Hi,

i suspect air bubbles.

Don't use the old fashion way if you have an ABS/ESP system in your car.

Make shure you have always min 1 bar and max 2 bar pressure in your over pressure system (motive bleeder). I recommend 1 - 1.5 bar, because the brake reservoirs are min. approx. 15 years old now.

Don't forget to bleed the clutch line, as it is connected to the brake system. It can affect also brakes if you have air in the clutch line.

Start from the longest line to the brake cylinder and go stepwise to the shortest.

If you have an S brake, don't forget to bleed both brake cylinders in the front calipers.

Seals won't affect any brake travel.

Regards, Markus
