Motive Products - 0100 European Power Brake Bleeder Kit

The power Bleeder works well and saves money by doing it yourself. Good for a brake flush. I would augfest getting a catch bottle made by motive also to hook into caliper bleed screw.

I have no idea why I didn’t get one of these sooner. Amazing, efficient, and makes brakes a one person job. Can be a bit messy until you get the hang of it. But amazing.

I really truly love this device. It is by far both the best and the quickest way to bleed your brakes that I have ever found. I've bought and used every type of bleeder out there, and this style is by far my favorite.I've tried the whole pedal pump method, and let's face it...it sucks. Not only that, but it's actually a good way to kill your master cylinder too! The rod inside the MC is only used to traveling so far, but when you're bleeding your brakes it can easily go too far. It ends up destroying internal seals, and you end up wondering why on earth your brakes won't work anymore no matter what you do.6 months ago I bought a "MityVac"...worst product ever made! Within a few days it was falling apart, and it honestly just never worked all that well to begin with. It actually snapped in half earlier today. I will say that it was better than bleeding your brakes by pumping the pedal, but not by a lot.The only other method I can really highly recommend for brake bleeding is the gravity method. It works wonderfully in almost every situation. I can't say for sure how it works with ABS systems without a scan tool, but it works great in pretty much every normal situation you can think of. The problem, however, is that it takes forever! It's literally a 12-24 hour long process to gravity bleed your brakes. On the plus side, you only need to be there at the beginning and the end, but still...The Power bleeder...requires the absolute least amount of effort, and you can bleed your brakes in like 10 minutes. You fill it up with fluid. You pump up the pressure, and you go around the car cracking each bleeder screw one at a time. The best part? You don't have to keep an eye on the fluid level. You don't have to go add more every few minutes. You don't have to go through a whole setup process at each wheel. You've got pressure going to all 4 wheels, so crack any one of them you like. Actually, you have pressure going to the master cylinder outlets too for that matter! I did a really half...you know what...job of bench bleeding my new master cylinder, but the power bleeder worked just fine with it. I just used the power bleeder to bleed the MC in the car by cracking the line open for a few seconds before moving on to the wheels. It worked great, and I've got a perfectly firm pedal after maybe 10 minutes of work.I can not recommend this product enough!DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A MITYVAC!!! GET A POWER BLEEDER!!!

Have had this for a month and the cap already broke. This is my third one I’m now buying. Makes the job easy but be nice if the product had some quality to it.

I just used this and the companion bleeder bottle to change out the brake fluid on my VW Tiguan. I have never done this before, but found it to be straightforward and not all that difficult. From the YouTube videos I watched, I knew you don't really need these things, but they make it a lot easier and less chance of messing things up by getting air in the master cylinder. Some points:1) As the top comment says, there is no swivel between the cap and the pump. You should have the adapter part fairly snug with tape on the fittings (same as you would use in plumbing) before you put it under pressure. I only did it hand tight and did have some minor leakage (no big deal, just put a paper towel under it). When you put the cap on the fluid reservoir, you have to turn the whole bottle along with it. Not too much of a problem without fluid already in it, but a bit of a pain if you dumped a bunch in.2) Things you will need besides this and brake fluid: Lots of paper shop towels. Brake fluid is nasty stuff. You want to clean it off off any surface or yourself quickly. A cheap turkey baster. Get the old fluid out of the reservoir and have a bottle to put it in. Denatured alcohol. This is stuff you find in a Home Depot paint section. Use it to clean the bleeder and the bottle. The directions make a point of saying to use that instead of brake cleaner.

This thing is great. I added some quick connect air fittings to make it even better. I wish I would have bought one of these things years ago. No more getting my wife or daughter to pump the brake pedal while I keep opening and closing the bleeder screws!The cap that is included with this kit fit perfectly on my 2005 Passat.I know you can fill this bleeder with fluid and use it that way, but I decided to use it to just hold air and pressurize the system that way. Yes, this does require refilling the master cylinder frequently to avoid letting it run empty. But there is less cleanup and mess that way. The bonus is if you use the quick connect fittings like I did, you don't lose all of your air pressure when you disconnect the hose to refill the master cylinder. The quick disconnect fittings hold the pressure you have built up in the tank while you refill the reservoir. Just reconnect the fittings, pump up the pressure a little more as needed, and continue bleeding!To add quick connect fittings, this is what I used (1 of each):Primefit IK1015S-5 1/4-Inch Steel Quick Coupler Set, 5-PiecesAnderson Metals 57001 Brass Hose Fitting, Adapter, 1/4" Barb x 1/4" NPT Male PipeYou'll also need a hose clamp of suitable size and some plumber's Teflon tape. I already had some of each laying around, so I used what I had. Just to avoid any sharp edges that might get caught on stuff, I wrapped up the hose clamp area with electrical tape after I was done.All you need to do is cut off the fitting that is pre-attached to the hose coming from the bleeder, then install the nipple listed above and clamp it in place. Then install the quick-connect fitting using some Teflon tape on the threads to avoid leaks.

Worked good!
