Good morning. Just wondering where you got the 1.7 bar number from for the power bleeder. I was always told not to exceed 15 PSI to avoid putting too much pressure in the brake/clutch system but when I bled the brakes at that PSI on my Cooper S the fluid was slow to flow. Also, it was so hard to get the rear caliper bolts torqued to specs (22 ft/lbs plus 90 degrees) because the shocks were in the way of the torque wrench. It doesn't look like you used a torque wrench in your video but that may have been cut out. Thanks for the video.
I originally bought it for my Mercedes, and they (Mercedes) recommend as high as 2 bar (29psi) for cars with ABS. Ive found that 20PSI seems to be a sweet spot where fluid flows reasonably well and the connections on the bleeder don't leak. Maybe ive just gotten lucky. The risk would be springing a leak either on the motive hose connections or between the reservoir and the master cylinder, after the master cylinder the car has way more pressure than 2 Bar (800psi or more in some cases).
Hey, good video but to let you know the rotors are in the wrong direction. Just a little helpful advise. The sweep line supposed to go towards the back, but I like the video.

I researched it to and I’m a little confused some go forward some go back 👍🤠

i thought so too, but they were labelled L and R the way i installed them.. So i just assumed i was wrong. @@MXRIP1
Hello,
Do you have the references of the discs fitted to the car please?
Thanks
