Brake System Bleeding Instructions

Model: Peugeot 106 MK 1 - Years 1991-2004
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the brake pedal goes soft under foot pressure and braking is ineffective, it is likely that an air bubble has formed in the system: you can bleed the system using the bleed valves located on the brake calipers. First, ensure that there is enough fluid in the reservoir, locate the bleed valve on the brake caliper, remove any cap, and insert a tube connected to a bottle to collect the fluid; while holding the brake pedal down, loosen the valve to let the air escape; repeat this process on all four calipers and restore the fluid level in the reservoir.
