These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Suggestion

I don't push fluid through from the unit, however, but only use the air pressure function and keep an eye on the brake fluid reservoir.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My cheap and nasty brake bleed kit has reached its sell by date. Possibly looking at a vacuum type system. Any recommendations please?

POST 2Original post

I just purchased a Sealey VS820 pressure bleeder kit, which came highly recommended by someone I know. Not used it yet but looks to be very good quality and simple to use.

POST 3Original post

I have one of these, really good and a doddle to use :thumb:

POST 4Original post

I use a mityvac. Not sure of the model as it's years old now! Really good though

POST 5Original post

The Sealey looks to be a copy of the Motive pressure Bleeder? I have used it on so many cars, but not yet the 996. Works really well. I don't push fluid through from the unit, however, but only use the air pressure function and keep an eye on the brake fluid reservoir. Saves a lot of potential mess.

POST 6Original post

I used this one and it was perfect and is a very good price. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392832877979 There's a video on YouTube that shows how to improve them with a few dabs of sealent Hope that helps

POST 7Original post

I've tried Eazi-Bleeds and the Sealey Vacuum bleeder over the years but still find the one that works the best and I always return to is the el cheapo Draper One Person Brake Bleeder that I've had about 30 years. It just always seems to do the job with no issues.

POST 8Original post

I use a pressure bleeder. Sealey maybe? Works well in combination with pedal pump and ABS cycling. Got a better pedal feel doing it myself this way than OPC managed.

POST 9Original post

I have just bought this kit for my impending clutch slave cylinder rebuild/replace project. I have yet to use it but it does look well made. Managed to find a seller with a valid 20% discount code that could be applied.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for advice - I will check these recommendations out.
