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.
#13: Re: brake pedal travel Author: paulk, Location: nottinghamPosted: Wed May 02, 2012 12:22 pm ---- its bleeding brakes though , not hard really ....My golf gti ed30 didnt need a lap top to bleed nor my rs stupid french
#14: Re: brake pedal travel Author: Andy180, Location: Stoke on TrentPosted: Wed May 02, 2012 1:20 pm ---- its £85 well spent trust me i had an absoloute nightmare trying do mine myself.
#15: Re: brake pedal travel Author: paulk, Location: nottinghamPosted: Wed May 02, 2012 2:36 pm ---- did you get a really good pedal after andy ?
#16: Re: brake pedal travel Author: Andy180, Location: Stoke on TrentPosted: Wed May 02, 2012 2:43 pm ---- no not really to be honest it stops well enough don't get me wrong but the pedal still doesnt feel feel brillaint compared to my sister little fiat 500. I forgot to mention in my previous post that i had changed the master cylinder on mine so i didnt really have a lot of choice other than to get them bled up by peugeot planet.

It is hard if you havent got the correct tools for the job.
Its a GTI 180 & certain jobs need specialist equipment.
#18: Re: brake pedal travel Author: paulk, Location: nottinghamPosted: Wed May 02, 2012 6:05 pm ---- im not goin to be happy if i pay out and its still a poor feel under foot ,

The hydraulic unit for the ESP equipped 206's is a right pain to bleed if you get air in the system, the air can get trapped inside the hydraulic valve block.
Peugeot Planet opens the valves inside the hydraulic block & allows the unit to be bleed.

Cheers.
