Do you really have to use Audi-branded grease?

Well, not that answered my question, but can't I just use regular lithium grease?

Default i wasnt too impressed with the condition of my slider pins

with the autozone cheapo brake grease. and since im planning to totally overhaul my brakes soon, which includes replacing the slider pins and bushings, i figured i'd use the factory lube as well.
new bushings waiting to go on:

Default No something is plugged ... luckily as that much pressure in the brake fluid tank will

usually split it.

Default I was questioning if you were getting 20 psi into the master cyl resevoir from the Motive

bleeder. 20 psi is way too much pressure for the resevior. I've read of several that split above 15 psi.
I am at a loss if neither pressure on the res side nor vacuum on the bleeder side gets past the master cylinder though. You could try it with the key on in case the ABS is somehow prevent flow .. though, IIRC, according to the Bentley's only ESP requires ABS involvement.

Default back away from the bleeder.

yeah i've used one, i own one

first, dont go above 12psi.

you dont need to worry about ABS unless you have ESP.

what i did:

put a 2x4 under the pedal, with the ignition off, press the pedal down and use a dowel rod to hold the pedal down. if you are bleeding the clutch, use another dowel rod to hold the pedal UP.

i used a industrial syringe from mcmaster to suck out as much fluid in the resevoir as possible. then, top off the resevoir with new fluid. then attach the power bleeder and pump to a max of 12psi.

attach bleed hose to brake caliper and open the bleeder. try tapping on the bleeder nipple.
