Just an FYI, bleeding audi brakes with a mighty vac could prove frustrating 
for some, especially those with 3 channel abs systems.  The rear center 
mounted pressure limiter (to prevent locking of the inside wheel during 
braking and turns) has a tendency to prevent you from using vacuum bleed 
methods on the rear brakes.  I've had to do a couple of rescues from area 
shops because of this.

Brake bleeding should be done with either a pressure bleeder, or the "stomp 
and crack" method, both are better than using vacuum.  BTDT.  That said, the 
Mighty Vac is a great *diagnostic* tool for any audi toolbox.
