The system shows you what to do via text instruction on VCDS, such as "Press and hold the brake pedal down", "Open the bleed nipples on both front wheels (with the bleed pipes attached)", The ABS pump then kicks in automatically and then stops, the instructions continue. If you are using a Serial Interface then you can proceed to step 4. The process is covered in this video and also in this article by Ross-Tech. VCDS tells you exactly what to do step by step, you just need to make sure that you have TWO brake bleeding pipes that have a non-return valve in them. If you happen to have the SKC code that came with your car you can use VCDS to program the key without the aid of Vag-Tacho. Not only did it fix the problem that he and his mechanic had been trying to resolve for a long time, but it was so easy to do. I suggested this and when Doug (the member with the problem) tried it, he was VERY pleasantly surprised. I bought an Inexpensive OBDII-USB cable for using it with the free version of VCDS LITE (Ross Tech VCDS software). Here is the info in order to help any one.

HOW TO USE VCDS HOW TO
I had not done it myself but I was aware of that option. I experience the same thing and found a good info on how to sep up the cable and my VCDS LITE works awesome and I can read the codes. I had also heard that you can automatically bleed the brakes using VCDS. I had heard that if you run the brake fluid dry and air gets into the ABS system you get this problem. He had lost his brakes when a calliper piston seal went and he lost all of the fluid.

Check that Refuel Quantity is now displayed in the drivers MFD, shutdown VCDS. He was having trouble bleeding the brakes and could not get a firm pedal. Enable Bit 4 There is no Bit 4 to enable so go to Byte 10 and edit the Binary number from 01101010 to 01111010, hit return on laptop to save and close window, click Do It a confirmation box will open. A member contacted me directly the other day and asked if I could help.
