Did my brake fluid change yesterday

So changed the brakes and did a brake fluid flush...no idea when the last time it was done...but looking at the colour it must been sometime ago.

Quite impressed how easy it was to do considering Im a chippy and not a mechanic.

Definitely was due a change but not the worst I’ve seen. It’s satisfying to get things done, even of they’re the small one’s and doing stuff on cars is not really your thing

Yep i only bought it as a weekend car, but i love detailing and it calms me down after a day on the tools.

No major problems with the brakes except that the rear discs orderded were not the right size..

Todays job was to clean the roof with my Bissell machine and boy did it do a good job.

Planning on changing the fluid on my car soon, did you use a pressure bleeder?

If your car is a manual it would be a good time to remove the Clutch Delay Valve if it is still there!

Nope hose attached to bleedle nipple dunked in bottle piss east. Loads of vids on you tube.

Tip
Use an 8mm socket to get the nipple started not a spanner and wd40 it first

Is there one on a 2 litre?

I don't know TBF. I've had them removed from an E46, E91, E90 and E86s but they were all straight 6s.

If you can get underneath it you should be able to tell.

Photos are of my current Z4 with and without one.
