FAQs
Is this kit suitable for all car brands?
No, the Laser 7069 kit is specifically designed and optimized for VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles. It may not fit or be effective on other car makes.
Can I bleed brakes by myself using this kit?
Yes, the design of this kit, with its improved access and secure hose connection, facilitates single-person brake bleeding. You will still need a suitable container for the old fluid.
What is the advantage of 'pass-through' sockets?
Pass-through sockets allow the center of the socket to be threaded over the bleed nipple, with the ratchet mechanism engaging the outside flats. This design, combined with the kit's overall form factor, allows for better access and often avoids the need to remove wheels.
How do I remove the ratchet head from the handle?
Use the included 3mm hex key. Insert it into the designated slot on the handle where it connects to the ratchet head and turn to release the head.
What material are the sockets and ratchet made from?
The sockets and ratchet head are manufactured from durable chrome vanadium steel for strength and resistance to wear.
What is the diameter of the bleed hose?
The silicone bleed hose has an outside diameter (OD) of 6.5mm and an inside diameter (ID) of 4mm.
How does this compare to the OEM tool VAS 6564?
The Laser 7069 is designed to be equivalent to the OEM tool VAS 6564, offering similar functionality and specifications for VAG vehicles.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit bleed nipple.
Ensure you are using the correct size socket for your VAG vehicle. The kit includes a 7mm hex and several 11mm single hex sockets of varying lengths. Consult your vehicle's manual if unsure.
Ratchet head is difficult to engage.
Ensure the bleed nipple is clean and free of debris. The pass-through design requires the socket to fully seat onto the nipple. Ensure adequate clearance around the caliper.
Bleed hose leaks at the nipple.
Ensure the bleed hose is securely fitted onto the bleed nipple. Check the condition of the hose for any cracks or damage. Replace the hose if it appears worn.
Ratchet mechanism feels stiff.
Clean the ratchet head and mechanism with a dry cloth. Avoid applying lubricants unless specifically designed for such tools, as they can attract dirt. If stiffness persists, consider professional servicing.
