Review on πŸš— Motive Products 0100 European Power Brake Bleeder Kit - Efficient Brake System Maintenance for European Vehicles by Rosalio Zavala

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Did the job exactly as stated.

Did the job exactly as advertised. The adapter cap fits perfectly on the expansion tank of my 2010 MINI Cooper Hardtop (R56). As soon as I tightened the lid tight enough, it stopped dripping. I pumped it up to 20psi, did the first round, which meant flushing out all the liquid currently in the tank. He lost about 5 pounds per square inch. Each of the remaining turns used 2-3psi, didn't really need to re-pump, but still had to to maintain speed. I used a clear fuel line from a local auto parts store in a clear plastic can. , making it easy to see how well the liquid was flowing and when to drain the old yellow liquid and pour in the new clear liquid. I used about a half 32 ounce bottle of brake fluid. The other half was wasted but had to keep me from blowing air into the lines. A 32-ounce bottle is only $3 more than a 12-ounce bottle, so it was still the most economical option. a second person bleeds the brakes when opening and closing the bleeder. I just opened it, waited 2-3 minutes for the liquid to evaporate and closed it again. Don't worry about air bubbles remaining in the lines due to pumping and delays between pumping.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Appearance
