Re: [diesel_mercedes] Brake fluid change question for 350SD

 

Dave,

Annoyed teen age daughter may be better than girlfriend who doesn't know which is the clutch petal and which is the brake petal.

Experimental results proved that pumping the clutch produces little results.

(Vehicle did not have hydraulic clutch.)

Hi all,

I have a question about changing the brake fluid in my '91 350SD. I have always gone about this by having an assistant (annoyed teen-aged daughter) pump the brake pedal while I collected the fluid at the various bleed screws. The shop manual for the car seems to prefer using some kind of machine for this if you have the anti-lock brakes (which I do).
I also have a 2001 Passat with anti-lock which I have always used the pedal-pump method with no ill effects. It looks like getting a power bleeder makes the procedure easier, however (see comment about daughter). So any thoughts as to whether pedal pumping would be a bad thing for this car? Any power bleeders to recommend?

Thanks,

Dave
