On our Audis, I use a MityVac hand-pumped pressure bleeder to change out the brake fluid. I don't use my VCDS to bleed the brake system and have never had a problem with this method.

Found this.
BLEED ABS PUMP
Procedure for Bleeding the ABS Brake Pump on VW Passat and Audi A4/S4, A6/S6, and A8/S8:
Ignition ON.
[Select] [03 - ABS Brakes]
[Basic Settings - 04] Group 002 [Go!]
This will trigger the ABS pump to turn on for about 10 seconds. You should hear the fairly loud pump clicking during this time.
Click the [Done, Go Back] button and you're all set.

I have changed my front calipers and the fluid ran dry.

VCDS connected, ignition on, performed the [Select] [03 - ABS Brakes]
[Basic Settings - 04] Group 002 only to get a message (ERROR, NOT AVAILABLE).
WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP ?
