[A4] Brakes & Rotors Update

[Arthur Marks]

In the routine maintenance chapter the Bentley manual for the A4 (B6) 
doesn't say anything about the abs for bleeding the brakes.

Says to use fluid that "corresponds to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4".
Fill pressure of 1 bar should not be exceeded (14.5 psi).

Then bleed:
1. clutch (if manual)
2. RR
3. RL
4. FR
5. FL
Also says to extract 0.4 - 0.5 liters from each caliper (only .1 from the 
clutch)

Why would the A4 be any different than any other car?  You shouldn't
have to use the vagcom to cycle the abs pump unless you want to make
sure ALL of the old fluid is out or you are replacing bits to the actual
ABS system.  Otherwise the standard pressure bleeder is fine, and work
from the furthest away wheel to the closest.  Someone correct me if I am
wrong.
