It`s nice to have an assistant who can monitor this and keep the
reservoir full...
Are the calipers getting tight by the way?

| Hello,
| 1988 Wagon 300 TE w/ABS
|
| This weekend I changed all 4 caliperss, new Pads, new Rotors.
|
| I tried bleeding the system and I get nothing but air.
|
| I found a loose brake line to a front caliper and tigntened it.
|
| I still get no pedal while trying to pump and bleed.
|
| Today, I put in a new Master Cylinder and filled the brake lines from the
| master cylinder end before connecting the master cylinder, I used a fluid
| injector.
|
| Hooked up the master cylinder and tried to bleed the system. The brake
| fluid I had loaded the system with pumped through and now all I have is
air.
|
| I cannot find any leaks. This is the first ABS system I have worked on
and
| do not know if that is causing me difficulties or not.
|
| Has anyone had similiar difficulties with a `88 or so 300 series with ABS?
|

Have you tried using a pressure bleeding system? The one I use (although I
admit I haven`t used it on a car with ABS) uses air from the spare tyre to
force fluid through the brake pipes. It works very well, just make sure that
there are no leaks or brake fluid gets sprayed everywhere!
They should be available at any decent car accessory shop.

this is true. It helps to have an assistant topping off the reservoir.
If it goes down 3/4" it will take on air.

Title: Custom Mercedes in Black
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:56:27 +0000
Author: orcatek
This week I faced the fun challenge of photographing a black custom Mercedes in my studio. As with all black cars, dealing with the many reflections was key to success.
It is always worth the effort as I really enjoy photographing cars. From classic hotrods to amazing exotic cars, each presents their own set of challenges for the photographer. Finding the perfect angles to show off the curves of a fender, or just the right type light to bring out details hidden in shadows are just a few of the problems I enjoy solving.
I’ve got another great car coming into the studio soon that will provide the opportunity to use some new techniques.
