[urq] I found the Phil Paynes write up on bleeding brakes.

I don't think I'm allowed to put the url here.   He mentions the MityVac,  that must be the brand to buy.

My experience of changing brake fluid in a quattro is do it with an auto bleeder that does not involve pumping the pedal. If you try the same way as normal cars you will never get a firm pedal. Use a bleeder that either pressurises the system or draws it through (preferable) using vacuum. There is an order to do each corner in but I can't recall it. I know it is on Phil Paynes excellent website (isham research). But fs you do the pump pedal method with your wife you'll end up blaming her for the soft pedal, dinner won't get cooked and washing won't get done and it could all end horribly :-)
Hope this helps

I'm going to see if I can get the wife to work the brake pedal while I move some fresh DOT 4 into the system.   Same process as any other car?
