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.
