#1: Bleeding Circuit Advice needed Author: 206-GTi, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Aug 24, 2010 1:16 pm ---- Will be changing my passenger rear caliper shortly and was wondering the process of bleeding the circuits correctly.
I know the normal sequence is:
Passenger front left-hand wheel
Driver front right-hand wheel
Passenger left hand rear wheel
Driver right hand rear wheel
As I did it about 2 months ago.
Can I not just bleed the new caliper first and leave it at that?
Whats the best way to tackle this?

I would also do all four corners at the same time. Also before you drive after make sure you pump the brake pedal to make sure there working.

So Drivers rear, Passenger rear, Driver Front, Passenger Front?
I keep thinking it would make sense to bleed the new caliper first then bleed in sequence? The one line that will defo have air in is the new caliper line.

Always start furthest away from the master cylinder, so on a 206 go drivers side rear, then passenger rear then driver side front then passenger side.

Thats what I have always thought but Pug say different (according to the service manual and haynes) and peps on here, tricky one!
