Yes, it's been bled wrong. I'd expect them to use a power bleeder on something like this. If they're doing it manually, the old fashioned way, it might be a lot harder to do.

They did say, before they started the job, that it would take 2 hours per corner, or if it was 2 hours totally, just to remove the air. I found it quite a long time but I don't know as I've never done it mysef, only been watching DYI videos for fun.

Nope, they’ll need to run the ABS pump whilst bleeding, I bet they didn’t!

Thanks! I can give them this as an advice to them.

A diagnostic device is required to activate the abs pump whilst bleeding the brakes .

Each time the abs pump is activated it will probably operate for about 30 seconds and when it stops then keep the bleed valve open until another 150ml of fluid has flushed out |

Need a correct type charger to fully charge the battery and then switch the charger to power supply mode when activating the abs pump for brake bleeding . Something that can supply 25 amps and preferably much more amps . Give the battery time to recover after bleeding each caliper . |
