no fluid from bleeder valve

good to hear, hopefully things go a little smoother for you from here on.

Turner is sending a replacement caliper now.

[blunttech]

Theres blast media clogging the caliper... Its pretty common. Turner will warranty it

[rammstein]

ive never seen that before.

I get that too much. :|

[dirtbag30]

i would for sure. tell them the shit aint workin. lol

but yeah, if fluid comes out of the brake line, but not the caliper then theres something funky there. ive never seen that before.

[rammstein]

So it sounds like I should call Turner in the am and see about a replacement?

[dirtbag30]

ahhhhhhhh, understandable. kids and life is more important then a car i guess. sell it and buy a different one.

[rammstein]

I used to be motivated before spawning two kiddos. Now j just want to follow the steps and get success at least 50% of the time. With the little free time I have I'd rather be driving. I just don't have the time anymore. Sucks.

[dirtbag30]

have someone fix it for you. bring it to a shop. theres no shame in paying to have your car fixed proper, so that it is safe and reliable.

if you dont understand it, and dont have the motivation to learn, let someone else fix it for you.

[rammstein]

Bleeder is completely removed. Thinking of selling cause this is the tip of the iceberg. Nothing I have tried to fix in the last two months had worked. Half of the parts I buy are doa and this is just a drain on my soul at this point. If I could buy a zero miles e30 I'd do it, but playing with 23 year old parts and troubleshooting things I don't understand is not cutting it.

With the pressure bleeder, it should take maybe like a minute, max.

I would think there is something blocking that caliper

[dirtbag30]

thats the weirdest thing ive ever heard. if you have fluid coming to the hose, and into the caliper, but not out the caliper, there is something blocking the path inside the caliper.

no need to freak out and sell the car. contact turner and see if there is any way you can exchange for a one that works.

to clarify you have opened the bleeder screw and tried compressed air through the caliper?

try taking the bleeder screw completely out?

EDIT: nvm that last queston, i didnt read.



you need a new caliper, the reman one is obviously defective.

[rammstein]

Do I need to like push the piston back?

[rammstein]

I don't understand. I have tried pounding the pedal for like 20 minutes. Tried the pressure bleeder. When I removed the line it dripped freely from the line. I have completely remkved removed the bleeder screw from the caliper and nothing comes out.

[StereoInstaller1]

That's gonna take all damn day, fill that bitch! I dunno, a pressure bleeder should be pretty quick
