Tech2 automated bleed
So how much fluid does the automated bleed procedure normally take? I’m finding myself having to stop several times per corner…just so the MC doesn’t run dry. It’s working at least, I can hear the ABS pump actuate and I did manage to get out some air and dirty fluid, but actually had to stop because I didn’t have enough fluid to finish. Between replacing the MC and just the front brakes, I used almost 2L of fluid. Wow.
Does stopping mid procedure to top off have an affect on the process?
I’m thinking of just running a longer hose to the bleeder so I don’t have to be underneath the car, and having an assistant on hand to keep the MC topped off. I do have one of those ‘one man bleeder’ cups on the hose to keep from sucking air back in to the caliper through the bleeder.
On the bright side, my fluid looks great now!

Nope you’re good… I just did this procedure yesterday. If you open the bleeder screw all the way open, it’s about half a quart for each caliper... I personally don’t open it up all the way. It wastes too much fluid. I open just enough to get about a 1/4 of a quart out. I feel it’s more important to get new fluid through the ABS tech 2 process. Then I flush the entire system as normal. I use about 1.5 liters for my entire process
