Vehicle - 1994 Civic

Is there a specific order one should follow to correctly bleed brakes?

Is the following order correct for a '94 Civic:

1) Rear Drivers Side
2) Front Drivers Side
3) Rear Passenger Side
4) Front Passenger Side

Or should you bleed the rear brakes first and then the front brakes?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The system is dual-diagonal, so your sequence is correct. If you have ABS,
you'll have to bleed the power unit separately.

Normally you start witht he wheel furthest from the master cylinder and work
in from there. So it would be:

1) Rear Passenger Side
2) Rear Drivers Side
3) Front Passenger Side
4) Front Drivers Side

????????

Do you mean,

Rear Drivers Side
Front Passenger Side
Rear Passenger Side
Front Drivers Side

Is this what you are saying or is it something else?

OK, your sequence is NOT correct, despite my reply earlier. I did not look
carefully enough at your sequence. Dimmi's is correct.

His acronyms mean:
ReaR Right
FRont Left
ReaR Left
FRont Right.

This is the correct procedure for dual-diagonal.

Dual front/rear split (as on most Toyotas) would involve:
RR R
RR L
FR R
FR L

RR to me always meant ReaR
FR - FRont (sometimes they screw it and FR means front right, but nevermind
them)
R - RIGHT
L- LEFT

I encoded the sequence in this manner so that it doesn't matter whether your
car has steering wheel on the right or left side.
It is pretty dangerous to refer "driver's" or "passenger's" 'cause you never
know what country the other poster is from, how freaky his vehicle is, etc.
....and of course I assumed you are from Australia, therefore I did not use
your terminology, instead I used something more common to eliminate
intercontinental misunderstanding (RR, FR, R, L). Did not work though...

Thanks to Tegger for decoding! Good job ;-)))

Thanks dimmi,

So regardless if your Civic 1994 (non ABS) is a left hand drive or right
hand drive, the correct order to bleed your brakes is:

1) Rear Right
2) Front Left
3) Rear Left
4) Front Right
