how did u do ur manual bleeding? possible u may have left an airpocket in there somewhere.as for brake pumps, better get brand new. ive used the repair kits (albeit on a mazda) and they dont last very long. good luck!redd

can be other things also.. piston seal out, rear seal out, never bleed from the rear first..please go and check it out immediately before you get into an accident..regards.

when you bleed the oil, it better to throw away the old oil.. do not reuse the oil.. you need about two cans to flush the old oil out and refill them...

yes yes... i renew the oil already... but after brake failure.., i carry out brake bleeding.... Then which wheel should i start bleeding from ???i started at rear left, rear right, front left and end at front right,...i just carry out manual bleeding as usuall...tomolo i will request to bring my car into my training center...becoz insdie got bleeding machine... hopefully its approved and helps...

bleed from the wheel furthest from the reservoir... Rear right... then work towards the wheel nearest to the reservoir.HoweverFYI, for 318i, there is only 1 metal pipe that goes to the rear and then split to 2 near the rear subframe. it's not 1 dedicated line which goes right to the caliper on each side for the rear... It's dedicated line for the front but not for the rear.

how about this theory ???as i carry out bleeding on W211 E class sbc system by using star diagnosis... the procedure started from rear right , rear left , front left, front right.... but thats with sbc system..normally i used to carry out manual bleeding on any cars as what fabian said... i'm not so sure for e30... Um... i will try once more tomolo.. hopefully is works.. thanks for ur information fabian....

If the sound is rhythmic, its your fuel pump. Sat at the back in a Toyota Camry and heard similar sound. Could it be some other pump in the engine bay?
