Greetings Audinauts,

The plethora of questions continues... have been giving the '86 5ktq some r=
oad use while I try to sort the emissions problems and whatnot. Having driv=
en it a bit now, I note that sometimes the brake pedal acts a little odd- i=
t's never spongy, really, but it's harder some times than others. Sometimes=
 at parking speeds it feels like it might be dragging slightly. Before I te=
ar into replacing everything in the brake system (grin) I figure I'll bleed=
 out the brakes until all the fluid is new...
What with the hydraulic assist and the ABS, are there any serious gotchas i=
n bleeding the brakes? I've done it countless times, even on my old 5kt, bu=
t that didn't have ABS. Thinking just use DOT 4 and get a helper to pump th=
e pedal- is there more to it than that?

Thanks again!
Rob
