Single circuit, always furthest away from m/c first. Dual circuit front/rear split VW says front circuit first, then rear, in both cases do the further point from the m/c first. For changing fluid, it's back to the furthest rear first! I have seen mention of difficulty pressurising the m/c for the rear bleeding if the front circuit is soft. I guess for refilling it's not as critical. Plenty of people have always bled the furthest away first without problems, so it may be something that you just need to do if it's not bleeding properly. With the newer diagonally-split systems on w/c VWs, it's back to the old way anyway. Dave.

When bleeding the cylinders, do you start farthest away from the master or closest? I've read two seperate responses. Bentley says further and I trust it like bible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
