Hi all. I want to change brake fluid by pressure bleeding for my 86 240 wagon. Does anyone know if there is a particular order I should follow, such as right rear, left rear, left front, right front etc?

Also, I found a simple homemade pressure bleeder using a garden sprayer at http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm
Cheers

 

Start with the furthest and work your way towards the master cylinder.

RR, LR, RF, then LF.

Good Luck!

Thanks tripleb. First step is to build the pressure bleeder. I did some searching and found some several sites that preferred pressure bleeding over vacuum bleeding. Cheers

 

I agree! I didn't look at your link, but pressure is the way to go. Sounds interesting!

heads up guys...normal bleeding for all 240s is as follows: Left rear, left front upper inner, right front upper inner, right rear, right front outter*, right front lower inner*, left front outter*, left front lower inner*

*bleed these in pairs (both right then left)....volvos they are picky
