2001 C5 Coupe Brake Bleed Order
Hi All,
Wondering what the correct bleed order is?
What does this depend on again distance from master cylinder?

Correct me if wrong but I believe it's start with the one close to the master cylinder and work to the farthest.

Correct order is farthest first, so
A: Right (passenger) rear
B: Left (drivers) rear
C: Right (passenger) front
D: Left (drivers) front

I know you don't do the procedure like an older car because of the anti-loc brakes.
It is also different on the years because of location of the anti-loc unit.

So is this correct for a 2001 based on the abs location?
When you say left that's the drivers side right?

Bleed sequences. . . . .
97 - 00 RR LR RF LF
01 - 04 RR LF LR RF
And if I have to explain what's Left and Right you probably shouldn't be bleeding your own brakes anyway.
