Brakes AOK-forgot to recenter control valve-BRAKE FAIL ON

PostPost by: mjbeanie » Wed Jan 24, 2024 5:06 am

Well I've done a complete brake restoration and final bleed as the Plus 2 is slowly coming together. I did not know about the control valve in the engine bay bleeding needed, and the brake FAIL light remains on. The braking is stellar. Must I complete a full bleed again?? ugh!. Is there a workaround?

I read somewhere this valve is self centering. Is there a chance it will return to a neutral position with some driving. (The car isn't fully road ready until I do the rotoflex replacement.) So for now, the car won't be driven to try to alleviate the issue. Thanks for your thoughts! -Mike
