Default Proper sequence to bleed 01 A$ brades

I've installed new rotors and pads on my 01 A4 and now need to bleed the brake system. Can someone provide me the correct order to bleed the brakes. i.e. Left front 1st, right front 2d. ? Thanks in advance for any help.

Just think of it in terms of bleeding the calipers in order of the farthest from the master cylinder, to the closest. That way, any bubbles in the lines are gradually moved forward to the master cylinder where they can be burped out of the reservoir. Start with the passenger rear, then the driver rear, then passenger front, and finish with the driver front, and you'll be set.

You shouldn't have to bleed the system if all you did was change pads and rotors. However, if for some reason you unhooked a brake line then you should do it.
