So, before you spend a good deal of money may I ask is this a normal brake bleed/flush or did you replace ABS parts?
This is just a normal brake fluid flush and bleed. About 2 years ago I replaced rotors and pads on all wheels and flushed the brake fluid. About a week ago I flushed the fluid again.
After both flushes the pedal felt a bit squishy-- it takes a bit of travel before engaging the brakes. I'm assuming that's due to air in the brake lines, and since I did a bleed, I'm assuming it's air in the ABS.
From what I've read, other possible sources of air in the system are the flexible brake lines and maybe the master cylinder, but I don't know how to tell if there's a problem there.
I figured that if there was a scan tool that would bleed the ABS then I could do that and see if it fixed the problem.

Just be aware that a legitimate PIWIS system is a lease only item, first year nearly $20,000.
That's a little above my budget. 🙂 I did some reading on this forum and elsewhere and see that there's an option to get a PIWIS on an SSD and install onto a PC as a Virtual Machine. I think that would work for me, but I can see lots of potential for problems in getting things set up and working.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Hello,
Does anyone know of a scan tool that supports ABS bleeding on a 2009 Cayenne? I know that Durametric, iCarSoft, and Foxewll NT530 do not.

Mine may be the LOWEST!
2005 987S, new July 05, current mileage 4400, too much time spent on my BMW and Ducati bikes. :D
987S may be for sale, any interest?

Thanks for the warnings. I'm not sure if I want to try that or not. Ultimately I just want a firm brake pedal. 🙂
