Bleeding Hicas

[twisted]

Just wondering on how to bleed the hicas on r32 gts-t. Just changed the power steering fluid, and bled the system by jacking the car up, and running the steering through slowly, but when I went for a drive the hicas is very twitchy now when driving in a straight line at 80kmh. Will it bleed itself over time (as hicas does not opperate constantly like power steering? Never used to be twitchy like this. Any help greatly appreciated.

Its always getting power steering fluid put thru it(to the best of my knowledge) so you wouldn't really need to bleed it... The best thing you can do is ditch the HICAS... its absolute shit..

I think there are 2 bleed nipples on rear rack. Might be worth a try as there could be an air lock in the system somewhere? When I replaced a pump recently - basically total system (front) had to be primed and everything was ok in rear before and after that.

But in long term, I agree with Josh.....

Yeah eventually I want to ditch it, but at the moment, to many things to spend money on:)

Thanks for that luckydip, I wondered if there where bleed points there, but have not been underneath to have a good look. Will have a look and see what happens.
