Default Bleeding anti-lock brakes with Vag Com

Does anyone know if the Vag Com system can aide in bleeding the brakes by opening the valves to permit flushing of the unit? Coming from the BMW realm I had to flush the system several times while activating the ABS in between to flush the old fluid out of the valving.

I know that BMW had a way to open the system up during the bleeding process and was hoping the Vag Com could offer that option.

3 more weeks!

Yes, it does. We did it with my B6 S4 and my Dads A8.

I'll see if I can dig up the instructions, since I was researching this not to long ago for my own needs...

Edit: Here are the instructions for older VAG cars.
It's probably similar in the newer ones too.
