enter in the bleeding menu and hawkeye will lead you;) ...but if you replaced only the pipes you dont necessarily need hawkeye, normal(pedal) bleeding is enough

i have one but never needed it for bleeding brakes,presumably you clamped the flexi or bunged pipe to stop air entering so only one corner needed bleeding

I've done this a fair bit but it was a while ago. My Hawkeye had V4 software and I don't remember there being a "bleeding menu".

Using Hawkeye you can fire up the ABS pump and I think the route is BCU/ABS/ABS relay. Once you find the ABS relay setting you'll need someone at each corner to open and close the bleed screw.

When you are ready and with the master cylinder full of clean fluid (you've sucked out the old black stuff haven't you!!), pipe on the bleed valve and into a container, get your mate to open the bleed screw while you press and hold the button to actuate the pump. It'll make some funny noises but just keep on until clean fluid runs out. Then onto the next corner.

Be sure to use the correct sequence of corners. Not sure but I think on DII it goes nf/of/nr/or.

Make sure you have plenty of fluid in stock. If you decide to do the whole lot (and why wouldn't you it's sooooh easy and thorough) you'll need at least 2x400ml of Dot 4.

Good luck and Merry Christmas

Darren what processusing the hawkeye did u use

Ive got air in my system pumped loads throughand still spongy pedal and thought this might be worth a go
 
Sub heading abs then go through until you find brake bleed it then tells you which one to do first so just follow instructions I had a little problem with rear drivers side took a few tries before it started to come through without air did the others then did the back one again
