	Hi... Posting for a friend with a 1991 Jetta TD 310K Kms on it... and what he thinks may be the original brake fluid after doing his rear drums on the weekend. (it's black... and his car doesn't stop all that well - He did the GLI vented disk conversion up front, and with these new rear shoes he can lock the rear up... but he says his old Jetta, a 1990 TD could stop better - and my old 1991 Golf seemed like it could stop on a dime... until brake fade set in at least) He's done tons of work on various cars (worked in a garage for a while) but he said he never did a full system flush, and doesn't know the procedure... How is this done - vacuum pump? Let the lines drain out?... How do you tackle the fluid in the master cylinder? We went on to assume that once as fluid is drained you open the bleeder screws and bleed normally... just adding a LOT more fluid then for a normal brake job...

I think what you do is open the bleeder screws one at a time starting with the one farthest away (right rear), have a helper pump the pedal (it'll want to go to the floor but use short pumps like as in normal braking...don't push the pedal farther than you normally would in normal braking/driving), let the reservoir drain a little bit (but don't let air get in either...don't let the reservoir totally dry out) this first time so you have room to add clean fluid, add more fluid, pump some more, until the fluid coming out is clean. Tighten bleeder screw, repeat for left rear, right front, left front. Someone jump in if I misstated anything...thanks. I think the only other word of caution is that the bleeder screws can be frozen on older cars so don't force it. If if feels like you might snap it off you probably will. Get professional help if you feel you might do damage.

	Thanks to all that responded, the info has been passed on. Yah those rear brakes locking up... I spun my 91' Golf around in the rain the first time I drove it in the wet... Then I learned brake modulation...
