What should I do if my brake fluid is bleeding?
The first step in bleeding your brakes is to jack up the car and remove all four wheels. The next step is to fill the system with brake fluid. I recommend using different colored brake fluid, in order to determine when fresh fluid has been flushed through the entire system.
How to stop Brake bleeding in Mercedes W204?
If you had to replace the master cylinder, or if the system needs a large amount of fluid, then supplement the bleeding process by opening up the right rear nipple and then pressing down on the brake pedal two or three times. Slowly release the pedal. Repeat for the other three corners of the car.
How much brake fluid does a bleeder kit hold?
The very large reservoir can hold about two quarts of brake fluid–more than enough for most brake flushing and bleeding jobs. The bleeder kit is a very useful and cost-effective tool to have in your collection. The system bleeds by pressurizing a bottle filled with brake fluid from air from an internal hand pump.

How does the Brake bleeding sequence really matter?
If you start with the wheel closest to the master cylinder and bleed it until there is no air, and then move on to the wheel furthest from the master cylinder (just as an example), as you’re pumping the air out of that longest branch you could realistically get more air bubbles in the shortest branch.
