Default Brake Fuild Replacement VAG-com?

I am getting ready to replace the brake fuild (using a Motive Bleeder) and am unclear as to whether I need to use the Vag-Com to cycle the EPS / ABS pump. My 2006 A4 1.8T FWD Cab has ABS and EPS. At least one post suggests that EPS / ABS pump should be cycled in earlier versions of the A4, but not necessary in the B7.

Your help is appreciaed.

Default Cycling the ABS pump isn't necessary for a routine bleeding.

It'd only be required if for some reason you have air in the ABS hardware, for example, after installing a new ABS pump.

Thanks for the response. Is cycling the ABS pump unnecessry because the amount of fluid in the ABS pump so minor as to make the amount left immaterial?
