General How to bleed the brakes!

[Firstinalltrouble]

Hi Everyone.
I drive a Fiat Strada 1.4 8 valve and I have had endless issues with the brakes for the past 5 years. Before I go into details about everything I have experienced, I would like to know if there is a very unique way to bleed this braking and clutch system!

Some cars are just moody when it comes to bleeding brakes, you only seem to be able to get all of the air out of the system by using either a pressure or vacuum bleeder. You might just have one of those cars? What methods have you already tried?

Too my knowledge the bleeding has only been done the conventional way but feom what I have heard and experienced is that most mechanics struggle with solving braking issues on this vehicle.

I must agree with your comment on vacuum bleeding. I don't think many companies follow this principle of bleeding unless they know it is necessary! I just don't know!

Our Seat was tardy when being bled and rejuired some top pressure provided by Gunsons Eazi Bleed kit which uses a spare tyre to pressure the fluid from the reservoir. This helped a lot. I dont know why some cars are so difficult to bleed well.
