there is a bleed point at the bottom of the pump. there is an access hole underneath for the bleed nipple

there is also another one next to where the attesa line bolts to the attesa unit on the back of the transmission, right above the chunk of weights. be VERY careful of the prop shaft if you do it with the engine running

To bleed the forward nipple you will require a small piece of rubber tube to put on the end I the nipple, helps not to make a big mess, a 10mm spanner and 3 people.

The first person will sit in the car, his job will be to just pull out the ODB2 cable and unplug the single wire plug inline with the rest of the loom about 10cm up. Then all he will be doing is turning the ignition to the reds.

2nd person will be under the car, I just jacked up the rear and the nipple can be reached from the drivers side. Undo the nipple as far as you can with out taking it out completely and put a container underneath.

Last person will be in the boot of the car topping up the Atessa resivour as it is pumped out. The fluid will drain quite quick.

Then it's simply a matter of you turning the car on and letting the pump run bleeding the system keeping the resivour topped up as you go. I bled until there was no more air and ended up with about 2L of fluid in my bucket as my fluid was also a funny color so I wanted it all nice and red.. Then while the pump is still running close the nippe off and tighten.

The rear nipple is on the pump and bleeds via gravity so its just a matter of undoing it and letting it drain for a min then tighten.

I used Matic D.

Hope this helps :)

    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in

    • Hell yeah. It's not as if the path from front to rear is particularly squirrelly or otherwise difficult.
