Seconded..lets keep the Barchetta section nice and friendly / helpful.

If you want to score points / blow testosterone bubbles then travel over to the Bravo section...

Hi

part of the work i have done myself, namely the bleeding and some other stuff, like removing the rear calipers to free some trapped bubbles in the brake hose.

the brake hoses replacement itself was done by a small local garage under my supervision. i am based in bern, switzerland.

while bleeding the rear brakes i have seen that the fluid flows very, very slowly. couldnt find a rear bias brake valve so i wondered if there is a static limiter?

i downloaded the workshop manual, i will have a look there too.
thanks for the answers, and sorry for any misunderstanding.


cheers

well lets remember that we are all trying to help one another here, and advice is free and we can either heed it or ignore it, as we want.
gianmarko can i ask what garages you have been to, for help?


and lets all play nice guys and girls !

In the manual it shows pressure regulators for each rear brakse could that be the problem, located at the top of rear suspension.

If you want to know more will copy out of book.

My point about the age of hoses is still valid. I wonder of its possible to buy a 'new' brake hose and actually be getting one that is 15 yrs old? Anyway, best wishes and I hope it's sorted soon.

Ok, I will advise that you bleed the brakes using the pedal pumping technique. It is safe to do with this braking system.

It is common practice to use this method in the UK.
