Good stuff too

 

[JamesBryan]

Aye. Getting some more to bleed my brakes before Oulton.

 

[AdamR]

Nice one!

 

[imprezaworks]

If this is any use and i might stick a post up on the trackday in novemeber thread. I can get this for £8.28 including vat, if anyone was interested i could bring some to oulton then. Just a thought to help people out

Will one bottle of this be suffice to bleed the brakes on a Clio?

Yes ive done it, as long as you suck the old stuff out of the master then fill with the new stuff it will be fine.

 

[Simon_16v]

So suck the old stuff out, top up with fresh stuff and then bleed the calipers?

1 litre is enough. I bought 2 last time it was at this price. I fitted braided hoses all round and the system was drained completely. I've got 1 left over as a spare.

This is what I've used upto date. http://www.camauto.com/ferodo-car-brake-pads-and-fluid/ferodo-brake-fluid/ferodo-dot-5.1-brake-fluid
Is the one in OP a suitable replacement? Difference between the 2?

I dont know the ins and outs on brake fluid but this stuff has a high boiling point and lots of people have used it including me with 0 issues.

 

[JamesBryan]

Nice and easy too as you can see the blue coming through from the usual golden colour.

Yes matey, spot on.

Don't take it right down though, just to minimum. Don't want to risk getting air into the system.

I bled my brakes earlier in the year with this, great stuff and performed without any issues at Bedford.

I forgot to suck the old out first so I learnt the hard way! I also used the Gunson Easibleed kit, highly recommend it if your a one man band when working on your car.

 

[JamesBryan]

I use one of those Laser manual brake bleeders, really easy with that.

You wont, the only time you will if you bleed the brakes and run out of fluid.

Do as i have said and you will be fine.

Suck out old fluid, don't get it on your paint work.

Get as much of the old stuff out as you can, bleeding old dirty fluid through the master cylinder is not good.

 

[Fred@BTM]

700ml for the entire system (ABS)

 

[Simon_16v]

What's the best way to suck the old fluid out of the master cylinder?
