Compressor Brake bleeding kit buying help

[saladdodger]

Can anyone recommend a compressor and bleed/vacuum kit please.

Ive seen some on the net, machine mart etc but unsure what i actually need.

Should it be one that attaches to the reservoir and pushes it through to each 4 corners or one that sucks from the nipples??? if that corrects

Any links would be helpful


Thanks

I have recently brought and used a one man kit but can't remember what it is called!!!!
It works off the air in the spare wheel, attaches to the top of the reservoir via a container of fresh brake fluid.
It worked a treat and was a doddle to use.
Plenty on the bay for about £15 ish

I'm not happy with any of the ones I ever had/have.

If you're not replacing all the fluid in one go, don't bother.
If you are replacing all the fluid, enjoy 4 cups of tea, rather than 2.

Broomstick, spanner, jar, tube with none return valve (cheap from Halfords), Axle stands if you really must.
keep topping up as required.

I use one of these:

Bought it direct from Motive Products about 10 years ago.

one of my friends has got one of these;



its excellent, what a doddle! It pressurises from the resorvior so you just crack the nipples release a bit of fluid and lock. I managed to do a Pug 106 on the floor without taking the wheels off under 10 minutes!

Probably quite a bit more than the eezibleed type ones but If you do alot of private work or own a garage then...
http://www.liquid-levers.com/sbb.htm is a good bit of kit. Fluid fed under (adjustable) pressure. Connects to car battery.

Just take care with how much pressure you use on a4's passats with the round resevoir as they tend to burst if old and brittle.

We have just used a 400 quid jobby my mate has and it was awesome, pushed loads of air out that the eezibleed didnt.

So simple arnt they.
