Hello Everyone,

I changed my brake rotor pads and calipers. While im bleeding brakes and 2 times master cylinder went empty. But after that i bleed all of them and there was no air coming from the bleeder valve but my brakes now dont work at all. What could be the problem? Im not able to work for 2 days because of this car if anybody can help me i would be very grateful

If the master went empty then you probably have air all the way at the top of the system in and around the master and ABS. Bleed from top to bottom, master first, then the ABS inlet lines, then ABS outlet lines, then the wheels again.

You should bleed the master and ABS lines manually before using a power flusher. The ABS has its own internal reservoirs which can trap air that can't escape the valving under vacuum. If your scanner supports it, doing a "live" bleed on the ABS by running the solenoids is the best way.
