your still not understanding the order...its not 1 side, then the other side. You have to start furthest from your Master Cylinder or in some cars, the abs unit. That means in our cars, if you are bleeding for the master cylinder, you will start with the rear right, then the rear left, then the front right, and finally the front left. If you dont do it in that exact order, then you are wasting your time cause the air will still be trapped in the lines.
Hope this helps

Anytime your doing a job like that it is best to have a power bleeder... About a month ago I helped my friend change all four rotors on his Audi TT and brake lines as well. When it came to bleed the system we used a power bleeder punped it up to about 15psi and started from the back right wheel and while he worked his way closer to the Master Cylinder I made sure the pressure stayed up there at the 15psi mark.... Worked like a charm and completely got all the tiny air bubbles out of the system.

since out cars have the abs unit on the pass side the "standard" bleeding order does not apply. the wheel closest to the abs unit and thus the master cylinder as well, since everything goes from MC to ABS, is the right front.
for our cars the proper order is: RR, LR, RF, LF

I installed all 4 TT brake calipers, and my pedal is mushy as well.
I rebuilt the brake master with an OEM rebuild kit(SUPER EASY), and I also bench bled the crap out of the brake master.
I had a friend come over and pump the brakes while we did furthest to closest to the master cylinder, and nadda...If I pump the pedal all 4 brakes hit hard for a second, but then it pushes past that, then the front brakes catch hard near the end of the pedal stroke.
I might have someone bleed the system with a machine to see if it makes a difference.
