By the time you've been to TPS got the brake fluid and a proper pressure bleed kit the cost wont be much different. I'd much rather let them do it, it's probably the only job I'd take my car to VW for.

just take it to a local garage not the dealers you will save ££££

Bleeding brakes is a simple and easy job ( if it goes to plan ) nothing special about it that requires a dealer
