Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Some makes and models allegedly have a specific order (and not all cars have the master cylinder on the driver’s side) but it’s always worked for me.

As a rule of thumb, on any car, I start furthest from the master cylinder and work my way towards it. It’s always worked fine. Bear in mind the rear lines are longer and the front calipers hold more fluid, so each corner needs a varying amount of flushing through. Some makes and models allegedly have a specific order (and not all cars have the master cylinder on the driver’s side) but it’s always worked for me.

Furthest away from master cylinder is rear right on 996. Rear right Rear left Front right Front left Outside bleed nipple first. MC

Thanks for the replys, yes in my past the furthest has been the first, but as this is first Porsche I have done, I thought I would ask all the same.

I always carefully empty the reservoir of old fluid with a syringe and top up with fresh, save having to pump the old stuff through. If doing the old fashioned method, pressing the pedal while opening / closing the bleed nipples, dont push the pedal fully to the floor. Sometimes there is a wear ridge that can damage the seals - with normal pressure in the system the pedal wouldn’t get this far. Its worth doing the clutch as it shares the same reservoir. (Manual boxes only )

As above advice. It's really worth investing a pressure bleed system (not the Gunson type) but the ones where to pressurise a container with the new brake fluid and this connects to the master cylinder cap. All you need to do is open each bleed nipple in turn (platis pipe attached into a jar) and the new fluid is forced through. Saves a load of time and can be done single handed.
