Sucked the old brake fluid out and filled it up with new fluid.
Bled the whole system and brake pedal feels nice and hard👍🏻

Broken my dogbone mount. Got the pendulum one aswell. Pushed it first gear quite hard it snapped off. Would it just be straight replacement or does it look like I’ve damaged anything else.

I'#039ve done a scan with VCDS and I do have a code for the passenger rear door control module -
