Ok, finally got around to doing this today. I followed everything I've read so far, installed the new mk60 pump. When I went to use vcds to activate the pump, it didn't have me do it multiple times like Ive read. I hit "go" and it ran the pump for a second or two, then it told me to open both front bleeders, then pump the brake 10 times, then close the bleeders. I hit next and it said "NA". After reading this post (

At any rate, the brakes had decent pressure, and I was running out of daylight, so I decided to go ahead and pressure bleed the rears, doing the LR first, followed by RR. Its actually the first time I've bled these brakes and using my motive power bleeder. I filled the master cylinder, pumped the power bleeder to 14.5 psi, and opened the LR bleeder nut. Fluid came out, but no bubbles. I kept an eye on the master cylinder to make sure that it remained full during the procedure. Again, 5 mins or so and no bubbles, so I closed it and moved to the RR. Followed the same procedure for it, and again, some dirty fluid, but no bubbles. It was dark at this point so i put the tires back on, and went for a drive. I actually wasn't sure if I still needed to pressure bleed the front two - since I ran the pump with vcds and during that procedure I saw some small bubbles, but from what I could tell, there weren't many.
Brake pedal feel isn't as hard as before, and ASR definitely isn't active. I found some loose gravel and was able to spin the tires. I hooked up VAG and it recognizes the mk60 pump with ASR so I know that it is not the unit, also, the ABS works.
I guess I'm going to go ahead and try to bleed all 4 again tomorrow with the power bleeder. Maybe I'll try to run the pump through vcds again? I'm not really sure where to start to troubleshoot the issue.
I posted this here in case you guys are able to help - it might also help any other noob's who are attempting this retrofit.
*EDIT* - I rebled everything this morning, starting with the vag abs function. I didn't realize that vag would run the pump, and give the "NA" after the 10 sec pump run when it was done. I only had to run it 2 times total. Rebled the entire system. When I started the car, the (!) dash light came on for the first time! Went out and found some leaves and TADAAA! ASR works! Now on to the switch!
Thanks again guys!
