Title: Brake Fluid Change
Post by: saljo on October 16, 2022, 14:09:48

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me the correct sequence for bleeding the brakes (fluid change) on a 2009 i30 CRDI and roughly the amount of brake fluid required.  I understand with ABS the traditional
furthest to nearest the master cylinder does not apply.

The local Hyundai can't tell me 'for safety reasons'.

Cheers,

saljo.

Sundiz is a tech advisor here, I used their recommendation in this post. You'll want at least 1L. Vacuum bleeder makes it super easy

Thanks for the link Josh.  Some differing opinions here too - I guesss I'll go with the manuals recommendation.
