Ive never crashed using Pagid fluid which is good enough for me

Take your pick:

Dealer stuff
Mobil
LiquiMoly
ATE Typ 200
Bosch ENV6
Motul
Pagid

It's all just bog standard DOT4 that needs to be replaced every 2 years regardless, so there really is no gain in buying expensive stuff.

Although saying that, I *think* the Bosch stuff can go 3 years before a change.

Sounds good, thanks for this!

FatWelshBoy:
I used ATE SL6 as TPS stopped selling to the public and it was the only stuff I could find that's VW approved for the ABS pump.

breeze:
I really like AP Racing Factory R for fast road and occasional track use. Will put it in any performance car, even purely road cars.

As well as being able to take high temps (which I agree would be unlikely on the road), the pedal feel is the best I have ever come across. I do think some fluids can feel a little spongy under foot.

Just a question: so it doesn't really matter if it meets the VW 501 14 spec for brake fluid?

Thanks
