...interesting and Iain after my recent engine rebuild and replacement over gearbox brake lines replacement the brakes were bled (takijg litres of fluid) however an inner rear drivers side nipple sheared thus this couldn't be bled...should I worry that air might be trapped in this short brake line leading to a less than perfect brake feel?
In other words do I need to rush to remove caliper and have a new bleed nipple fitted?
Sorry .. i missed this ..
I tend to find that not bleeding both sides of a caliper will leave air in the system .. but this is pretty obvious .. its a very soft pedal .. if the pedal feels the same as it always has then its ok , unusual but ok .
Ok so a seized nipple .. they are not always siezed .. i give it a certain amount to try and undo .. after that i flag it as possibly seized .. it may come undone with more force .. but on a one day service the last thing you want to do is snap a bleed nipple .
garages will get authority before continuing .. you may be lucky .. if so i would recomend asking them to replace the nipple ... if i had 6 i thought were seized .. then 2 will snap.
Again its not uncomon for them to come undone a bit but then seize .. you can often get them tight enough to seal .. but you will be in trouble if you try to replace them .. it will drag the threads out with the nipple .
For the other comments .. different indys do different things .. i like to browse through the various settings for x2 reasons ..
One being i need to remember the settings for a good car with no faults .. its kinda refreshing my memory .. each model is different so we need to stay on top of it .
Second is obvioulsly looking for issues .
Actually there is a third .. im weird and like looking at the figures :floor:
Cam deviation will flag a fault code once at 11 degrees .. but with only one sensor on the early cars its not a real check of chain stretch .. which is still pretty rare to be fair .
