what is the difference, between dot 3 & dot 4+. and is there a bleeding order of sequence from one brake to the next

 

[BHart]

DOT 4 has a higher boiling temp than DOT3, which means it will withstand higher brake temperatures. 4 is also less likely to attracting moisture - more important to cars that aren't used for extended periods. It also costs a bit more so if you're a driver who is not too hard on the brakes and drives fairly easy, 3 might be sufficient.

Yes, there is a specific procedure and sequence to bleeding your brakes. Most Hanynes manuals outline the procedure for specific models well.

Shaner you usually start with the wheel furthest from your master cylinder. What make/model do you have?

The model is important since the technique varies.

I am most familiar with the 1800 since I just did mine this summer. There are 6 bleed nipples (2 ea front calipers and 1 ea rear) that need to be done in a specific order to keep things happy. Plus, you have to dis-engage the brake proportion warning switch so is does not get damaged during the process.

Your model may be simpler but do the research first.
