[s-cars] refilling brake system

[Max Hoepli]

Just how does the old brake fluid look different from the old brake fluid as
the fluid is exiting the bleeders at the wheels?

Audi says pressure bleeder.  Start farthest from the reservoir and end
closest.  I use the pressure bleeder to do the clutch slave too.
   
  Pumping either pedal puts you in danger of having the piston travel
farther than normal, resulting in its seals encountering stuff in the
cylinder that might lead to damage.

  OK so it's been sitting a while, but I finally got my clutch slave
cylinder back on the cq last night and the line hooked back up. I've also
replaced the clutch master cylinder and all 4 brake lines at the wheels with
stainless, and rebuilt all 4 calipers. It's time to refill the system since
it's empty. Should I just open all the bleeder screws and start pouring
fluid in and wait? I know there's a procedure for bleeding the brakes, but
what about just filling the system full of new parts?

Any right or wrong?
