Help bleeding brakes on piece of shit Jetta?
 
I have done all I know to bleed these freakin things, and the brakes still have no pressure. According to here http://www.ottawa-vdubbing.com/forum...ic.php?t=24701
and 2 other sites I checked, I'm bleeding correctly. But then another site said somethig about a proportioning valve? IHATEVW'S. Bleeding a car shouldn't take 3 fucking hours. IF SOMEBODY HAS HAS EXPERIENCE WITH PIECE OF SHIT VOLKSWAGENS YOU SHOULD TOTALLY COME HELP ME. Otherwise I dunno what else to do. :(

It is possible you have bad master cylinder, booster, ABS controller, etc. You need a pressure tester and the testing procedure.

I swapped out rotors and pads, and the brakes worked fine before.

did you by chance accidently drop a caliper? That could have possibly messed up a brake line and put a tear in it, and that would be why theres no pressure... any obvious leaks?

Thanks for the tip, but I tried that. Thought perhaps I might have left one of the valves open. So I backed out into the driveway and mashed on the gas a bunch, waited a minute or two, nothing.

try lighting it on fire

:lol: That's the best suggestion so far. Turns out the master cylinder was bad, plus one of the calipers was seized, which is why I had a such a hard time getting the old pads off the old disc.
