Mk3 which break-fluid?

Postby axxez » Mon Feb 06, 2017 10:12 pm

Hi there!

Ongoing questions about my breaks.... So this time, an easy one: Which break-fluid is the correct one? Additional: What if there is more than 1 possibilitie and I have to top the existing DOT-whatever fluid?

Cheers

Should say on the resivior cap .
Being a mk3 it will say DOT3 or possibly 4 .
ne m'écoute pas je suis plein de merde.

As said above, originally would have been Dot3, but Dot4 can be used as an upgrade. Dot5, I think is synthetic and shouldn't be used :)
