YES!
The sequence of bleeding is like so:
Rear Right
Rear Left
Front Right
Front Left[/I][/B]

Question: Is your vehicle right hand drive and is the master on the left or right? In the US the master is on the left (Driver's side)

Normally it takes 5X to get a great flow and all the air out. I personally do the power bleeding sequence then go back and do a manual bleed AFTER wards, using 80-90% pedal travel as some of the master cyl pistons will cross a water pock section of the bore and tear the piston cup edges. Once that happens you will never get a normal pressure stroke out of the master, forcing a master cyl replacement procedure.

Note: Smack each caliper with a SOFT faced hammer between bleeds as crap gets trapped in their as well. Due to the extra small brake lines and connectors, it takes a while to get clean flow all the way to the right rear as you are flushing the entire system line to that point.

Once the ABS system has air it will take more than a few approaches to clear out. Multiple people have posted that they actually had to drive and activate ABS involvement twice then go back and bleed again to clear all the air from the system.

Good luck.
