Dot 4. Just get some 'branded' dot 4 and that should be fine.

Why would they have been messing with the brakes to know it needed fluid :shocked:

I wouldn't to suggest any particular stuff to you just in case it is not suitable. However, brake fluid is brake fluid & ATE make the front callipers on your car so I guess it would be ok. Get on eurocarparts, they have 31% off at the moment! :smiley:

VW do it for about £60 I think and will pressure bleed it properly. I'd let them do it. Brakes on clutches are a nightmare to bleed on these I've found lol.

VW quoted me £71.40 :shocked:
It is not something I would even attempt to do myself. I use a VAG expert who used to work at the local VW place some time ago, but he left and set up his own garage. He does all the work on my car that I can't do, and he is really very good, and more than reasonable on price :smiley:

Brake fluid change £59, when I went couple of weeks ago they offered deal on full aircon service if I had that done with brake fluid change total would be £99 :) full aircon service is normally £79
That was at VW Shrewsbury

By the time you've been to TPS got the brake fluid and a proper pressure bleed kit the cost wont be much different. I'd much rather let them do it, it's probably the only job I'd take my car to VW for.

The brake fluid cost me £16, I am not buying the pressure bleed stuff, as I am not doing it, my usual VAG mechanic is! I will post here to tell how much he charges me for it.

just take it to a local garage not the dealers you will save ££££
Bleeding brakes is a simple and easy job ( if it goes to plan ) nothing special about it that requires a dealer
