it is the same with quite a few cars nowdays mk golfs are the same, you need the right software to run the abs pump to get the fuild runing through the system and air free if this is not done then the peddle will never feel right or the system work right.

Get hold of Peugeot Planet & do it yourself then
£85 for an hours labour charge for laptop & technician is pretty good value to do the job correctly.
