NT 510 should have both steps one is for abs block one is for pump.

34 00 050 Bleeding brake system with DSC.pdf

Pdf of bleeding procedure. I just realized that's for e70 but most should be the same.

BMW calls for pressing the brake pedal during the process but supplies fresh fluid though a pressure bleeder I wouldn't consider another option. Vacuum can create bubbles.

Thanks Andrew!

The pdf didn’t load - mine has a brake bleed procedure option and a brake line mix up option. I’m running the latest firmware

Hero thanks mate, may be a silly question but rear right means if you’re sitting in the car, looking forward right? Should I swap this to rear left for a RHD vehicle this is the calliper furthest from master cylinder

Best to pull TIS for your model car. Depending how they run the lines for RHD it might still be right rear first.

RHD & LHD should make it clear which side is left and right.

I'm planning to change my brake fluid soon and will have to run the procedure to clear the abs block. I'll look in foxwell for the options and share what I find.

Thanks mate - definitely only seeing one option on my foxwell. I’ve tried with INPA today but I’m getting connection errors when trying to NC onninicate worh the DSC57 module. I’ve also tried needing again today with pressure at the res but still a soft pedal. I’ll try again this evening when I can get someone in the car the old fashioned way

[andrewwynn]

Yeah old fashioned pumping will not help get air out of abs block.






Interesting I couldn't find the abs block purge on my e70

I have updated the software on my foxwell (I swear I only did this a few weeks ago but maybe not)

Today I am seeing all different menus in my scanner. The bleed procedure in the service menu is now 7 steps (2 days ago it was just activate bleed procedure and the pump would buzz) now the bleed procedure looks kore similar to what I have seen on INPA for other models. Also just found the ABS pump feature on the active test menu. Thanks for this

I’m now seeing this - will go through this in the daylight and report back

What's the NT 510 software version?

I need to check for updates for my NT520Pro.
