How much brake fluid i need to bleed braking system?

i have Karoq 1.5 tsi 2019 and i think brake fluid was never changed.

i will change it manually with minimal loss.

i buyed 1 litre of ATE 6 SL, will it be enough?

which order do i have to take, first rear wheels, than front?

i did it many times on my cars but i never had VAG.

A ltr should do the job.

ASkoda is no different as any other car, so the bleeding sequence is as usual. You might want to use a reader to bleed the abs unit, although it can also be done by a good abs break on soft soil. Abs comes in.

Yes, using the official workshop manual recommends the volumes of brake fluid that should be removed at each wheel brake, and so if auto trans, 1 litre is exactly what is required, but that could leave you being a bit short if you mess up doing this job.

I've always got away with using 1 litre per car but I probably deviate slightly with how much I remove from individual wheel brakes on a manual trans car, without changing the fluid within the clutch lines.

The recommended brake fluid is referred to as being DOT4 Low Viscosity, so sold as DOT4 ESP or similarly named, ordinary DOT4 is still being sold and is cheaper, but that is not compliant with what VW Group recommend.

I tend to begin with the brake furthest away from the ABS brake valve block and work my way to the shortest, and I've never had any problems with changing fluid.

Edit:- I tend to remove more than recommended volume from the first brake as I am removing the remainder of fluid from the reservoir plus the fluid in the longest pipe run.

This thread could be hit with many many people offering their own way of doing this, just the way it is!

A litre should be fine, I'd always say buy an extra one just in case and take it back if you don't need it.
