i def got stuck Nick, it fired about 10 dialog boxes at me and i lost the will to translate, essentially you just start each caliper then open the valve, click and its done. Easy £ for Shytner.

Are the Vs front? Vorderseite



Being shouted at in German is.. unpleasant.. haha

And just £80 Rog. £60 everywhere else

Holt crap £80 for a brake fluid change! With Kia it was part of the service criteria and the only extra charge was £8+ vat for brake fluid, hope my ex boss never reads these things.

Yup - that's where translate falls over.

The Germans love Wortbildung and therefore resort to acronyms/abbs for everything.

Brief test valves/pump.

DSC pre-bleeding.

DSC follow-up bleeding FR, RR, FL, RL.

Vorder & Hinter would have made intuitive sense written in full.

Think in n out charge £60.. certainly not free

The oil service is c£330, how do you like them apples?

Don't look at plugs. The engine is big, the bay is small, basically it's a ****er and must underwrite that swanky showroom

F*ing hell if i did t do it the wrong way round

still got the pedal back though which is interesting in itself.. i read this, wandered away and did v’s as rear. I blame the heat, or stupidity. Regardless it took an hour and 1L fluid, the pedal as it is now is fine but i’ll do it again later in the week now i know how easy it is

weapon

i used google translate app pointed at the screen, works quite well apart from for the acronyms. Ahem

I've never really understood the order thing myself - supposedly one does the shortest pipe first in order to save brake fluid.

But since they're largely independent, it all wraps up the same.

I took mine for its ticket, went for a little drive and then put it back in the garage so I could go play sticks with the dog instead.

There it's remained.
