1100 European Bleeder Adapter – 45 mm ATE-Style Threaded Cap
The Motive Products 1100 European Bleeder Adapter is the foundation of one-person brake service on European cars. The 45 mm ATE-style threaded design seals on the most common European master-cylinder caps for fast, leak-free, pressurized brake or clutch bleeding when paired with any Motive Power Bleeder tank. Already own a tank? This adapter is all you need. Starting from scratch? Grab the complete 0100 European Power Bleeder Kit instead.

- Peugeot and many other European applications
Verify your reservoir cap profile against the Motive Application Guide before ordering.

How to Use
Thread the 1100 adapter onto a clean master-cylinder cap, snap your Motive tank's quick-disconnect onto the adapter, pressurize to 15–20 psi, and bleed each caliper in sequence. Achieve a firm pedal feel and improved brake responsiveness without dealership tools or a second mechanic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the 1100 adapter fit?
The 45 mm ATE-style thread fits most European master-cylinder caps — Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, water-cooled VW, Volvo, Saab, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Ferrari, and Peugeot. Confirm your cap against the Application Guide before ordering.
Do I need a Motive Power Bleeder tank to use this adapter?
Yes. The 1100 is an adapter only — it connects a Motive Power Bleeder tank to your reservoir. If you don't have a tank yet, buy the complete 0100 European Power Bleeder Kit, which includes this adapter.
What's the difference between the 1100 and the 0109 Black Label adapter?
The 1100 is an anodized aluminum threaded cap adapter. The Black Label version (included with the 0109 kit) is a premium billet adapter with a swivel connection for easier hose routing in tight engine bays.
Can I bleed a hydraulic clutch with it?
Yes. Most European hydraulic clutches share the brake fluid reservoir, so the same adapter and tank bleed the clutch slave cylinder just like a brake caliper.
What pressure should I use?
15–20 psi is right for nearly all vehicles. Watch your tank gauge and keep it in that range for a controlled, leak-free bleed.
