How’s it going people.

Looking for some advice on doing a brake fluid flush on the 8P RS3. Tried a search but not much luck.

I don’t know what fluids in the car at the moment but will be putting in RBF 600 DOT 4 fluid.

The reason for the flush is I will be fitting new discs & pads all round including fitting HEL brake lines, so decided to completely flush out any old fluid from the system.

I’ll be using a pressure bleeder.

1. Do I need to bleed the master cylinder/run the ABS pump when doing the fluid change? Or just do the calliper bleed nipples only?

2. What is the recommended order to bleed each calliper?

Thanks

PS: I’ve bled VAG brakes before but never a complete flush.
 
Just normal tbh, just use a pressure unit 20psi & make sure plenty of fluid, bless through nipples, as long as you don't empty the abs unit, you'll be fine.
