Does this look like it's "in" all the way to you guys? I am reluctant to keep tightening it. I don't have a torque wrench that can go on a fitting like this. BMW TIS says this fitting "Brake lines to hydraulic control unit" should be 17 nM https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...-lines/5eAqjtl I don't really think I can tighten this thing anymore... |

Hard to say if the connection is tight or not. Meeting torque specs is the determination though if it is cross treaded torque specs will not be accurate. Did you remove this line or were the symptoms prior to the brake work similar to what you have now? Be sure to use a brake/fuel line wrench.

I don’t believe it’s cross threaded. I used my fingers to do it until it was almost all the way in then used my 12mm open-ended spanner. I did remove this line, it’s not possible to extract the brake booster (which was the point of the exercise originally) with this line (and the master cylinder) in place.

I bleed another container of fluid through it this weekend. Took it to a local parking lot. Pedal still like a marshmallow, but if you pressed deep down, it would stop the car..
Did a bunch of panic stopps, getting the ABS pump going. But it just seemed like the rear brakes were not engaging at all.. Quote:
Hour and half later they brought it around. $143 dollars sir.. Drove it, somewhat, but not alot better than it was.. Went back in, asked if they test drove it.. Service advisor drove it, said felt fine to him.. Asked if they had cycled the ABS pump, he had no idea of course.. Took it to the shop foreman.. Another hour and half later, Advisor tells me they ran the 'bleed program' from the computer and asks me to test drive it.. Light years better. I'm still a little unhappy with the pedal feel overall, but at least all the brakes are working, and it is safe to drive again. Hoping my experience is like "Ashaman", in that I've got a solid pedal engine off, but soft engine on Quote:
P.S. - Would be nice if you didn't have to tell the dealership that there is a procedure to run on the computer to get the air out of the ABS pump..

ABS BLEEDING ISSUE
It appears in my research that the ABS can have air bubbles which are difficult to evacuate, been through three bleeding procedures and cannot get full braking, worse yet, brakes lock up when hot at precisely same point in daily drive. Pressure bleed, but very little air came out at calipers. Unlocked the proportion valve which was preventing rear brake bleed as the brake line ruptured and had them replaced. So this is where my problem started, got stuck taking it to a independent who supposedly knew BMW's, yes he came back and said I need master cylinder when he could not bleed rears, and he had no diagnostic system evidently. So got screwed, took it home on front brakes only, replaced master cylinder and no difference, which led me to researching issue myself, bought the bleeder diagnostics, got to bleed rears, but using vacuum bleeder was not working, bought pressure bleeder, got more air out, but still same issue of soft peddle and only 50% braking and still locking up. I read that jacking up rear is solution for stuck air bubbles in master cylinder, so I am stumped, will try to bleed again. Any suggestions?
Thanks, |

There's a specific order on bleeding and you must activate the ABS while doing it or else you basically are just pushing bubbles back and forth in the block.
Believe it's RR, LR, RF, LF but I don't have it in front of me to verify. Sorry Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

I learned this the hard way after replacing a rusted out line to the back. It never dawned on me, as I read through all the threads and reviewed ISTA/D on procedures until I broke down and took it to the dealer. It may be self evident but I didn't think of it in trying to do this single handed. I asked the dealer and they have 2 people bleeding the brakes. IIRC, one pumping the brakes while the ABS is engaged via ISTA and one cracking the bleeder screw open. I bought a pressure bleeder thinking that I would be able to do this by myself AND while activating ABS. No such luck. I had the steps right, starting at the right rear wheel, but it is a 2 man job.

If there's any DIY I just can't stand doing it's brake bleeding - so f#$@g bloody tedious but must be done right, or else .... So, for $120 done at my local dealership, I call it money-well-spent for such an onerous task.
