So I just got my H3 back from the shop. Turns out that there was a huuuuuuge air lock in the lines. Even though I poured at least half a litre of DOT3 in to the reservoir, it didn't go anywhere. Even though I bled the lines according to the attached manual excerpts, I still could not get all the air out. Apparently, it too opening up all of the bleeders (buckets underneath) and letting a combination of gravity and gentle pressure from the pedal to get all of the air out. And about 3 hours of back and forth to insure all four corners were good.

The owner of the shop is also an H3 owner and I was in very good hands. He went through a bunch of problematic things he noticed with mine and gave me tips to fix these things. Great guy.
