How are car's hydraulic systems bled at the factory?
Stuff like brakes and clutch. Also radiator burp.
This is a tedious process at home so i assume manufacturers have a quick way to do this? |
Not sure if serious. Its easier than your an00s

That's a very good point. They can't have two technicians sitting around bleeding all that crap... probably some sort of vacuum system. Possible hooked up to the MASSIVE compressed air system all shops and assembly lines have.
|
So you guys are talking about doing it alone only then?
Because with 2 people it takes all of 5 minutes to bleed the clutch/brakes. And burping the cooling system doesn't even require 2 people. |
Reverse "bleed" where they fill from the lowest point to the top. I do it on my cars when a line goes dry, it's awesome and requires no pumping of pedals.

That should work for brakes and clutch, but not so much for coolant, right? Aren't there a few high spots in hoses and in the head that would hold bubbles until the car runs the first time, then they would get pumped to the top of the radiator? I'm sure it's pretty easy, however they do it, I've just never thought about it.

vacuum filling could work better, yes. And a little air will make its way out after a couple driving cycles anyway.
I would love to tour a car factory. Too bad nobody makes any cars in Maine. |
