DreamWeaver Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Greetings, Recently, I identified a malfunctioning calliper on my BMW X3 E83 2.0, and upon further inspection, I discovered the brakes were in disarray. It is hardly unexpected, given that I just purchased it for many thousand dollars. I have replaced the brakes with new discs, pads, callipers, hoses, and handbrakes all around. I have installed everything, however I am experiencing a low brake pedal and am unable to bleed the brakes effectively. I own an ezibleed system; everything seemed satisfactory, however there was no success. The wife attempted to use the brakes, but to no avail. Gravity has not yet diminished. I now have an illuminated engine management light. The master cylinder has fluid, and I see no visible leaks. Is there anybody that can assist with this?

IrvesBMW Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Connect it to diagnostics and do the bleeding process. Additionally, new discs and pads will result in a spongy pedal feel until they properly settle in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamWeaver Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Thank you for your response. I was contemplating a diagnostic instrument. Could you kindly provide a recommendation? The vehicle does stop, but it requires a complete depression of the pedal. I completed around five instances of braking from 60 to 20 mph today. I may do this over many days and assess my status thereafter. Salutations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 The choice is contingent upon your money, since a superior OBD scanner is necessary for the task. Brands such as Foxwell are reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamWeaver Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 I was considering the 510 model, I believe. The pricing seemed reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseSage Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Complete your homework using the scanner. I had the Foxwell 510 Elite, but I cannot recall if it included brake bleeding functionality. Your inquiry has prompted me to reflect on whether I still possess it, since I have an abundance of them. Rasa will arrive shortly; I believe he has the 510 or a similar model.
