Hi,
I’ve not long had my abs actuator changed by a local garage. On the way back the brakes were nearly useless. I looked into the engine bay and it was covered in brake fluid with the abs pump running and making a racket. I managed to limp back and they apparently didn't tighten the high pressure house up correctly so it forced all the fluid out. They corrected this and did a brake bleed. This has sorted the issue but now my pump runs on every other brake application (before it was about every 4-6). The accumulator isn’t that old so I’m wondering if somehow air has made its way in and air locked it? Would this happen or would there be a vacuum holding the liquid in stopping this? Also would them doing a bleed purge this as I can only see one connection to the housing.
My other thought is it maybe something to do with the actuator leaking pressure to the lines somewhere but don’t have any other brake issues and no fluid loss.
