VERY URGENT - brake fluid capacity

[Guy]

how much brake fluid will i need to fill a 182 ??

i.e. drain old stuff out and refill with new stuff??

quick!

 

[EVOgone]

1.2 liters i think..

Make sure you bleed them right and get all the air out.

 

[Guy]

arse.. just bought one litre and thats all they had in. (comes in 500ml bottles - were 14.95 a bottle!)

 

[Guy]

anyone??

need to know if 1litre of fluid is going to be enough tomorrow to empty my brakes and refill/bleed

if not i'll have to order another 500ml which is gonna take a few days to be delivered..

I'm not sure? But be careful with the brake fluid! They EAT the paint!!!!

 

[Guy]

i know. its nasty stuff.

 

[Woodentop]

is there nothing in the manual?

 

[Guy]

couldnt see anything no

I'd say if you're careful 1 litre should be enough.

I gave the garage I use 2x 1 litre bottles for a complete system flush/bleed, and I got one bottle back unopened.

thanks mark! andy_gdi said a litre should do it

i'll just be mega careful.
