Brake fluids

snapey:
How do, I'm on opieoils at the minute making the most of the discount.

I know I'm coming up to the point at where the fluids going to be changed and I'm after a bit of info which fluid would be best to purchase? Or is it better to leave it to the local garage to make the decision and put in what they believe to be best for the car?

This is basically what I have to choose from.

Also does anyone know the volume stored within the brakelines etc?

Many thanks, Luke

If you have ABS on your car you ideally would want a brake fluid with low viscosity.

I used to use Ate super blue racing fluid in mine that wasn't low viscosity. TT has convinced me to use the VW oem brake fluid instead.

JPC:
how did he convince you of that?

He put the fear of god into me when he mentioned how much an ABS unit costs to replace. Apparently if VW find the brake fluid isn't oem, they won't warranty it if it goes bad.
