Hi folks!
Just curious what the group's opinion is on changing/bleeding brake fluid on newer street driven cars (i.e. CLK500 @2000mls/year) with ABS: 1) Yes, every 2 years or 2) I have never done it and my car drives just fine Also, how much different is the work with ABS, compare to our 914s? Just trying to get some education before talking to my "new" car mechanic. Thanks, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) dc PS: I know this topic/questions will be opinionated. |

I was doing an engine swap on the step daughters 2005 Hyundai. I had to take it to a shop. When air gets in the abs, you need to be able to turn the abs pump on to bleed the brakes. It only cost $80, but that was after I spent hours having people pump the peddle.
