Bleeding the brake system (Renault Espace I)

1. If for any reason the connections of the brake pipes, hoses or other components of the brake system are damaged, it is necessary to bleed the system of air.

2. Before bleeding, remove dirt from the bleeding nipples and the filler cap of the tank.

3. If only the wheel cylinder or caliper was removed, it is sufficient to bleed only the corresponding brake circuit, i.e. between the front left and rear right, or front right and rear left wheels. Otherwise, you can start bleeding either the rear or front wheels.

4. Remove the protective cap from the bleed nipple and attach a transparent hose to it. Place the other end of the hose in a glass container with a small amount of brake fluid.

5. Have an assistant press the brake pedal all the way down. Loosen the bleeder plug half a turn when the pedal is fully depressed. Watch the fluid coming out of the hose.

6. Once the air bubbles have disappeared from the fluid, all air has been removed from the system. Hold the brake pedal before the final lift and close the bleeder valve. Slowly return the pedal to its original position.

7. Perform similar work in the specified sequence on other brake mechanisms.

8. Please note that the brake fluid level must be constantly monitored to prevent air from entering the system. Never use brake fluid that has been pumped out of the system for refilling. Also, do not use fluid that has been stored in an open container for a long time. To avoid any problems, purchase genuine brake fluid from Renault.
