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 :)

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
