk_churn 0 Posted July 18, 2008 After replacing all of my brake lines bar the compensators, and filling the system last night ready for bleeding, I couldn’t get any fluid to the left rear calliper. So I disconnected the pipe from the outlet on the compensator, and I’m only getting a trickle of fluid out of it, where as I’ve definitely got full pressure going in. Can the compensator be freed up at all or does this mean its FUBAR’d? I really don’t want to be spending a rip off £40 on a new one, which is the cheapest I’ve found so far with VAT. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems a trifle expensive for such a small part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) that's not a bad price, its £70 for one on my 405. AFAIK you can't dismantle them, and if its a pre December 88 car you have to replace both as early ones differ from later and you cant get the early type.

DamirGTI 342 Posted July 18, 2008 Try pumping the brakes more rapidly .. and a few more times then usual .. for bleeding the rear brakes you need to build up higher pressure in the system , for the brake fluid to fill up the compenstors completely and pass from them further to the calipers .. Oh and check the rubber flexi pipes one each side (if they're still old ..) as they can plug up .. Rgs ! Damir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
