to get into the area where the clutch bleeder is... i can't believe you've not done the brakes yet! <grin>

you can use vagcom to cycle the ABS pump but i never bothered (yet) because i bled mine so frequently because the car was tracked so often...

I'm assuming the 225 and APR'ed 180's are the same

From service manual :


Ensure bleeder hose is correctly fitted during bleeding operation.

- Switch on bleeder appliance.
Working pressure 2.0 bar

- Open the bleed valve -arrow-.
- Bleed approx. 100 cm3 brake fluid.
- Close vent valve.
- Operate pedal 15 times from rest position to stop without interruption.
- Bleed another 50 cm3 brake fluid.
- Tighten vent valve to 4.5 Nm.
- Remove filling device from brake fluid reservoir.
- Operate clutch pedal several times after completing venting procedure.
- If necessary, vent once again

I pedal pumped mine to bleed

I have a pressure bleeder which gets used when no one is around to help with the brakes
