R32 brakes with dot 5 brake fluid

(1/1)

vagmaster:
Hi guys can anyone tell me if dot 5 brake fluid can be used with R32 braking system as I have been told that may need to uprate servo

sub39h:
short answer is NO

it's a totally different brake fluid that may cause the water to separate from the fluid and corrode the braking system.

if you want "uprated" fluid you'll need DOT5.1, but that's probably also unnecessary as this thread explains:
