Today I took the STE for a ride for the first time in a few months. Before I took it off the road, I replaced the accumuator and the abs light was still blinking. Today I noticed the fluid level was low so I topped it off. Every time I hit the pedal the brake light would come on and the brakes are still squishy. The abs light did not come on at all on my 20 minute ride until I parked the car with it running, and 10 mins later it started flashing. Shut it off, waited a little while and pulled it in the garage and the abs light was off. Could air in the system cause this? Or, any other ideas?

Also while driving I realized how much I miss hearing the turbo spooling and scaring neighborhood kids. 8)

did you bleed the brakes?

A full bleed is required after the Accumulator is replaced. There are tricks of the trade to do a PMIII properly. I don't have my book on hand...maybe one of the other guys can detail it for you... 8)

Check out Chris' site... www.turbogpgarage.com

I'm pretty sure the PMIII bleed procedure is on there somewhere 8)

hmm maybe a good bleeding would fix it. I hope it does, I want to start driving it again! You have no idea how happy and surprised I was when the abs light wasn't coming on.

Thanks for the help.

So you didn't bleed it after the accumulator install? 8)
