When you changed the brake hydraulics, did you split the circuits front and rear, or is this the car that received the dual triangular setup?

If it's the dual triangular setup, the bleed sequence isn't as simple as 'furthest to closest' (though that's the intuitive way). You'll find that the sequence provided in different publications doesn't match that in the factory books.

But anyway: point is: if it's dual triangular and you don't follow the proper sequence, you may well not have fully evacuated all the irritating little air bubbles.
