Re: Vacuum Bleeder Recomendations

Some cars, Like VW for example, don't have a "front" and "rear" of the master cylender. They cross each other, like an X. So left front and right rear work on one bank of the master cyl and right front and left rear work on the other. Those kind of car you have to bleed the brakes in that manner and flush them that way too.

"Diagonal split systems were used initially on American Motors automobiles in the 1967 production year. The right front and left rear are served by one actuating piston while the left front and the right rear are served, exclusively, by a second actuating piston (both pistons pressurize their respective coupled lines from a single foot pedal). If either circuit fails, the other, with at least one front wheel braking (the front brakes provide most of the speed reduction) remains intact to stop the mechanically-damaged vehicle. Just before 1970, diagonally split systems had become universal for automobiles sold in the United States."

I don't know if ABS and dual MC make a difference. But http://www.moparmagazine.com/2011/may-jun/bleeding_brakes.html portrays the same thing: "The following sequence should be followed: • Left rear wheel • Right front wheel • Right rear wheel • Left front wheel "

Thanks,
