Positive Experience - V-12 DIY

I am in the process of restoring a 34 year old BMW motorcycle and had to replace all the components of the front brake system. Since I work alone, I was concerned about having to bleed the system by myself. The V-12 was an easy set-up. I first used the Reverse bleed method to fill the system and then the Vacuum method to finalize the bleed. It was a surprisingly easy and clean process. The V-12 has eliminated the anxiety I had about brake bleeding.

Shade Tree Mechanic I've pump'd, pump'd hold for lotsa years. I broke down and bought a MityVac but it didn't perform the way I needed it to. I recently ran across the Phoenix System and gave it a try. WOW, to think of what I've been missing. I recently replaced brake lines on my bike and filled the system in a matter of minutes. Immediately I had lever pressure. Within 3 traditional bleeds the system was a max pressure. If'ya tired of wasting endless hours on building pressure, give this unit a try.

Pheonix V12 bleeder the fix

Just wanted to tell you how well the V12 solved my brake bleeding issues! I had to replace the MC on my 1996 Tahoe. I bled it on the vehicle (or so I thought!) before hooking up the lines and then my nightmare started! Because of the ABS manifold all of the prior methods I used would not work. The pedal went straight to the floor. Even called the local shop and Chevy dealer and neither could give me a straight answer on what it would cost or how much time it would take to get it done. So I knew they didn't have a sure fire solution. After doing some searching online I found your product, and it made perfect sense to me. I used the V12 to reverse bleed the system and then to pressure bleed from the reservoir down to the calipers. I Did this method two times and now the pedal is rock hard. I also tried the vacuum method from the caliper but found that there was too much leakage from the bleeder threads for it to be affective. So after weeks of my truck sitting in the garage I was able to get great results in a few hours with the V12. This is a great product that does what it says!

This kit is very easy to use, and the attachments for the different bleeder screws are great. Truly a one-person job now.

I was waiting a long time for this and now that I got it I find it a better habit to bleed my brakes more often now.

Reviewed by Jason C (Freeville, NY) 1996 Volkswagen Jetta — Dec 14, 2011 8:43 AM
I was initially disappointed with this product. The paper instructions did not make it clear what all the different parts were for, and in fact I think it referred to a different model. The drawings were small and not clear. It has a DVD, which I did not view. Perhaps that is more thorough and clear. The brake fluid bottle adapter sort of worked. The hand pump sort of worked too - once filled with fluid, I had to manually retract the handle after every stroke, since the spring couldn't do it. This was awkward and pretty much took two hands. The Luer fittings are prone to unscrewing and falling off. The plastic pump handle seems strong enough, but the pivot is likely to wear out if you use it a lot. But in the end it did the job beautifully and in about 15 minutes, where hours of pedal pumping had not. The bleeder valve fitting fit nicely and did not pop off or leak.

Follow instructions or you will need to do the bleed again. If you release the handle too quickly to get new fluid into the handle it will cause air bubbles to form and re-introduce air into the system. Release slowly after a the slow and steady squeeze. Besides that it works as advertised. If I had to buy again, I would splurge for the Metal Pro version.

Wasn't as perfect as they made it out to be but it still did the job. Had to do the final bleeding the conventional way because I kept getting air in even when burping it like the video said. Also useful for filling up differentials and transmissions.
