I have a problem after removing and replacing my ABS pump - we have bled the brakes (about 5L of fluid) and the pedal is still very, very spongy. I was looking to repeat the process, but this time with the ABS pump active as per the guidance and was looking at the iCarsoft BMM V2.0 to do this. I am struggling to find out if its ABS pump activation capability works on a MK1 Z3? Can anoyone with this device confirm if it is works on the Z3?
Thanks very much in advance.

If you have INPA, there is an option to bleed the ABS pump - I have done it before - you have to time it with the bleed nipple on the caliper - it's a bit vague now. It has to be done though.

The later pump will definitely allow an abs bleed with correct spftware.
The earlier pump less sire as it does nit communicate with a lot of reader software you need something a bit more old school to talk to it.
