May I humbly suggest the Motive Power Bleeder, http://www.motiveproducts.com/

I bought one ($45), and it works so well, and is so easy to use, that I have considered using it to bleed my brakes when I'm bored, just for fun.

I've used it on my Scirocco, Golf, and Vanagon (including the clutch system). Friends have borrowed it.

It Just Works Great! I have no affiliation with Motive; just got lucky and saw one in a store.

Last bleed for the 'Rocco, I changed to a different type of fluid. Motive made a 100% change of fluid into a trivial task. I bled the system again a day later, it was so easy. Flushed more brown crud out of the lines, must have been hiding in the pressure equalizer these cars have.

Get One!

IMHO
