Bleeding brake system Bleeding the brake system is described for brake filling and bleeding equipment -VAS 5234- and -V.A.G 1869-.   Note t  Bleeding brake system on vehicles with ABS is performed in same way as vehicles with a conventional brake system. t  Only use new brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4. t  Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification. t  Brake fluid is poisonous. Also due to its corrosive effect brake fluid must not come into contact with paintwork. t  Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the ambient air and should therefore always be stored in air tight containers. t  Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water. A pre-pressure of 2 bar is required for bleeding the hydraulic unit.
