Correct Brake Bleeding Sequence for 2g

Which is the correct way? The Chiltons and this thread say to use the diagonal pattern but then I came across this thread which said to go PR,DR, PF, DF.

Bizarre. Always do the furthest from the master and work closer. Even if you don't get it _just_right_, so what? The system's really not going to know. Think of all the cars out there whose systems have NEVER been flushed/bled, and how seldom you hear brake failure stories.

I did a complete big brake upgrade about 8 months ago, I gravity bled in no specific sequence at all, and ended up with evertyhing being fine. I didn't even do pedal pumps to bleed each corner. This is with ABS too.

Do I have a point? yea, I don't think it matters, but following procedures may help with something I'm totally unaware of and haven't stumbled across yet.

The rule of thumb that I have always gone by is bleed starting at the corner furthest from the master cylinder. That would be the second sequence that you posted.

For FWD you get a diagonal cross pattern type sections. Instead of your RWD which is seperated in two main front and seperate rear sections. This is done cause if one section on a FWD is lost. You still get one front and the opposite rear channel. This is done so that you don't loose the fronts brakes completely, which 75% to 80% of your stopping power. So propper sequence would be PR-DF-DR-PF (P-assenger side, D- Driver side, F- Front, and R- Rear). In most cause as long as you get the bubbles out of the line your fine.

This is from the factory shop manual. Passenger Rear, Driver Front, Driver Rear, Passenger Front. I tend to agree that if you get all the air bubbles out it really doesn't matter.

After searching around, I've found many sources saying to cross-bleed FWD. First I'd heard of it, I thought they were done inventing stuff by now. O well, is my nose red. And blinking.
