One and the same :)

Give it a try, at this point anything is worth a shot before paying DB to rip it all apart again.

Well I was simply assuming the power bleeder deal had more force or something to bleed it better.

I don't think bleeding will help, we spent a few hours bleeding it yesterday. And this is after DB did it like 3 times already for hours...I just don't see it being a bleeding issue.

Isn't there something with the SSP V2/3 where it won't properly bleed unless done with a power (pressurized) bleeder? I wonder if that statement is valid, and if so, if it could also apply to the Magnus?

Maybe, that was what I was thinking that the pressurized bleeder could somehow get the air bubble out of the MC if that is the cause, but I don't know enough about it.

I think I need to talk with Danny about this before I do anything.

Beg lomker to come over tonight with his :D

I wasn't planning on doing a whole lot tonight with the Vikings being and the fact I need to do laundry and pack.

But maybe I will try one last time.

The two of us working on a car would be hilarious. If Dave wasn't out of town most of the week I'd suggest getting Swifty to supervise trying the Motive.

Car is on the way to DB now...AAA discount as its a haul from New Brighton to DB so its not free, but $80 isn't terrible. I hate to spend money on towing but driving the car there wasn't going to happen, it was too risky imo.

So i guess we will see what they find.

I'd get taht power bleeder dropped off to DB then. Some cars do require power bleeders because of the way their systems are plumbed. Just like some vehicles need to be bleed with the car running..which, you might also wanna try. It's been a little while since I've done one this way, but I remember the last SUV I did this way, it wouldn't really bleed at all off, but once it was running it would shoot that fluid out, along with bubbles...

^I was wondering the same thing.

Well I am guessing DB will try those things quick for me before they do the harder stuff like removing the master cylinder.

I guess we will see.
