Thanks for that link. Just read it and it seems reasonably easy.

VCDS is only needed to cycle the ESP pump if the system has been opened in that area or drained. For a straight fluid change it doesn't need to be done. The sequence is different for cars with ESP though:

1 - rear left
2 - front right
3 - rear right
4 - front left
The link that Regulus gave mentions doing the front left first because it has the shortest run. If I just substitute the order you've given instead, that should be okay? From what it says, it just seems to be the quickest way to drain the reservoir to the lowest level.
