I spent the afternoon flushing my brakes. I used a pressure bleeder similar to the Motive one. I flushed through a liter of new dot 4. Started at the RR, LR. Then RF and lastly LF. The pedal feels very firm if the car is off, but as soon as I start it, the pedal goes straight to the floor.

The fluid level in the master cylinder never went below the min mark.

What gives? The brakes worked before, but the fluid was nearly black, so I thought I would be nice to my car and change it.

Can you guys think of anything I've missed? I can't run the ABS pump without the obd software, right?

 

Manual transmission? If yes it is my understanding you should also bleed the clutch slave cylinder.

 

Problem Solved! I was skeptical, but I read somewhere that these cars are bled in reverse order. Start at LF, RF, LR, and then RR. I tried it and it made all of the difference. The only thing I can figure is that it pushes the fluid through the ABS pump differently.

The clutch should be bled at the same time since it shares the same reservoir.

 

Aha! Guess it wasn't **** in your pic in the other thread...!
