Hi Todd,
Thanks for the recommendation, the motive bleeder looks straight
forward and controllable by the hand pump. Their 0100 model lists
their adapter fitting VW's too. I'll see if I can find one locally
otherwise it looks like Motive sells by mail order too.

I stopped in Bellingham today and found the Harbor Freight store but
didn't find anything there I couldn't find in locally in Vancouver.
Their brake bleeder was the Might Vac, another vacuum system based on
shop air, and catch-bottles for the 2-person pump-the-brake-pedal
method. However I did find another eclectic store called "Hardware
Sales" http://www.hardwaresales.net/ which had a huge selection of
hardware, household, lighting, plumbing, automotive, safety, you-name-
it items you'd need to fix something or put something together. And
the staff know their stuff and are super friendly. While I was there,
a customer in an electric wheel chair came in and the assembly holding
the control lever was lose. She asked the sales rep if had a screw or
something to hold it together and he proceeded to find bits and pieces
to make a permanent, solid fix. That's uncommon customer service. I
ended up buying quite a bit of hard-to-find items there, so a good
find for the day.
