Abstract
The invention relates to a hydraulic unit for a vehicle brake system with ABS. Before being filled with brake fluid, the brake system must be evacuated in order to achieve complete bleeding. In order to evacuate a return line, which is separated from a brake line by pressure reduction magnet valves that are closed in their position of repose, it is known to provide a connecting line with a check valve between the brake line and the return line. The hydraulic unit connects the check valves in parallel to the magnet valves and integrates the check valves with the magnet valves. This simplifies assembly. Since no additional holes and conduits in the hydraulic unit are necessary, existing hydraulic units can be used.
