I've got me some new bits to fit. :drool:

Anyway i'd like to know the best way to get all the old fluid out in order for me to do the change efficiently. I've got 3 500ml bottles to bleed them again.

And as i understand it the bleeding process is

RF
LR
LF
RR

For a RHD EK9.

Thanks in advance
 
start bleeding from the nearest to the furthest from the master cylindar iirc

RF
LF
RR
LR

i think

someone please confirm
 
No Ian was right with his first post!:secret:

If you have access to a pressure bleeding kit, use that as i have always found i get slight better results using that!:nice:
 
when training as a mechanic we were taught to start from the furthest from master cylinder to nearest.

Yup thats the order that i've always done it

NSR
OSR
NSF
OSF

If it is for fitting new calipers ( ;) ) then as mentioned, get some cheap halfords dot 4 and flush it through with that to get rid of bubbles in the system and then use the decent stuff after, means the decent stuff should only have fluid to displace and not air :naughty:

or in reverse for some vac systems. I'd advise against mixing fluids. Always better to flush with the same fluid your intending to use.
 
lol might be a stupid question but what do the NSF and OSF and all them mean ??
 
NS - Near Side, passenger side of the car

OS - Off Side, drivers side of the car

F for front

R for rear
