Did you clamp the flexihose when you pushed the caliper pistons back? If not, you *may* have inverted mastercylinder seals.


Failing that, still air in there. As longer as no air in abs pump, a simple bleed should get rid of any air. Air in abs pump is a tech2 job

How did you bleed the brakes and what was the 'correct' order?

there is unions on top of the pump.. first thou i would use flex brake pipe clamps to try and suss which circuit has the air in.
if you need to and you know what your doing there is a way to activate the pump without kit.

Diagnostics equipment to continuously run the pump in 10s bursts to pump the air out. Pain.
