Changing Attessa Fluid, Run Into Some Problems. Help!

[beRwick_GTRage]

hey everyone

recently finished putting an rb25neo into my r32 gts4. ive had the car running and idling but havnt driven it.

before i tried changing the attessa fluid the bottle in my boot and the rest of the system had no oil in it.

i folowed this DIY:http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R32-Gtr-Attessa-Fluid-t102731.html

filled the bottle with fluid, bled the nipple on the pump and unplugged the plug in the passenger footwell

but when i tried bleeding from the nipple on the back of the gearbox my attessa pump wouldnt start.

i also tried bleeding it with the engine running.

should i be able to hear the pump running?

my 4wd light is lit up on the dash.

any ideas?

thanks

The pump does turn off once it's reached a certain pressure in bleed mode (about 10 on the in- dash gauge in my car). It will start again once the pressure has dropped. It will also shut itself off after about 10 seconds (I think) of continual running to protect itself from burning out as it's not meant to run continuously. However, my 4WD light doesn't come on in bleed mode (R32 GTR) so check your attessa computer (in the boot parcel shelf?) to see if it's flashing any codes.

You should not need to have the car running, have you checked the fuses?

Once the ignition is on the ATTESA pump should start, only run it for a brief period of time before switching it off and giving it a break then repeat

Can i run the car in rwd without any fluid in the attessa system?

i guess if your running in RWD and the attessa system isn't operating then it shouldn't matter if there isn't fluid in it.
