Brake bleeding sequence

Post by gafonso10 »

Hi,

I'm going to change the brake fluid on my Scirocco 1.4 tsi 160cv, and i'm wondering what is the correct sequence for bleeding? I've read opinions saying i should go from nearest to farthest away from the deposit but also some opinions it should be the other way around. So, whats is the correct way of doing it? Does it make really any difference?

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to say my driver wheel is on the left side. Does it make a difference?

It applies to both LHD (left hand drive) & RHD vehicles.
