HELP 4 pot calipers
ill start of its a 98 v4 turbo 2000 with 2 pot front calipers
the brakes on the car worked perfect
rite i brought a set of 4 pot calipers last week i cleaned them up abit and fitted them when i fitted the calipers when i bled them i couldnt get a pedel
i bled the brakes over and over again but could not get a pedal
if i pumped the pedal it would build up pressure but after about 5 seconds the pedal goes strait to the floor
i had a new set of seals ect delivered from ian godney that arrived this morning
so i took the calipers apart and cleaned them up new seals cleaned the pistons bors ect and refitted them
but it was exctally the same
i put a brake hose clamp on the drivers side hose and the pedal gose hard (as it should)
there is no fluid leaking any were i have checked and rechecked the conection were the pipe joins the caliper and the bleed nipple but nothing
i have since put my old calipers on and it bled up fine and the brakes are fine
What the hell is goin on can any 1 help me
HELP!!!

My son should have been there as he was taking the engine and box out of his car , so sorry he didn't answer.
Calipers must always have the bleed nipples at the highest point as the air will rise to the top of the calipers when you bleed them
Put them on right and it will bleed up straight away

i did spk to some 1 there but he said you wasnt there and i told him the problem and neither of us could figure it out
iv also spoke to about 5 ppl about it and no 1 had any clues lol
but thinking about it i did look at the bleed nipple and think its usually at the top but i didnt even think about puttin it on the other side lol
i feel like such a t**t lol
cheers fella
