rich83 - Edition 30..... Breaking
rich83:
Oddly... the fluid in the reservoir was filthy (as per the picture), but the stuff coming out of the calipers was fairly clean, just slightly darker than fresh OEM and a bit cloudy, looked a bit like olive oil.
I think it was changed 2 years ago when I had the brembos fitted. I did cook the fluid last year though.
I pulled 250ml out of each side of each brembo ( so 500ml per caliper) and about 300ml out of each rear. Probably far to much but at least I know its all fresh now.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that it's about 200ml per calipers on stock calipers so that's actually about right for bleeding. I pulled about the same amount through when I did mine, wanted to make sure I had absolutely no left over old fluid.

200 ml fronts
400 ml rears
Is the quoted values in the VW blurb
rich83:
Cool. Looks like I did about right then. I plan to change the rear calipers soon anyway so might end up having to re-bleed them anyway.
The rear bleed screws are a complete twat to get too. Why make them so awkward?

If your is a manual did you do the clutch - 100ml?
