Worked a treat, great for hydraulic clutch pedals
Used on a Ford S-Max 2013, worked a treat. Sealed well on flud resevoir though cap seemed a touch to big at first it wasnt (didnt need/use little hose on the cap with this car as has the resevoir extension container thats very shallow).
NOTE - Do not just use the recommended pressure, CHECK YOUR MANUFACTURERS MAXIMUM PRESSURE FOR FLUID SYSTEM. The Ford S-Max system is only 15PSI MAX, much less than the generic / average suggested pressure in the instructions - going over YOUR cars max could ruin your ABS.
Otherwise, held pressure (make sure you do the dry test first) - just check fluid level and re-top up pressure for every wheel, dont skimp on fluid in the tank (or you could force air into your braking system).
Makes the bleed job for brakes and clutches so so mcuh easier, and better, easy for one person. Wish I ahd got one years ago!
Earned its cost back in one job.
Is annoying though it does not come with the other sized cap or universal cap - both can be bought serperately.Read full review...

Good product, but did leak pressure. Easy Fix.
As with other reviews of this item, it is good, but it did leak air, this one around the pressure gauge, a small o ring sorted it.
Bought knowing that it may leak air as they all seem to leak some were ! but it is other than the leak a well made item which now sorted and should give good service, which is why overall it is good quality.
I did also clean the cap tops of any excess plastic as an other review stated..
Best to pressure check first before use to find the leaks. Hope this helps someone. Read full review...

Quality Product
I bought this to bleed the brakes on my Golf Mk6 and was pleasantly surprised just how good it was. It’s well made and very easy to use with clear instructions. Had previously tried vacuum bleeding which wasn’t successful.
It would be even better if Sealey included a small plastic bottle and tube to connect to the bleed nipple. I had to find some suitable alternatives.
Overall very happy and will use again on my other cars.Read full review...

SEALEY VS820 with Pressure Release Valve
After reading Spec's for several Brands of these Pressure-Bleeding units, I eventually settled on this Sealey VS820, it is a Brand Name that I trust for quality. I have followed the Instructions to the Letter and Bled both of my BMW's, a: 3 series E46 330i Sports Tourer & a: 3 Series E36 323i Coupe'. I did a complete brake fluid flush and Bleed, (Including the Clutch slave cylinder's) on both vehicles. It's the first time ever that I've done a complete fluid change, only bled brakes the old fashioned way previously.
I had NO Problems at all. The Pressure Release Valve on this VS820 makes it easy to finish off too! The tube inside (good quality firm tubing) goes straight down inside the right side of the vessel, so once you've finished bleeding, the Master Cylinder reservoir is brimmed, just tilt the whole VS820 unit onto it's left side so that the tube bottom is out of the fluid, open the last bleed nipple again until the fluid level in the Master Cylinder is correct or just below Max, lock off the Bleed nipple, press the pressure release valve and remove VS820 cap from the master cylinder. Hold the VS820 cap up in the air to drain any fluid in the tube back into the main tank, and wipe any drips with a rag, job done!! All of the fittings on the Sealey VS820 scream quality, and I can recommend it without reserve. Hope this helps someone out there who has any doubts about the item. - 5***** Read full review...

Worthwhile but has some issues
I found this useful but in someways it’s not much better than the older type that work off a tyre. The master cylinder cap fits my newer cat but not my old one. The universal ones are not much good and the multi type sets are very expensive (though I did see another make much cheaper). I ended up having to buy a new Gunsons tyre type kit to get a suitable cap. Good that it holds plenty of fluid though and should give higher pressure for ABS systems if cap fits!Read full review...

makes a fiddly job easy.
Works really well. Makes the bleeding job truly one man. Read the instructions carefully and take note of the safety tips. Add a wipe of silicon grease to the rubber seals on the caps to make them easier to seal. Only downside is you need a fair amount of fluid in bottle to keep pickup pipe from getting air in, and that fluid is wasted if you are an infrequent user like me.Read full review...

great product good value
I brought bleeding kits before but this is the best so easy and simple to use and found value very good, certainly can recommend it as it can be very hard to find someone to help and with this you can do it on your own. Great item no leaks and works great and soon got my car up and running.Read full review...

Good quality and easy to use
Excellent product. I agree with the previous comments re quality feel. I've been using Gunsons Eezi-bleed for years and needed to replace or upgrade. This does away with having to reinflate tyres after use - which sounds a small inconvenience, but can be a real pain after a long bleed session or fluid change. It's much more expensive than Gunson's, but I've marked it as good value because other devices that work in the same way as the VS820 are even more expensive, yet the VS820 doesn't feel cheap.Read full review...

Very useful.
Always done my brakes the old fashioned way, or by gravity. The Sealey worked really well and was quick too. Cant vouch for durability but looks well made. Have read about the tubing decaying over time and can see this may be an issue in the future- it’s soft and pliable. The cap fits perfectly but won’t fit all cars. Probably used more brake fluid than I would do normally but it made sure I had a complete change. Overall, handy, useful tool added to my arsenal.Read full review...

Fair build quality and useful product
Useful product once you first check and tighten all the bits as air leaks can be frustrating. Build quality is ok but quality control on the assembly was lacking. All in all a good product
