Anyone confirm it is ok to flush brakes old-fashioned way?

I do not have a power bleeder nor do I want to put one together. I was thinking. Turkey baster, poor some new stuff in, open the bleed valves let them drip, continually add new stuff until it is all blue. Not sure how I will do the clutch yet.

yeah, you can do it that way, its not really totaly effective with an ABS pump, but it will work, but be sure to keep and eye on the fluid level, if it sucks in air, your fucked.

Just don't make the mistake of pumping the pedal while the car is on. Boris blew out some seals doing that.

off. I know to put something under the pedal so it doesnt go all the way down. Do I need to bleed the clutch too? how do I do that?

Find someone with a power bleeder. No other method gets all the old fluid out, without risking getting some air in your lines.

I rented a system from kragen. the master caliper set as well. hehe i should be fine. im gonna see the blue in the lines so it should be clear when I get the old stuff out.

racing blue fluid all the way:) and whats the master caliper set?

with my VR6 Corrado, all you had to do was turn the car on and the ABS pump would force enough pressure through the system to bleed it without needing to touch the pedal.

Haven't tried that with the R32, have a power bleeder now.
