Clio valver rear brakes won't bleed !!!!

[Nick k]

Original fault was there was lots of travel in the pedal, so i thought i would bleed the brakes,

Clio 1 16v F7P.

Using a easy bleed and my foot!!!

Front pass side. fluid rans out on its own under easy bleed power when nipple opened :) cool.

Front drivers side. not alot happened, afew pumps on the pedal and fluid, so bled ok after some foot action. ;)

Rear pass side (with compensator cable tied down) bled after a long while but pedal solid as if the bleed nipple was closed

Rear driver side ( as above) pedal rock hard and no fluid to caliper.

On road test, all disc hot apart from drivers rear which is cold.
Hand brake is working fine on both sides.

Pedal travel is alot better but still not correct.

I suspect the compensator has shot it but any other ideas????

i had a problem like that on my rsi and i had a faulty caliper it was leaking around the rubber boot fitted new caliper and was mint after that

Gonna pull down the compensator tomorrow and see whats going on before and after it by undoing the pipes!! and getting wet :D Joy :rolleyes:

Had a the same problem on the front of the 5, turned out it was the bleed nipples were corroded inside and blocked up......changed them and that sorted the problem.
