I use the "flush until the fluid looks good" method. Or cheat and use a different colored fluid.

Default "brake" --- use vag to cycle abs pump then bleeding is one man job - use extension on serial cable
remember to keep adding fluid.

this way worked great for me - i do it with the car running

Default There are more of us out there that do this ^^^
It seems to work. I'll know when my brakes go out that I'm doing it wrong.
