Morning mates thank you very much on the advice for my heater...i have another issue with my brake system. I recently changed the axle in my Audi A3 1.8 8L 2000 model, now I'm struggling with bleeding process and i don't have the power bleeder or any special tool but my buddy to pump pedal. Any advice on how we should go about. TIA

First use a pressure bleeder (Gunsons eezi bleed or similar) as the pedal method can over extend the master cylinder and damage the seals
The rears can take an age to bleed due to the length of the run but bleed from the furthest caliper on the rear which on a RHD car is off side rear as ABS is on the nearside...
Typical pattern for a full bleed is OSR, NSR, OSF, NSF then the master cylinder itself...
Also don't forget to bleed some fluid though the clutch as it shares the same reservoir and while less critical for water absorption the fluid may not have been changed for some time...
