[200q20v] Brake bleeding

[Edward J Kellock]

Just bled x2 yesterday.  My V8q 5spd and Tim's 94 S4.
Bleed clutch until you get clear fluid.  A clear bleed hose
helps with this immensly.  Then passenger rear, driver's
rear, passenger front, driver's front.  Each time, bleed until
fluid in hose is clear.  We used a pressure bleeder that
Tim made.  It is a pump-up garden sprayer, an inline
hand valve, a pressure gauge and a used brake reservoir
cap with a tire vavle in it.  The inline hand valve allows
you to control how much pressure is applied to the brake
reservoir.  We've used this rig several times with no
complaints.  We maintain pressure at no more than 20 psi.
