In order to bleed the brakes without a vac, you need to have one person by the caliper and another in the car.

1. Begin with the bleeder screw closed.
2. Press down on the brake pedal.
3. Open the bleeder screw until fluid stops draining.
4. Close the bleeder screw.
5. Release the brake pedal.
Maybe I did not make myself clear - this is exactly how I did it the last two times.

I've driven cars with air in brake system before - it feels different. With air in brake system, pumping of the brake pedal helps - second stroke is firmer than the first one. Not the case with this car.
Genuine brake pads are on order, if they do not help, it will go to a dealer for a warranty service.
