Hey guys, i come up with a question today.

I've always bleed my brakes starting from the corner furthest from the bb/mc (and finishing on the one closest) without any problems but today my mate working at honda was telling me that with honda's you bleed them starting from the wheel CLOSEST to the ABS unit...

Curious as to which way everyone else does it and any input on what is the actual correct way.

*edit* sorry if this belongs in the noob section

Starting from the furthest away, never head from the closest before.

even my tafe teachers taught us from the furthest away.

some newer cars you need the appropriate computers to bleed the brakes, and some go in criss cross patterns

yeah some cars you need to hook up a scanner in order to open up all the valves in the abs unit.

most of the honda get bled from front left,front right, back right, back left. im pretty sure thats accords, crv and jazz, then civics are criss cross, not sure on this pattern but by memory back right, front left, back left, front right......according to workshop manual
