Bleeding Brakes Help



  The Jinx
Did the rear calipers a few weeks ago and we bled them at the time using the normal 2-man method.

However the pedal was a touch spongy and would very slowly sink to the floor if you sat with your foot on the pedal, unless you lifted the pedal and then hit it again, when it would go firm and not budge. Must be air.

So I got a pressure bleeding kit and did them myself, but because of the turbines I took the wheels off and had it level on axle stands. Did all 4 'til fresh fluid was coming out, but whilst slightly better it still does it.

It was suggested to me on a non-renault site that the bias valve might not be open as the rear was unloaded.

Can anyone help or shed any light on this?
 
How long did you let the fluid run through? You should leave it for about 20 seconds to run out in a solid stream before closing the nipple.

as above, make sure you do all 4 (the 2 man method works best imo) let run through for maybe 15 - 20 seconds, air could be still in the system as the pipes are really long!
