I am quite pleased with the $50 pressure brake bleeder I bought from Performance Parts , I posted the brand name a while back and someone else found it OnLine cheaper....
It really is the way to go , once you try it , you'll ne hooked for life .
I don't fill it with brake fluid , I just use it to pressureize the system to 3 # and add fluid to the MC as needed .
This should be done every two years or whenever your fluid turns black if that occurs in less than 24 months .

> I have a question about changing the brake fluid in my '91 350SD. I have always gone about this by having an assistant (annoyed teen-aged daughter) pump the brake pedal while I collected the fluid at the various bleed screws. The shop manual for the car seems to prefer using some kind of machine for this if you have the anti-lock brakes (which I do).
> I also have a 2001 Passat with anti-lock which I have always used the pedal-pump method with no ill effects. It looks like getting a power bleeder makes the procedure easier, however (see comment about daughter). So any thoughts as to whether pedal pumping would be a bad thing for this car? Any power bleeders to recommend?
