Default Brake bleeding sequence for ‘95

I've read that the brake bleeding sequence for C4's varies depending on model year. My Chilton’s manual says the brake bleeding sequence for my ’95 is RR, LR, RF, LF. Can someone with a factory service manual please confirm that this is the correct sequence for 1995? Thanks.

don't know why it would be differnt year to year, you start with the furthest from the resevoir and work your way to the closest. Is the same sequnce for my 84

Agreed, same way I do it on any car.

I don't know why it would be different either...but based on what I have read in previous posts, for certain model years the sequence did indeed vary from the traditional "farthest to closest" routine (assuming of course that the original posters knew what they were talking about).

All I need is for someone with a 1995 factory service manual to confirm the correct sequence. (BTW, I have a service manual but I was duped into buying the preliminary manual which lacks this information ). Thanks.

While I agree the RR,LR,RF,LF makes the most sense and is typically how it is done.. If I recall right my 89 manual listed the order as RF,RR,LR,LF

I am guessing because lines from the Master all go BEHIND the driver seat to the ABS pump, then to each wheel

I Believe the FSM states LR,RR,RF,LF. I could be wrong. I remember this because I was suprised on them starting on the LR First.
