Bleeding brakes on 172

[C2kev]

Im gonna be bleeding my brakes this weekend so I need a definite answer please. What is the correct order to bleed them? I have searched but every thread says a different order :S.

also how much new fluid am I likely to need to do a proper job

1 litre will be fine for a full flush. Clio's don't really suffer from needing to be bled in a certain order afaik, I have never had any bother.

A g​ood rule of thumb for any car is start at the furthest point from the master cylinder.

So that's LR, RR, RF, LF on a 1*2

Shouldn't it be

LR, RR, LF, RF as master cylinder is drivers side?

Yes !

Flush about 250ml out of each corner !

Some threads on here say work diagonally from rr fl rl fr.

It doesn't really matter like in this case like Swede says.

Don't think I've ever done it in any particular order on my 1*2s and never had any problems - if you have abs just don't let the level run low as it is difficult to get air out of the abs circuit.

Yes...yes it should. I did me to say that.
