hi all,
had the car with VW in the last couple of weeks for a new wing (good old free rust replacement) and while it was there had the brake fluid changed.
anyway when they rang to say the car was coming back the service manager told me they hadnt been able to bleed the n/s/f as the end of the bleed nipple had previously snapped off. - they charged me less because of this and have said no leak so safe to drive but recommend changing the bleed nipple/caliper in the future - but my questions are
1. should they not have bleed all the brakes, not left one?
2. after finding the part number on this site i know the bleed nipple can be bought on its own and is cheap, should they have asked if i wanted them to replace it whilst they had the car up and were changing the fluid anyway?
3. how do i change the bleed nipple. i know this may sound stupid, but i presume i would have to clamp off the hose to the caliper first? never changed one so have no idea. I nut portion of the nipple is still there, just the top part is gone.
any thoughts appreciated
