I have a 2002 Acura TL. Types S vehicle, I bled the front right break fluid, which came out smoothly, but the left side has barely any fluid, so I'm thinking that there is a problem with line. Also my breaking system has no pressure build up in the breaking system, so there is no way to stop the car, what can cause this situation. Also what is the estimate to change front left break line?

you may have to rent a brake bleeding system from a rental store, and you need to make sure the brake line is the problem, as they are not that old, that you should have to replace them. And its not a good idea to do one side, you should always do both same with the calipers, doing one side can cause problems sounds like you need more tools and an instruction manual, I suggest before doing anything else, you get a shop repair manual and read it first ok? This is going to help you a lot more than anything else thats happening right now. best of luck, sometimes a little extra help makes the job go smoother, and work out correctly too.

Brakes are important, like life or death important, not only for you and your passengers but also other road users and their passengers. The problem you have could be a brake line (very unlikely) a proportioning valve (possible) a master cylinder fault (not likely) or as the other comment said a blocked bleeder (fairly likely) but the only way to know for sure is to take it to a professional so they can find out for sure. It might cost more but there is no price that can be put on lives. Price for brake line depends on cost of part and what country you are in. The best thing to do is ring around garages and compare prices.

you have air interior the brake hoses. you'll be able to desire to 'bleed' the brakes. This demands 2 human beings. One loosens the bleed nipple. the different one slowly depresses the brake pedal. while fluid starts to return out of the nipple, straight away tighten it up, mutually as the different individual retains the stress on the pedal. suitable up the fluid interior the reservoir, and repeat this on all wheels. in case you have been utilising around for a mutually as, some air might have moved up the pipes, so which you'll be able to might desire to try this a pair of situations until eventually now you get it suited

I would bet and give you long odds you don't have a bad line. You simply don't know the proper procedure to bleed brakes. You still have air in the lines. Be safe hire someone knowledgeable to bleed the system. It'll still be cheaper than replacing the steel brake line.

first off check for leakes . what would cause this problem is either a leak or air in the system re bleed them always start from the furthest away from ur master cylinder and work back to the nearest i think ur problem is air in the system

The bleeder screw is probably plugged in the left caliper. That you don't know this is a good reason to take it to a mechanic.
