Default A4B5 Clutch/Brake Bleed Question: Since the clutch and brake systems share...

fluid (from what I have read), which should I bleed first, the clutch or the brakes?

I bought the car used, so I have no idea how old the fluid is. I'm going to flush out all the old. I know to start with the right rear caliper, but should I start there or with the clutch?

Thanks!

Default i do clutch first since you could screw something up when doing the clutch at last

and then have to do the brakes again. vs you do the clutch 1st and brakes 2nd you will have no issues.

Default thats wrong you go from farthest to nearest and clutch is nearest..

start with rear pass rear driver front pass front driver clutch thats the "proper" route to bleed your brakes and clutch.. and i dont think your going to screw up anything..
