Had a speedbleeder die today running around during my lunch break at work.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Drove home with the ebrake. I am now kind of sketched about them after this. |

I have not used speed bleeders in the 2001 gti caliper but: I have looked at speedbleeders and it looked like when the tip is seated with the speedbleeder it is just like the stock bleeder. The only way the speedbleeder should let fluid pass is when it is backed off and not seated. Either the seat is damaged or the taper is the wrong size if the speedbleeder is truly tight against the seat. Are you sure you used the right speedbleeder for the caliper you have? It seems like a close examination of the original bleeder and the speedbleeder would show any differences.
