Re: Any Recent Develoments In The BTV Relacement Brake Pedal Front?

That is correct, the high pressure pump is located below the accumulator. I am quite happy with the system, I actually blew a fuse one day, (not due to the brake system) and from memory I had enough reserve power to use the pedal 3 or 4 times before I noticed the pedal getting quite hard to push, and while travelling on the hwy, I was able to safely bring the car to a stop at the side of the road.

I realise there are now a few different options available to replace the BTV, I have a friends who has just recently purchased a setup from ABS which is an upgraded version to my system. I am quite happy with this setup for my car.

I am not sure if the accumulator is a bosch system but I can check that out tomorrow and I will let you know. Also, as far as I know there was no special bleed procedure for the system. I have instructions on the bleeding procedure, so i'll dig those out and post the details.
