Brake bleeding help

hi I have a 2003 Octavia 1.9td wagon that has had new brakes in the rear including new pipes. Do I need to use vacuum to bleed these and also will I need to bleed the abs pump with vcds

 

many thanks for your time 

I did mine the traditional way, be aware that there are also 2 bleed nipples on the master cylinder itself, something I had never come across before, I could not get a firm pedal back until I bled them.

 

It may have been only one nipple but my memory tells me two, one for each diagonal circuit.

 

Editted, just for the rear brakes you wont need to bleed the master cylinder or ABS block unless you lost all the fluid by not capping the lines.
