    Interesting to see the brake bleeding process with a power bleeder. I’ve bought one for my R50 as the fluid is very old

      @@Fourwheeledfarming Glad it was useful.
      It Worked a charm. Bentley guide says you can go to 29psi - Checked a few places and recommend 15-20 - So I went in that area - Was all good.
      Just make sure you release the pressure before removing the hose 😂

      I thought it was a misprint at 29 - But I don't think I want to be pushing it past 20psi - Be just my luck I'd blow a seal :)

    Couple quick questions, did you include the purchase price anywhere or do you do a breakdown at the end ? (probably just need to be patient and finish your vids ). Secondly, I've just bought an r53 and the obd wasnt working, fixed the x15 connector corrosion issues but the dme module still doesnt communicate, i wanted tot follow the wires from/below the abs module going into the dash but i haven't taken apart all of the dash, do you know where the abs module loom wires connect to the dash is it behind the dash alloy somewhere? nws if you cant answer would be a massive help though!

    • @ThorMotorWerks
      @ThorMotorWerks  2 місяці тому

      No costs yet. Will go through at the end - although it’s needed quite a bit of work 😂
      In regards to ABS wiring, it goes through the bulkhead just behind the pump itself, so internally it’s up near the glovebox behind the dash alloy frame. If you look at the breaking challenge video it shows how the loom goes through the bulkhead - so that would probably be quite useful.
      There is a part 2 to that coming soon as well, I delayed it to make use of the good weather.

      @@wheelie157 Well the problem is they run the harness across the bulkhead and use clips to hold it place, so depending on the issue you’re having could possibly have to.
      If you have a pre 2004 car you may be able to get away with removing the dash top, as that’s fairly easy to move.
      I can’t remember how much taking the dash top off exposes. But if you get the glovebox and airbag out the way there is a bit of room under there.
