I hope someone can help.
I have a Seat Toledo 1999 1M type/ MK2, 1.8 20 valve with ABS, same as Golf MK4. I decided to bleed my brakes, could'nt find my simple bleeding kit so I borrowed my brothers fancy pressureised one. You fill a secondary bottle with brake fluid, remove reservoir cap and use the one connected to secondary bottle. Then connect the secondary bottle via a spare tyre at 20PSi.
Proceeded to bleed all the brakes, seem to work great, all the air bubbles came out. Went to take car for a run and no brakes, they went streight to the floor. Funny thing, when engine is off the brakes are hard as rock.
Can someone explain what I have done, and how to correct this, I am concerned about the Hydraulic pump/ABS/Master Cylinder ?
regards Dave
