Brake fluid flush, now soft pedal?

[Timco]

Bentley has one additional step, to connect the Porsche System Tester II to the car and select bleed. This engages the recirc pump. Supposed to let that go until no bubbles.

Must have gotten air in there. Cost of having fluid swapped at Porsche will surely have bought a Durametric.

Actually, yes. Mistakes I made:

Didn't wait to buy pump up type bleeder as suggested. Just bought what was on the shelf.
Never did buy Durametric. Will place order later. Hope they do Mac.

Didn't get E brake shoes adjusted right. Tear it back down!

Bently manual covers this all very clearly. Someone said you don't need dura to do this, but you do apparently.

One rotor I had turned too rough. Has to go back. Helped with squeal overall but rears already wore shiney and have a slight squeal. Time for some anti squeal sprays. If they don't work new rotors again to finally fix it.

Never finally ordered ceramic pads.

It never ends. Did an alternator, battery, belt, pads, oil & filter on the Touareg and O2 sensor on the ranger.

Fun stuff!!

Not bleeding the ABS will *not* get air into the system.
I think we're looking at some other problem.
BTW: The brake pedal is always softer when the engine is running
