We cant understand it either. Pedals has no pressure at all. I didn't feel the blip personally as I was under the car bleeding. You know the score, pump, pump, pump, fluid comes with no air bubbles then you shout pedal down and tighten that corner off and move to the next. After all 4 corners done still no pressure.All with engine off, suggests air leak but we checked that at the unions and the pipes are all new copper.
