Brake Bleeding

[PorscheBishop]

Another job looms!
Couple of questions about bleeding the brakes:
First, I have vacuum bleed tool which connects to each calliper in turn (one or two bleed nipples) and sucks fluid/air through, is this ok to use instead of the type that pressurises the system from the reservoir end? (works on a Porsche 964 C4!)
Second is this likely to throw up any error codes?

Thanks

It might not work on its own..

I believe you might have to set the abs module / pump into a neutral or a bleed state for it to work with VCDS or similar.

I leave it to my specialist...
