Will be fitting braided hoses at some point over the next few weeks, and was wondering what brake fluid people recommend?I was just going to get the AP stuff that Miles stocks, has anyone tried it? ________________________________________ Ecosse Dyno Day 31/10/09175.2Bhp & 149lb/ft  |

brake fluid boiling point comparionAP 600 Boiling point is 590 Dry and 410 Wet. The wet is the important bit as fluid absorbs water over time. Do not mix it with any other brake fluid. Full flush required or its boiling point temps are reduced. AP600 is good for the price v boiling point. Anyway good to support Miles. brake fluid FAQ |

What kind of work do you do in the car?If you are looking to perhaps get it on track then going for a decent racing Dot 4 like Motul RBF600 will be a smart move  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

If your are careful you can do it with 500ml, but as you are likely to be changing the fluid completely then a litre will cover it ________________________________________ E reg 205GTI non sunroof maybe for sale m.o.t'd ideal rally, trackday car, also have 6 engine and box available |
