GTI abs as standard
i have trolled through forums and couldnt find anything about bleeding brakes with ABS. -my apaologies if i have missed it.
i will have to fit new pads/discs soon, also my friend is in need of some new pads.
so, i have ezebleed kit, which is pretty straight forward on normal cars (no abs), but, am i right in thinking that when i push the caliper piston in: that i should open the bleed nipple so not to upset the ABS?
then ofc just bleed as normal when all the pads are fitted.
Or is there another way that i have missed?
kind regards

If the car has ABS you should open the bleed screw before pushing the piston back in.

They'll still fade the same as before with braided hoses fitted. Pedal will drop further still.

that's pedal fade, you boiled your brake fluid.
even fresh stock fluid shouldn't be that bad.
