Sealey Vs820 Brake And Clutch Bleeding System

Very sturdy item made of chunky plastic. Sealy tools are a brand you can trust. It was my first time bleeding car brakes on my own. This pump made the job so easy. I used a blanket to protect the engine bay, just in case of leaks, but there were none. I replaced a caliper and double bled all 4 brakes. Simply attach to reservoir, add 1Ltr or fluid, pump up and then bleed each caliper in the correct sequence. No spills or leaks. Local garages charge £50-60 for a brake bleed, so this item will pay for itself, and I know know the job has been done properly.

After trying to bleed the clutch on my VW Golf mk4 with zero success I decided to try this. Brilliant. Super easy to use. Clear instructions. Made well and I had no issues with the seals as others have had. Recommended if you need to bleed your brakes or clutch.

Positives : this is so easy to use it made bleeding brakes by my self so quick and easy I will be continuing to use this and I recommend anyone to buy this helps detects leaks aswell as being able to bleed systems and has large capacity good quality for the price I would rebuy this is mine ever broke

It initially appeared to be of good build quality but I had trouble getting the filler cap to seal- it had to be done up really really tightCouldn't find anything that was causing it.This is something I would expect in the cheaper imitations available so Sealey dropped a star there.My car needed quite a bit of pressure on the dial to get the fluid running but it succeeded in removing some troublesome air bubbles from the new calipers that a Visibleed kit could not.Overall it made the job easy as you can concentrate on each caliper and not have to stop all the time and run around to the reservoir to make sure to not run out of fluid.

Bought this to bleed the brakes after a whole new rear brake setup on a Mercedes Sprinter, I've done brake jobs before and used the two person method. But thought I'd try this out and see how it went. For me the product was excellent, no leaks or having to add silicone grease to gaskets or tightening anything up as some reviews I read stated, it was basically out of the box working. I did pressure test the unit before filling it with brake fluid, and it held a constant pressure over a 10 minute period ( If you wish to do this don't attach the reservoir cap to the line, pump to 15 or so PSI and leave for 15 mins then check guage hasn't moved) which was a good start, I checked for other leaks with a spray bottle filled with water and washing up liquid and sprayed round the caps and found nothing. The build quality is excellent, If you follow a 2 year flush per service recommendation you'll be saving money around your second use, we are a two car household so it's already saved a couple of quid getting it done from the garage. The process is very straightforward, I filled with 1.5 litres of fluid. Used a turkey baster to remove 2/3 of the old fluid from the reservoir on the van. Opened bleed nipples on calipers and waited till no air bubbles present, tighten and job done, overall a very simple process, that's made doing fluid flushes easier with no need to get a second person to help you.

Excellent product (mine came with a free universal adapter too).Usage is pretty self explanatory but I would say the instructions could be worded a little clearer in a couple of places.I will also just mention three important points:First, I found that on the cap that connects to the vehicles brake fluid reservoir the tube part that goes into the reservoir needed trimming so that the tube stops at about the fluid max mark in the reservoir - otherwise, however I tried to depressurise, I ended up with fluid being drawn back into the bleeder bottle and then having to be put back into the reservoir again.Second, as I think has been said already, you can save on mess / clean up by just filling the brake fluid reservoir right up to the brim and not filling the bleeder bottle - do check the fluid level during bleeding as you won't be able to bleed all the system with one fill on most vehicles and also on the cap that connects to the vehicles brake fluid reservoir the tube part that goes into the reservoir needs removing completely to stop fluid being draw into the bleeder bottle (which defeats the point of doing it this way).Third, the instructions say to just drain the brake fluid out of the bleeder after use, this would be acceptable if you will be using it frequently however as I only use it occasionally I rinse it out using cold water after use and then thoroughly dry it, as the one time I left it with a very small amount of residue in the tubing I noticed upon going to use it again that the brake fluid had started to penetrate through the tubing and was making a mess.Overall I would recommend this over cheaper or for that matter more expensive setups.
