Can't work this one out. I recently changed a set of 2 pots for 4 pots on my scoob and I can't get a pedal. changed them back and no joy either. Have changed master cylinder and still no joy. Bleed them in order etc etc but can not get a pedal. Any ideas ?
Have you fitted them with the bleed nipples to the top. Ie Are they on the right side? No offence intended if this is obvious to you.

This is most likely a fluid problem, or rather an air-leak problem. Air can be hard to remove from the ABS, or so I'm told. But bleeding is really a two-man job, anyway, to be certain of not sucking air back into the system.
Suggest a full and careful flush with fresh fluid and check all pipes like a ****e-hawk. If in any doubt, get a Scoob dealer to do it. Too dangerous

I have got the exact same problem with a Legacy at the moment, i was going to change the master cylinder and try that, but looks like it has not worked with yours. What is the correct order that you should be bleeding the brakes. Just to make sure that i am doing them in the right order. Let me know if you manage to get yours sorted.
Thanks
