Bleeding braking system Descripti on cov ers bleeding of br ake system using the brake fill er and bleeder tool VAS 5234 and V.A.G 1869 . Note:
Bleeding the braking system on vehicles with ABS is carried out as for vehicles with conventional braking systems. Only use new brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4. Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification. Brake fluid is poisonous. Also due to its corrosive effect brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the ambient air and should always be stored in air tight containers. Rinse off spillages, by using plenty of water.
There must b e a posi tiv e pressure of 2 bar to bleed the hydraulic unit. Brake system, bleeding usin g brake fill er and bleeder tool VAS 5234 Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Note:
On vehicles with EDL, EDL/ASR or EDL/ASR/ESP, the brake system must be pre-bled when a chamber in the brake fluid reservoir is completely empty (e.g. brake system leaking).
- Remove rear wheels. Pre-bleed:
- Connect Brake filler/bleeder unit VAS 5234 . Bleeding sequence: 1 - Bleed left front and right front brake caliper together simultaneously 2 - Bleed left rear and right rear brake caliper together simultaneously - With bleeder bottle hoses attached, leave bleeder valves open long enough that brake fluid exits without bubbles. The hydraulic unit must be bled again with tester VAS 5051 via function "Basic settings" .

In this way, brake lines can be inexpensively partially replaced in certain cases. Work with brake line kit V.A.B. 1356 is not permitted because of the coating and diameter of black brake lines. Note:
Brake lines must not be bent more than 90 , otherwise they kink or deform causes unacceptable constriction in the line. Disconnect brake lines preferably at vehicle floor. Position of intermediate pieces should be selected so that they cannot rub against moving parts. Do not lubricate spindle, clean only with mineral spirits.
