Any insight into why this order? Diagonally opposites... kind of makes sense.
I've always been told to bleed furthest to closest to the reservoir (although with the location of the ABS pump, front left and rear left probably have shorter pipe runs than front right and rear right respectively)

The Audipages procedure uses a pressure bleeder and states using 10psi. Will the reservoir support 30psi (or 29.4 )?
Or does 2 bar mean absolute (so 1 bar above atmosphere)!

I bought a Mityvac vacuum bleeder (MV8000) to attack it from the caliper end. There are various versions of these pumps around, but Mityvac have a good trade reputation.
I paid about US$55 shipped from Amazon (click here). Just checked Amazon UK for the same item - £50, what a rip off!
