Might be, i'd try it for sure. Obviously being french it seems to be backward and you start with the closest to. Although i'm not sure most cars aren't closest too now I think about it.
When I did mine I did about 15-20 pumps per corner to work the fresh fluid through. What order are you bleeding them in? I went drivers front, passenger front, drivers rear then passenger rear as per the haynes manual.
I was on 3 for the last 2.5yrs, changed to orange and I will be going back after this contract is finished. Not impressed with orange at all, signal is no better than with 3 (no surprise though) and you get f**k all for your money with orange whereas you get quite a lot with 3.
